Get Ready For Cyber Monday - Tips To Help You To Save More Money!!

Cyber Monday is tomorrow! Get prepared now by signing up for Cash Back sites!

Have you tried Cash back sites yet? If not, then you are missing out on an easy way to save money while shopping online. Cash-back sites are so easy to use! Right now is especially an awesome time to sign up, if you haven't yet!

Here's How it works:

1. All you have to do is sign up. It is Free & Easy to sign up & only takes a few minutes. My two favorite cash back sites are Ebates and Shop at Home, I Love them both! You should sign up for both of them.When you sign up for Shop at Home you will receive a $5 sign on bonus, when you sign up for Ebates you can choose to either get a gift card or a $5 Ebates sign on bonus! After you sign up, add both of the sites to your bookmarks, your favorites, or favorites toolbar (ect.) so that you remember to use it!
2. Then, the next time you are getting ready to make an online purchase, you will simply go to Shop at Home or Ebates first and search for your company's website you are planning on shopping. You select the website link and place your order as you normally would. 
3. In a few weeks, your cash back account will be credited for a percentage of your purchase. You can typically get back around 4% cash back. However, sometimes (especially during the Holiday season) they run specials and you can get back up to 20-25% or even more! Once your account reaches the amount for cash back they will send you a check by mail or deposit into Pay Pal.
4. You can also refer your friends to both Shop at Home and Ebates to earn even more cash! {Thank you for signing up with my referral links!}  

These sites are also an awesome way to stack your savings! If you see an online coupon code available for a store, you can still use it while you shop through Cash back Sites! One time, I saw a sale on item that was 75% off, plus I had a coupon code for FREE Shipping, and then I was able to get another 7% cash back on top of this already fabulous deal!

So, the next time that you find a great online sale or deal, be sure to check Shop at Home or Ebates to see if you can also take advantage of additional cash back offers. It only takes a few seconds that turn into Cash in your pocket!

Merry Christmas!

I know that many different families celebrate the holidays in different ways. Our family celebrates the birth of Christ and we try our hardest to keep the focus on our Savior's birth. However, we do mention Santa to add some fun. When I saw this poem I loved it because it still lets of picture of Santa without overshadowing the true reason we celebrate. We read this poem every year on Christmas Eve. I hope that you enjoy it as well!

Santa's Prayer On Christmas Eve

The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.
There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.

I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.
I will visit each household before the first light,
I'll cover the world and all in one night.

With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.
To get in the house is the difficult part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.

My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.
The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.

I can do all these things Lord, only through You,
I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.
All this is to honor the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.

So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."

Written by: Warren D. Jennings


Merry Christmas to all my family, friends, and readers!
I hope that your day is especially blessed!
