Sorry it's been so long since my last post, but it gets crazy around our house this time of year. Since my husband and I both teach, things are winding down with the end of year activities. He is the senior sponsor, so he deals with the senior trip and has to get things ready for graduation. Not to mention he coaches the track team.

I was planning on doing another online offer. This time through either Netblue or Nuitech, but so far I haven't found an offer that works for me. With Nuitech, you have to keep all but 2 of the offers for at least 60 days and some of their offers are very expensive. Maybe I'll just wait awhile and see if something else comes along that works out better.

I have still been doing surveys and am anxious to see how that all pans out. I have tried 2 bank offers and so far they both seem great. I've even done a little bit of Christmas shopping through cashbaq.com and at scholastic.com on recommendation of Carrie. Check out their sales and 75% off sections. You never know what you'll find. I did get my $50 rebate back from Verizon Wireless on my new cell phone. I'll put that in with my secret stash and save it for a rainy day.

I've been checking out several sites for taking surveys. Some of the sites that seem to be pretty good are:
Vindale Research - They claim to pay between $5 - 75 for each survey you complete. I made $5.00 today for doing research on a credit check company. It was pretty interesting. When you do these types of activities you have to make sure to mark down the date you need to cancel by if you are joining something.

I get a lot of opportunities to do surveys for Survey Spot. I'm not sure how good the pay out is on it. I'll let you know when I get rewarded in the future. Another site is zoompanel.com. On this site, you get points for surveys and then cash out for products.

Send earnings is another site that you may do surveys, but you can also earn money by reading emails and playing games. Check it out by clicking on the send earnings icon on the sidebar of my blog. This pays out at $30.00.

Next time I'll discuss the affiliates that can be added to your blog for another way to make money. Keep on using those coupons and hitting those sales to save money also. With the economy the way it is we can use every bit of savings we can find!

Today is Easter Sunday and we had a great service this morning. Our church is really trying to reach out to those in need of a church in our community. We had a special service held in the high school cafetoium. There were 300 people present which is about twice the number we usually have. The place was pretty full. We would have never been able to get that many people in our church building or even to find parking places for everyone. It was an awesome service.

The praise band did a great job and Shawn, our preacher, always has a fantastic sermon. Today was different though because of the cardboard testimonies that were given after the sermon. It was just so touching. I had tears rolling down my cheeks most of the time during this part. It just brings to your attention how God works in other peoples' lives. The young people who gave their testimonies were brave and sincere in sharing their struggles. It was just a great service. All the glory to God!
