I am starting a NEW blog!

I will keep you updated but I am starting a new blog and I will be DEDICATED to blogging everyday!

Oh my gosh! It has been TO long!!!!!!

WOW! Is it really December already? Christmas is just around the corner :) My FAVORITE time of year!
So much has happened since I posted over a freakin month ago!!!!!!

Akira lost FOUR baby teeth. Both top and both bottom front ones. She looks so adorable with her huge gap in the front of her mouth. And she has been telling Santa all she wants for Christmas are her teeth, lol! I had to tell her that she should tell Santa what toys she wants because Santa is a toy maker NOT a tooth maker. She doesn't care though, she is sick of people telling her they know what she wants for Christmas (her teeth) so I guess she is really hoping they grow in sooner than later.

We had some big snow this weekend that I was not expecting but thats okay because I love the snow and hope (as always) for a white Christmas.

I have been listening to Christmas music non stop! Christmas is my all time favorite time of the year. Not just because of the presents (although they are nice) but because of the cheer most people have and the Christmas music, the lights and decorations and overall what Christmas stands for. I have been trying to explain to Akira about baby Jesus and I think she semi gets it as much as a 6 year old can. We went to a really neat Santa's Workshop/Live nativity scene last weekend and she really enjoyed it. That is another thing I love about Christmas, the Church plays and shows and Live Nativity scenes. They always make me cry!

Akira's Christmas list has gotten as big as she is. She wants Ponies, Polly Pockets, Littlest Pet Shops, Bratz, Ds Games, Wii Games, HER OWN CELL PHONE ( so she can text people!), makeup, and the list goes on! She is lucky mommy starts her shopping early, lol.
It makes me so sad to think about the people struggling to even buy food, let alone Christmas gifts (thanks for everything George Bush, can't wait to see ya go). If I won the lottery today I would help as many people as I could and wouldn't think twice about it. I cry reading the stories on Craigslist about people needing help and I really wish I could do something to help. In the past I have adopted families but unfortunately money does not allow for that this year and it sincerely breaks my heart.

SO anyways, on a different note: I AM SO HAPPY BARACK OBAMA WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I was thinking about moving out of the US if Sarah Palin won (and it would have been her winning because McCain would have probably dropped dead from excitement on election night). I watched the debates, I watched the interviews and I just could not believe they would actually pick her to run for VP. WOW! At least I was obviously not the only one who thought that as obviously (and thank God) Obama won.

Blah Blah Blah. I am not really all about elections and politics. This was actually the first one I have been involved with and excited to vote on so I am happy it turned out the way I wanted it to.

Okay, the weight loss......HAS BEEN AWESOME! I feel great. I have energy. I can wear jeans I have had since before I had my daughter SIX years ago! My face has cleared up (and I have had acne for years!), I can actually run after my daughter and catch her without having to stop and rest, lol! Seriously, it is great and I LOVE IT! I am going to post some before and after pics eventually. If anyone wants to try it, I highly, highly recommend it. It is called Fat Loss for Idiots and you can get it here! I highly recommend it. It is easy, delicious and did I mention easy to follow?

I am also working on a website to list ALL of the work from home opportunities that I have found. Not the shitty scams that you have to pay for. I am talking about legitimate, actual companies that pay people to work from home, so be on the lookout for the links to that in the near future.

Well, I am off to bed.

Only 1:30 and it has already been a LONG day!

For some reason Akira and Caitlyn are NOT getting along today and I am so frustrated! They are fighting over anything and everything from what they want to eat to what they are both going to play with. Uggghhhhhhh!

I am feeling very energetic from the diet but still not feeling like dealing with a 5 and a 6 year old who are doing nothing but fighting and telling on each other. It is so damn irritating. Blah!

Just wanted to vent a little, lol. I will post again later.

Dill's Greenhouse Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze

We went to the pumpkin patch today with my mom and little brother and it was so much fun. We did a hayride, face painting, corn maze, picked pumpkins and so much more!
Akira and my brother shared a funnel cake which I jealously watched them eat but I am have been doing very good on the fat loss 4 idiots diet and I am down 11 pounds. I am not losing as fast as they say I will but I am seeing results so I am happy about that!
ChaCha is going great! I think I hit all of the power hours this weekend so I should have some nice extra money in my account tomorrow, lol.

So anyways, it has been a wonderful weekend and I am looking forward to this week!

Brrrrr. It is so cold all of a sudden!

