How to make extra Money from your computer

I'm a full-time Momma and it's HARD leaving my baby boy every morning for work.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be a stay at home mom.  That would be my dream job.  But, I want Max to grow up not worrying about Mom or Dad being able to afford the little things.

So, for now, I continue to work to provide for my family.

There are some things that I'm currently doing to help SAVE money and to EARN money.

My goal right now is to earn enough money to buy Christmas Gifts... it's never too early to start planning for Christmas!

2 of my favorite sites right now are:::

1. EBATES

2. SWAGBUCKS


With EBATES, you earn cash back through everyday online purchases.  Need to order something from Target?  Go to ebates first to activate your cashback and you can earn a % of your purchase back!  You also earn money by referring friends and family, so that's always an easy way to earn some money as well!  Friends and Family love helping out!

Swagbucks is a little different than EBates.  You can earn "swagbucks" by purchasing through their site, but they also have multiple ways of earning SB that you can turn into gift cards, cash, etc.

- You can answer online surveys for SB points.
- You can answer daily poll questions.
- You can watch videos for SB points.
- You can search the web through their site for SB points.

Basically, Swagbucks is an easy way to earn as many points as you want as long as you're willing to spend some time with it.

Like I said, my goal is to earn enough to cover a majority of my Christmas shopping this year.  In the future, I'd love to see this turn into more income! 

Do you have success with either EBates or Swagbucks?  If so, I want to hear about it!

Life Rewind

Well... it looks like the last time I blogged was when I was 27 weeks pregnant.

A LOT has happened since then.  I repeat, a LOT has happened.

I have the most precious {almost} 3 month old baby boy that you ever did see, Max.

He's melted and stolen my heart in these short months and I cannot wait to share with you all his milestones.

My pregnancy was for the most part so dreamy.  Never once did I get sick.  Never once did I have blood pressure problems.  I didn't have gestational diabetes.  I didn't swell much at all. 

The only negatives would be me eating SO MUCH FOOD {cause I was hangry all of the time} and gaining way more weight than I should have and a couple of episodes of unexplained spotting.

In the end?  COMPLETELY worth it all.

Oh, and Max kept Mom and Dad waiting 6 days over his due date to meet his sweet face.

I wouldn't believe everyone until I saw him for the first time, but it INDEED WAS. SO. WORTH. THE. WAIT.

I'll try to blog more about Max, about our family, and about what is going on in our lives.

I'm a total Mom now, back to working Full-Time, and trying to balance getting my body back {it's taking forever and I'm embracing the journey} and trying to balance the work/baby Max/ household life.

Man, it sucks to put it politely to only be able to see your baby for a few hours a day before he's off to bed.

I'll cry about all of that later.
