I have found a new (to me) interested blog.  It is called Mommy Momments 
Mommy Moment

It has all kinds of topics that range from house renovations, to give-a-aways to reviews. I haven't had a chance to read everything yet, but there are quite a few entries that are on my must read list. Some of these are "Wrapped in love - Another Fun Lovable Lunch" and "The coolest dragon cake". That last one might seem a bit odd to want to read, but my kids are so into pictures of cakes so they can pick the cake that they want their Aunt to make them for their birthdays. They are always on the hunt for new ideas! If you decide to check out the website, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I have signed up for a new website recently.  I have been a member for about a month, but i am only starting to learn about it and actually earning "perks".  The website is Klout (http://klout.com/#/dashboard).  You get your rating up by using twitter, facebook, Google+ and other social media outlets.  They have perks that you can join and then they send you the product for those perks.  For the short time I have actually started to understand the program, i have earned 2 perks!  One for Dove Bodywash and another for Neutrogena.  I am in Canada, so these programs seem to be limited, but I am thrilled that they do seem to always have something for Canadians.  There are a lot of perks available if you are in the United States, and there are others for certain states.  It can be difficult to keep your "klout" score up, but it is doable.  I have started to use twitter now, and am having a lot of fun with it, and "meeting" new people while tweeting.

If you decide to join Klout, and have any questions, just post a comment and I will see what I can do to get an answer!  It does take a bit of work to get that klout score up, but it can happen.  You can also give "K" to someone to help increase their chances of getting into a perk, so if you join, I have no problems giving people "K" to help, so let me know your username so I can help!

I know it has been a while since have made a post, and I apologize!  Things have been busy lately with Easter, work, and trying to get some running in (trying to do a 5K in September and need to train).

Just wanted to pop in real quick and give a few quick links, reviews etc...  This is going to be a combination post of many things.

First I just want to say I saw MiO liquid water flavouring in my local Walmart yesterday so I had to buy it to try.  I love flavoured water, but I find when I buy it in store (pre-flavoured), it is just too sweet for me.  I LOVE water, but sometimes I like a hint of flavour, nothing over-powering.  I decided to try this because it comes in a bottle so I can don't have to worry about it spilling when I only use a little bit (like the single packs of Crystal Light, etc...).  When I got it home, I was nervous when I read the direction because it said to put 'One quick squirt in 250ML).  Well to me, one quick squirt can be different depending how much pressure you put on it.  I did "one quick squirt" in a water bottle (not sure the size), and it was not over-powering at all!  It had a hint of flavouring!  I purchased the Berry Pomegranate flavour, but they do have several others.  I found it a bit expensive as it was $3.77 for one bottle that has 24 servings, but after I tried it, I would buy it again!
I know I have mentioned Superpoints and Swagbucks several times, but I just wanted to quickly mention them again!  This is a great oportunity to earn points and cash them in for rewards (cash, Gift Cards, etc....).  You can earn the points slowly, or quickly, however you chose.  I do not earn the points very quickly as I will not sign up for offers or download things to my computer, but I have already received enough to cash in for a couple rewards from each site!  I am saving the cash up for Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, going towards vacations, etc...  Whatever I feel I want to spend money on.  Even some extra mad money for myself!  Superpoints is by invitation only, so feel free to use my link!  I would greatly appreciate it!

Here is my Superpoints link:  http://superpoints.com/refer/dmarley
Here is my Swagbucks link:  http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/aurora04

You can earn bonus points with Swagbucks quite easily.  They have an hourly contest where they randomly post one users name and they have won 1000SB.  You just have to click the link if it is your name.  They also have various "events" going on that if you reach the daily goal, you get bonus points.  This is quite easy to achieve if you put a little bit of time into it.

Have a great day!