I feel like this weather took me by complete surprise! Don't get me wrong, I expected cold weather but I do not even have the winter clothes out!
So anyways, the weight loss for idiots diet is going SPLENDID! I have lost 7 pounds eating foods I actually like. I have so much more energy, lol! Instead of hitting the snooze button a million times in the morning, I can get right up. I have been drinkning more water instead of the 2-3 Mountain Dews I would usually drink and the acne that I have tried everything under the sun to try and get rid of it has been clearing up!!!!! And, this is he best part in my opinion, because I have been eating different things, my 6 year old has been trying new things too.
I am so thrilled with this diet and cannot wait to lose more!!!!!!!!!! I am still looking for anyone who wants to go at this with me so if you are interested, let me hear from you! We could encourage each other and lose weight together!

http://zinfee.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net/ This is a link to the diet program I purchased, I am not at all saying this is for everyone but it seems to be working great for me!

Time for some ChaCha so I will blog more later.

ChaCha Debit Card received!

I am too excited! I got my ChaCha debit card in the mail today so much sooner than I expected. For those of you who know nothing about ChaCha, lol, it is a wonderful way to make extra money from home working whatever hours you want! If you want to sign onto ChaCha at night after the kids are in bed while you are watching your favorite show and answer some questions, you can! When I say answering questions what I mean is, ChaCha is a company where people can text any question to ChaCha and ChaCha employs human guides to research the questions and respond via the ChaCha system who will then send the person back a text with their answer.
It is wonderful! If you want to sign up, you can go to www.chacha.com and click on Become a Guide in the lower left hand corner and you can use my email christie@zinfeesbargains.como as your referral. I highly recommend everyone sign up and make money today!
About my brand new and super fabulous debit card, lol. ChaCha has two payment methods. You can choose Pay me Now or Pay me Monthly. If you choose Pay me Monthly, obviously you will be paid via check once a month.
If you choose Pay me Now, you sign up for a bank account through First Indiana Bank and it is through ChaCha. Everyone is approved, they do not credit checks, no checksystem checks or anything like that, every single person is approved. They then mail you a debit card with a Visa logo so you do not only have to use an ATM machine, you can use it as a debit card. On ChaCha, you can push the Pay me now button WHENEVER you want! You can push it every day (which I do), you can push it 5 times a day, you can push it once a week, it is totally up to you. Within 5 minutes of pushing the Pay Me Now button, your money is available in your bank account for use!

I love it.

ChaCha everyone, ChaCha!

Weight Loss 4 idiots...A weight Loss Challenge!!

Hello all!

So I have decided that I am tired of carrying extra baggage around in the form of a spare tire stomach and big thighs. I have been researching different weight loss programs online because I really do not have the time to go to Weight Watchers meetings, nor do I want to pay a monthly membership when I probably wouldn't go to the meetings, lol!
So..the one I found with the best reviews is called fat loss for idiots and it is getting amazing reviews!

http://zinfee.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net/

So, I wanted to see if anyone out there wanted to join me for a weight loss challenge! To purchase the ebook and everything you need it is only $39.95 (cheaper than Weight Watchers which I like), no monthly membership fees (which I like), and according to most of the reviews it is a program that teaches you how to eat right so you can keep the weight off. Plus they offer a 60 day money back guarentee! If we don't see the results that they promise, we can get our money back!
If anyone is interested in doing this with me, I will be blogging about my success (cause I know I will succeed/hope I will succeed, lol) and we can post comments and stuff on here with inspirational stories and other fun stuff.

http://zinfee.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net/

I am hoping to start by this weekend, and of course if you want to start later you can but I am excited to chart my progress.

Comment this blog if you are interested in starting, if you have purchased the program or if you have any inspirational stories!

I look forward to hearing from all of you!

Single mommy and loving it.

Being a single mom is not as bad as some people claim it is. I get to spend so much more time with my daughter and do not really care if I have a significant other. I actually prefer to focus on raising Akira rather than focusing on the title "single mom".
What do you guys think about single moms? Do you think that they should spend more time looking for a significant other who can end their "single mom" status or do you think they should be happy to concentrate on raising their babies?
I personally think it is their choice. I am not the type to go trolling the bars looking for a husband, lol. When I meet someone, I will meet them but until then, I am perfectly happy with my life the way it is. The life of a single mommy :)

Forgot to mention....

I found a website (actually it was emailed to me, thank you! :) and it is amazing. It compares coupons (both ones you can print off the website, and ones in the Sunday paper) to local store ads and tells you how you can get groceries for virtually free. It is awesome.
It is called lionshare.com so I would check it out if I were you.

Another good one is called volition.com and I have mentioned this one before but they are always worth mentioning again! Lol.

So check out their websites, save a little (Or a lot) of money and be happy!

Growing Pains :(

Akira was up until after 1 am with growing pains. I feel so bad because I remember having growing pains when I was younger and they do not feel good. I feel like my arms ran a marathon after rubbing her poor little legs for over an hour, lol.
I have so many projects going on right now, it is pretty overwhelming but it will all work out in the end.

