I'm Back

I have been working a lot on my other blogs so I have sadly been neglecting this one. I still want to keep this blog up but I am finding that I am very busy with the others. I am really excited about my Horse Approved blog/site. Last month I started a Horse Lover's Blog Carnival and it has taken off nicely. I have found a lot of really good blogs through this carnival.

I have also been involved in a couple of other carnivals with my Time To Budget blog. I will have to do that again. I submitted to a PayPerPost Postie carnival and a Debt Free carnival.
Anyway, I will try and be more active on this blog.

Insurance Rates

Insurance has been on my mind lately. Mainly health insurance but also car insurance and home insurance. Just insurance in general. My husbands work is changing and they are offering us health insurance and I am not sure I should take the plan they are offering. We had a meeting with the insurance agent and it was a bit confusing. Our home and car insurance are with State Farm. We have been with them for about 20 years and are please with the service. I am not sure we will ever change but I suppose we should at least compare car insurance to find out if we are getting a good rate. We have been trying to save money any way we can.

PayPerPost is making me sad :(

I will now have less offers than before because they have implimented segmentation. I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't put so much weight on the PR. From what I understand and experienced myself the Page Rank score varies and can change from quickly and without warning.
I get it that the advertisers want people to actually see their ads but I wish they could determine this by averaging unique visitor stats instead. At least that was we could know how many people actually visit the site instead of PR. I mean I have a domain that had a PR of 3 and had no visitors and only about 50 links to it. How does that make any sense at all? It doesn't.
Anyway, I guess I will have to live with it. So now I am going to try and build my other blog's PR by linking to in now. Check out my Time To Budget blog for budgeting and making money online.

I guess I will have to be sure to link all my non-paid posts to my own blogs :(. I know there are other ways to increase PR but this just seems the easiest option right now.

Valentines Day - Buy your sweetheart something nice


Only a week away is Valentines Day and I hope you are thinking about buying something nice for your sweetheart (hint,hint, honey). I think you should buy your sweetheart a nice gift card to Kohls (hint, hint). Or you can pick something out online using a Kohls coupon. I'm pretty sure I can take it back to my local Kohls if I don't like it (hint, hint). Does my husband ever read my blog? I don't think so, so I don't know why I am hinting.

More great coupons at CouponChief.com.

Shopping Online

I haven't done much shopping online lately. Mainly because I am broke and don't have any money to go shopping at all. I am hoping with my husbands new job change we will have a little extra money to spend on things we need as well as some things we want. Of course even if I had loads of money I probably would still use coupons. Especially online coupons. I would also like to get more into online rebates like what Ebates offers. You can get money back for shopping online. I like money back.
This is how Ebates works:
Ebates earns sales commission from merchants. Most sites keep the money, but not Ebates! We turn this commission into Cash Back and send you the savings in the form of a Big Fat Check!


So, hopefully I wil be able to do some Ebates shopping here pretty soon. Check out their Macys deals.

Cell Phones

It's that time again. I am thinking about upgrading to a new phone. I think it's almost pathetic that I feel the need to have a new phone only after owning this one for a year. With all this "bluetooth" talk I am feeling the need to own one myself.
I checked out the wifefly.com ebay site today and I think they have some great auctions. Sometimes I forget ebay and all the deals you can get if you bid right.
So Wirefly on eBay has a ton of new cell phones up for "buy it now" and "best offer". They also offer free FedEx shipping in the US. They have a feedback rate of 99%.
Wirefly is the #1 authorized online agent for Verizon Wireless, Cingular Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, Nextel.


I'm Back

I haven't blogged here on this blog for a while. I have been busy with my other blogs. I started a new personal blog > SuperMom Life. I will still post on this one but I am just trying to get a blogging routine down. I may have a blogging sickness. I am not sure. :)
