Extra Cash...Rylie's Certificate..Moneygram.. etc.

I am sure that most of you guys received junk mails in your email's inbox. Now my questions is do you get paid for it? I bet most of you just delete it right away because it is annoying to receive many of those everyday. The thing is you can get some thing out of those email ads. Turn those junks into cash by signing up to websites like inboxdollars.com or sendearnings.com. It isn't much but it does help in having a little extra cushion to your budget.

All you have to do is read their email ads and you will get pai for it. If you like shopping, you can shop through them and then you get percentage back of what you spend.There are lots of ways to earn extra cash online, you just have to look for it. I received my check from the two above mentioned website today and I deposited it to our savings account.
We also received Rylie's winning smile certificate from PinoySmile.com. Thanks Christine and thanks again to all of you who voted for my daughter on the said contest last October. We received the cash token last year and put it in her savings account.
I totally miscalculate our expenses last month. I overlooked my due dates over in the Philippines such as my SSS and pagibig contribution, my sister's tuition fee and board and lodging payments, and my mother's needs. Wahhh, it is so hard to budget. Good thing we have a little save in our savings at the bank so we withdrew and send it.

We tried xoom.com but its services is not available in our state, so we tried sending it through luckymoney.com. It went though but then we learned that it will take a week before the recipient could get the money and they were asking us so many requirements that disappoints us so we cancelled the transaction. The problem was, it took two weeks before the money was refunded. Gosh, I was like in a panic. Finally, we sent it though Moneygram in Walmart and it was cheaper and quicker.

We used to send through western union but then the fee is sky rocket high so we decided to just change although I have points to redeem at western union as a gold card member. Oh brother, it is hard when you have lots of responsibility but what can you do but pray always that everything will be just fine.

Problem Solved

This is an update of my rant about the frustration I had on the rejected post I was receiving on my paid ads in here. I would like to thank Annie for solving this dilemma for me. At least now, I won't have to fear on checking my account in InPostLinks and would gladly take some tasks again. Thanks also to those who participated on this discussion. I hope that this time, our posts will be manually reviewed by the reviewers not just auto-reject it. Thanks again Annie.

Solution:
Hi there!



Thanks so much for reaching out to us! We would like to apologize for any confusion this rejection may have caused you. We have gone ahead and manually approved the post for you. Rest assured, we have had a discussion with our review team and gone over the proper procedures for rejecting posts. It seems that some of our reviewers were confused, and were considering entires made to blog catalog sites as separate articles. Therefore, they were rejecting posts for copied content when the posts were not actually copied. As we have explained once again not to do this, you shouldn't have this problem again.



We truly appreciate your patience and understanding about this situation. Please do let us know if you experience any kind of rejection like this in the future.



Thank you,

Brain Injury

My husband is a medically inclined person, which explains why he pursued a degree a nuclear medicine for his follow-on career after retirement from the military. The thing that I enjoy most about his course major is that he shares a great deal of his knowledge with me. I think it will be nice having a medical professional around the house, especially when the kids fall and get hurt because he will be better able to assess their injuries.

Every time our kids get hurt or fall, he immediately checks them for signs of a concussion. He said that brain injury is one of the worst possible things that can happen to a human being due the affects it has on the body and the high level of expertise that is often required to correct it.

John's brother passed away a few years ago as a result of a brain injury. While navigating the stairs one night, he fell and struck his head. His injury caused internal bleeding which caused swelling on the brain which led to his death. The scary thing about brain injuries is that often times they go undetected until it is too late.

According to the Brain Injury Association of West Virginia, our state has approximately 700 deaths each year as a result of traumatic brain injury. Most of these deaths occur at the time of the injury or within two hours of hospitalization. Those which are fortunate enough to survive will most likely suffer from long term disabilities.

I feel that through proper awareness and training, organizations like this will be able to reduce these numbers over time and provide immediate assistant to families that are affected by this type of tragedy.