The 7 continents

My daughter is singing the cutest song and it helped her learn all of the continents!
It is to the tune of Frer Jaques and it goes:
There are 7, there are 7
continents, continents
Europe, Asia, Africa
North and South America
Australia
Antartica

It is so cute!
We have been singing it at the top of our lungs, lol!

I love ChaCha!!!

I could ChaCha every single night and I am not talking about the dance, lol. For those of you who have not heard about ChaCha, it is a company that people can text message ANY question (and when I say anything, I mean any question you could ever have) and they employ human "guides" to look up the question on the internet and then respond via the ChaCha system and ChaCha sends a text message back to them. It is so easy and soooo much fun! Plus, I have FIVE people on my team now which is awesome. And it was free to sign up and I have already made close to $400.oo this month!
If you want to be a ChaCha guide, you can go to ChaCha.com, click on Become a guide in the lower left hand corner and use christie@zinfeesbargains.com as your referral.

Are you ready to do the ChaCha!

A long but wonderful weekend!

I have been working on creating a parenting forum for work from home and stay at home parents. I want it to be this wonderful online community full of resources and knowledge that parents who stay at home can us to find money saving tips, job opportunities for working form home (REAL ONES!), share baby/kid stories, get other parents advice and more!
It is http://wahmommies.createforum.net and I am so excited to get it up and running!
If you visit my blog, I would love for you to become a member of this forum :)

Anywho, this weekend has been so much fun! On Saturday we went to the park and had a picnic with my mom and younger brother and then to the old Covered Bridge (again!) where we found all kinds of stuff that blew out of the trees and we caught tadpoles in my Burger King cup, lol! The later we went to the library with my sister. It smelled horrible in there like people don't know how to bathe properly, but it was still alot of fun. Akira has also discover that she loves the movie Little Rascals which is great because that movie is hilarious, although I am sure it wont be long before she wants to start her own She girl man hating club or something, lol!

I am in the process of deep cleaning my house which is not so much fun because Akira like to play in the rooms I have already cleaned so she has more space to play which means I have to reclean those rooms. It is like a never ending cycle!

But, Oh well, such is life.

So, I am off to start cleaning another room that I will have to clean again later this everning but at least my baby is having fun!

www.zinfeesbargains.com

Www.zinfeesbargains.com has some amazing work from home information! I actually really like this site a lot. Some of the work from home things are free but some do charge a fee. You should browse around and check it out! It seems like they have really done some research, at least I think so. I signed up for their newsletter too and have gotten some really good emails with job opprotunities and helpful info about working from home.

You should all check it out :)

www.zinfeesbargains.com

A little about Hits4pay.com

I personally love hits4pay. I am going to be honest, when I saw you only get .02 cents an advertisement read, I didnt do any of them for awhile because I thought there was no way you could make money with that, BUT, I had a few people sign up under me (mostly family and friends, lol) and you make money off the advertisements that they read as well. I now have quite a team under me and I read my advertisements every day. I have received a couple of checks from them so far. Nothing substantial, but when you have bills OVERDUE and you get a small check that helps pay them, who can complain?

Plus when you register with them, you automatically get $10.00. Some of the ads you "read" are pretty good ones too, offering samples and stuff. I have gotten samples for Sunblock which came in handy being in my purse and making park pitstops that were not planned. I have also gotten samples for the Crystal Light to go packs and other things.

Hits4pay is not one of those survey sites that you have to sign up for trial offers and all of that billcrap. They literally pay you to read email advertisements from companies that pay them to advertise.


Did I mention you sign up for totally FREE and they give you $10.00 when you sign up?????
If you want to try them out, I highly recommend them and spread the word to your family and friends to build your own team!

What a great day!

Today we went to the park for almost two hours and then to the covered bridge where we found all kinds of fun stuff that blew out of the trees from the winds. Akira loves to collect that stuff and we have piles of nature on our deck, lol!
I was accepted to write articles for an ezine website and I am so excited about that!
The weather was beautiful, nice and breezy (not TOO breezy :) and the perfect temperature.

Anyways, I have another website for coupons, called couponcabin.com. You can print off coupons to your favorite retail stores like Childrens Place, OshKosh, sometimes Target and more!

I hope you checked out some of the other ones I listed like chacha.com, volition.com, or a really good one if you want to take your family out to eat on a budget, kidsmealdeals.com!

If you want more detailed info on those websites, see some earlier blogs :)

Out for now!

