“It only took 6 weeks to get $300 worth of gift cards from Swagbucks…OMGoodness..what are you doing to get them so quickly! I’ve been at it for about 4 weeks and only have 70 Swagbucks total…far cry from what I’ll need to get $300 in gift cards. Any secrets? “
I figured I should just do a post so you all can take advantage of Swagbucks! The first thing that really made a difference in how many I had was telling people! I started telling all my friends and family and asking them to sign up and give it a try! I felt a little like I was trying to sell AMWAY or something but it really is easy to do! The key is to get people to sign up under you. When they receive a swag buck you get one too, up to the first 100. My husband, kids and some friends use swagbucks first, then go to google if they need more info. Just from this alone I can get 30 sometimes in a day!
For me I have found that the more I use swagbucks the more I win. If I am only using it occasionally I might get $1 here and there. If I am using it on a regular basis I start getting $2-$3 at a time. So being consistent seems to be a key.
When you first sign up you get $3 just for starting. To get your link so your friends and family can sign up under you, go to Swagbucks.com, then click the PROMOTE tad at the top. Click on Invite Friends and Earn, then click the green PROMOTE star. There will be a little guy with your referral link. Have your friends and family sign up under you and start earning!
P.S. Downloading the tool bar makes it sooooo much easier. I found that if I type in Mylitter of 6 more often than not I get a swagbuck!

First let me say that Kodak and Juice Box Jungle sponsored me to write this post. Hey, I am totally O.K. with that, it bought me 2 trips to Smoothie King this month!
They wanted me to ask, What are “The top and bottom 3 things you spend your time thinking and worrying about, or hoping for…in the role of MOM.”
Wow, where to start! The bottom three is harder to come up with as obviously they are things I really don’t think much about. If I had to guess I would say…
Bottom 3 I worry about:
#1 Are my kids loved enough? Absolutely. I don’t ever worry about it!
#2 Do they have enough toys? Absolutely. I don’t ever worry about it!
#3 Have they all laughed and smiled today? Absolutely. I don’t ever worry about it!
Top 3 I worry about: This has made me cry today…
#1 Are my kids loved enough?
#2 Will they make good choices?
#3 How can I keep them safe?
I lay awake every night and worry about those three things and about 100 other issues with my children. My husband and I are discussing this as I type and his answers were surprisingly the same as mine. That is what made me cry. I expected close to the same with a few “I worry ______ won’t make the ______ team” thrown in there. But we are really on the same page as far as what deep down we worry about. He just doesn’t wear it on his sleeve like I do 🙂
What do you spend your time worrying about?
P.S. I took the quiz on Kodak’s site and I am WAAAYYYY over spending on printer ink. Darn, I was afraid of that!