The Language of Love

How come as soon as February kicks in, everybody seems to feel that love is surrounding them? It seems that the aura of people that surrounds us are expressing their love for someone or feel so loved. Even our four year old little princess has been busy preparing valentine's card for her friends, aunts, cousins, her Pap, and for us. She drew this one last week and said that if ever people will turn into some other type of living things, the three of us will be butterflies. Each butterfly represent me, her and her brother.
She used recycled materials such as her Dad's used printed material and the empty box of chocolates. The only thing we bought is the red paper which I help cutting into hearts.
The theme for this week at Mommy Moments is Love language. Some people say that it doesn't matter if you say "I love you" or not as long as you show it in your actions. I agree in some sort but for me, expressing your love in words sill makes a difference.
The love that we have for our kids can be expressed in many ways and in different occasions or scenarios. It is important that we let them feel and know how much we love and care for them. Love and affection cannot be filled by material things but with TLC from your heart.
Okidoci folks, I gotta go to bed now because we have a dental appointment tomorrow. Thank you for taking time to visit my entry, I'll be visiting you tomorrow afternoon.

Life of a Rose

Before going back here in the mainland, we've visited the lake that we love to go for a walk every weekend. I took a lot of photos and just saved them in my archive. I will be showing them to you this month. Isn't the life of Rose wonderful? From buds to .. (I don't know how you call it when all the petals fall off already).. is still beautiful.
Have a great and blessed Sunday everyone.

Help Save the Children in Haiti

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Cryo-Cell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

The international cry for help, from a devastated Haiti, has been answered by people from all around the globe. The kind hearts of many have provided for search and rescue missions as well as immediate relief to those suffering. Although this aid was swift to arrive in Haiti, the level of catastrophe has barely been dealt with and the long-term needs of the sick, wounded, homeless, and orphaned requires continued and larger-scale support. These people really need your help and Cryo-Cell International can help you to help this cause while, at the same time, providing for your own children in the future.

During the month of February, Cryo-Cell International will donate $25 to the "Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund" for each enrollment, from people like you that wish to safeguard the future of their family. If you enroll now, not only will you be taking advantage of a cutting-edge medical breakthrough, but you'll also be providing much needed help to the people of Haiti.

Scientists, in recent years, discovered that umbilical cord blood was a rich source of stem cells that could be used to treat an individual in later years with blood that would be a perfect match. Something as simple as saving your child's umbilical cord blood after delivery could someday save your child's life. This type of discovery is absolutely amazing and I feel that every parent would benefit from researching the possibilities of this procedure.

The Importance of Being a Good Father

I am so glad and thankful that my husband sets a good example to our kids. He is avery good role model to them. Its true that however you raise your kids will reflect on their personality when they grow up. Below is an article I received from the Children's Health and parenting issues of qualityhealth.com's newsletter that discusses on how a father's role can change the life of a child. So to Dads out there, this article is for you.

Attention fathers. It's no surprise that being present for your children is essential to their well being, but your role in their lives is even more critical than you may have thought.

Asian Bloom

My daughter had an accident in the kitchen the other night. She accidentally dropped one of our plates in the kitchen floor and it got tore up into pieces. My husband was shocked that it got broke because it was one of best quality of dishes that we had. I think the impact of how it dropped on the floor made it break. I told my daughter to be careful next time. She is very independent that she wants to do everything on her own. Geez, independence is not advantageous sometimes I guess.
Ultra Style Dinnerware
But anyhow, speaking of dinner ware, I've found these gorgeous collection of Corelle Dinnerware sets at their website and fall in love with the set on the picture above. It is an Asian Bloom from Corelle Ultra and I love its style and design. Corelle is one of my favorite brands when it comes to dinnerwares because the quality is really good. If you will see our china cabinet, that is mostly the product that you will see, from Corelle. What I like about it is that they have different style like Livingware, Vive, Impression, Squares, Lifestyle, Ultra, and Hearthstone. I bet you would love their designs too, so if you are interested, visit the link.