Feeling down and out...maybe a little bummed out :(

I feel like this month has been a hard one for some reason? I have hardly been able to connect with my best friend because I have been so busy going in circles. I feel like every day Akira gets more and more hard to control. She thinks she is so grown up it is pretty much ridiculous. I got a 3 week notice from my current employer so I am trying like crazy to find something else to do from home. The whole chimney blowing off of the house thing (that was probably the craziest)m and just everything.
I cant help but feel so overwhelmed sometimes! I love to write to vent my frustrations so that is what I am doing, lol!
I guess I am going to just keep plugging away at the affiliate marketing thing. I have found a few really good ebooks, I think I just need to sit down and focus and make it profitable.
Okay, thats all for now. Just needed to say a few things. Now off to fight about bedtime with my 16 year old, 6 year old daughter :)

Hurrican Ike in Ohio?!?!

Well, on Sunday here in central Ohio we had some crazy amazing wind! My chimney blew off of my house! Yeah, this twenty foot siding covered wooden box with metal cylinders crashed through my deck and was laying in my backyard!
It was pretty ridiculous and of course Akira (my 6 year old daughter) was only concerned about her toys being blown away. Oh, to only be 6 years old again :)
Well anyways, called Nationwide, insurance company for the house, and they say that they have taken over 500,00 claims and they have no idea when they will get out to my house so just take as many pictures as I can (already done) and have a contractor go ahead and come out to remove it and tarp the hole and the roof where half the shingles were blown off.
The contractors came out and hauled it away, amazed at how little damage the chimney did to the house when it fell. It literally fell into the house, rolled down the smaller roof section and crashed onto the deck.
Akira has been ridiculously grumpy today. I am talking about arguing with everything, even painting her firetruck (a big box that we cut holes in for her legs and WERE painting red) because she has now decided that she wants to have a fireWOMAN truck so it should be black. So we start painting one side black and she decides that she like it better red. Well guess what, red doesnt paint over black very well. So we called my brother and asked him to bring her another box so we can repaint. Oh well, maybe she will listen to mommy next time, although I doubt it. She is probably about as stubborn, if not more stubborn than me so I sense many more little arguements to come. I swear she is 6 going on 16.
I have applied to numerous blogging websites today, as well as some ghostwriting companies so wish me luck!

Signing off for the night to go do some ChaCha, lol!

kidsmeals.com

I recieved a great email for families with children!

On this website, it has all the restaurants with kids meal deals. You can search for restaurants within a certain mile radius and see the special deals they have on kids meals, whether it is kids eat for free or buy one kids meal get one free.

Thank you Chad!

What a great way to afford eating out with children!

Save a little money moms!

Okay, I found a website where you can print off really good coupons like Cereal, Yogurt, Fruit Snacks, and more and some of them are even better than you can get in the Sunday paper. Its called volition.com and it is totally free. You do not even have to register on their website. They also have a section for free smaples and stuff like that.

The other thing I wanted to mention is a company called ChaCha! They are a company where people text them questions ranging from whats the weather in a certain zip code to who won the football game and ChaCha employs human guides who find the answer online and respond via ChaCha's system. You make .10 for each response you process which does not sound like a lot but it adds up quickly. In 9 days, I am up to $145.40. It is a great way to make some extra bill money or grocery money and you can do it in your time because they are open 24/7. If you want to spend some time on ChaCha after you put the kids to bed or when you are just sitting around watching tv you can! If you go to ChaCha.com in the lower left hand corner click on become a guide and in the referral section, put christie@zinfeesbargains.com.

It is so easy and so much fun!

Have a great night!

Save money at the grocery store

It has been almost a YEAR since I posted my first blog, WOW! So much has happened and changed but it has been a wonderful year.
Gas prices are crazy high, Grocery prices are rising and I have learned how to be thriftier so that my family does not have to suffer through the rising prices in this economy.
If you do not shop at Meijer than I highly recommend that you should. I save so much money at that store on groceries and household needs, it really is quite amazing. They double coupons up to .99 and more often than not when you checkout they print you a $5.00 off $25 purchase. If you seperate your orders (like I do) than you can use your $5.00 coupon for the first order, have another printed off when you checkout your first order and use the one that is printed out for your next order. Not only that but they print some amazing in store coupons that go along with their sales.
For example, They had General Mills Cereal on sale for $1.88 a box and Gushers and Fruit Roll Ups on sale for $1.80 a box (can you tell by my groceries that I am a mom?) so I had two boxes of cereal and two boxes of fruit snacks. I also had a .55 cent off coupon for two boxes of fruit snacks that was doubled to $1.10 off and a coupon for the cereal for $1.50 off. When I did my first order to use my $5.00 coupon, I did NOT include my cereal and fruit snacks in the first order. When it printed my second $5.00 off coupon is also printed me off a coupon for $3.50 any 4 items from General Mills or Betty Crocker. So the cereal and fruit snacks were going to cost me $7.36 before coupons, after a $1.10 coupon, a $1.50 coupon and a $3.50 coupon they only cost me $1.26. Thats right, I paid $1.26 for two boxes of cereal and two boxes of fruit snacks!
I love showing off my receipts from Meijer after grocery shopping :)
