Shame on Me :( and some awesome sites YOU should join!!!!

Okay, I admit, I have let my blogging and, GASP!!! my menu planning, slide. But what can I say?! I am a busy mommy and I've been spending too much time with other endeavors...namely, my family. I am going to try to catch up a bit and start posting again. In the meantime, I have come across some seriously awesome sites that must be shared!!!

First: http://www.swapmamas.com
This is a site for all the thrifty mamas out there that like to keep cute clothes on their kids...and themselves!!! It's free to join and you can swap as much or as little as you like. If you decide to join, please put in my name (Michelle VanGurp) as your referral. I don't think I get anything, but it's nice for them to know where their members are coming from.

Second: http://www.alice.com/referral/CA57FD6
This is the best site I have come across for at home delivery of household goods. Now, this may not be for everyone ~ especially those of you that live very close to a store, but for us, it is an absolute GODSEND!!! I can get soooooo many items here, and the prices are less than, or equal to, the prices at Safeway and/or Wal-Mart...the best parts!!! FREE SHIPPING!!! And!!! They carry many green/organic products that are unavailable in my area. I made my first order a couple of weeks ago, and I'm hooked!!! It's also free to join and the only stipulation is that you have to order at least 6 items. However, for your first order, they let that slide and you can order any amount. Plus!!!! If you use the link above, you will receive a $10 credit once you spend $50 (and it doesn't have to be all in one order) AND!! If you sign up and get referrals yourself, you get %3 of their purchases credited to your account. Freakin' awesome!!!!!!! So, check out Alice!! Because, "Everyone needs an Alice!"

Third: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/TheFamVanGurp
This is the best site I have found that gives you points that add up to $$$$ for doing what you do anyway ~ surf the web!!! Seriously, you can earn giftcards and purchase all kinds of stuff with your "swagbucks" and there really isn't a catch. It's also free to join and they have a referral program that allows you to cash in on your friends swagbucks as well. So, click the link and become my "swagfriend"!!

Until next time, check out the sites above and join....cause it'll help me, help you!!
