Review My Post is a new program from PayPerPost to increase blog traffic for the blogger, introduce non PPP bloggers to Pay Per Post, while both get paid for doing so.

Pay Per Post, in my opinion, is a great way to earn some extra cash while doing something I love, blogging. Recently they just rolled out with a new Beta and with it came some new features, upgrades, and programs. Sign up is easy, and the earning potential can be large or small, however often you chose to blog, and how many blogs you chose to use Pay Per Post on.

Review My Post is just one of the exciting ways for bloggers to be paid… some other ways are posting, referrals, and now Review My Post where you can split your referral amount between your readers. Once you have an active blog (or more) you may take 3 posts per day per blog earning between $5-15 (more or less) per post. At the end of 30 days you will receive a cash payout sent to your PayPal account. To sign up you will need to provide your Tax ID (Social Security Number) since you will need to claim your earnings on your Federal & State Taxes. Pay Per Post provides you with the appropriate 1099 tax forms to make this easier.

This is so exciting! My “baby” is finally taking off crawling!

I often threaten to the husband (and sometimes the kids) that I will be blogging an embarrassing or funny thing they say or do.  Bobby is ALWAYS hearing me threaten to blog what he says, but usually I can’t because I like keeping my blog PG-13 rated and often what he says is rated R or NC-17.  It is still pretty funny to see his reaction; sometimes he is proud and is like “do it!  I want to know what your girlfriends say when you tell them that I ….”

Most of the time I threaten, but then forget.  Most of my blog-worthy material is when Bobby and I are laying half-asleep in bed and talking about strange things (like our Emergency Zombie Plan) and we are both deliriously sleepy.  By the time I wake up, I forget what was said and then kick myself later for not blogging it.

Blogger seems to be having some “issues” and wants to make my entire blog two inches wide. This layout is fugly, but it is more functional than the old one. When they fix themselves, I will revert back to my old look.

The issue is fixed, the layout is back to normal, but blogger is still having occasional issues.

The next blog I wanted to showcase was Suni’s blog, she has been super sweet in saying such nice things about my other blog.

She makes me feel like The Grinch, or Scrooge with all her beautiful Christmas Dishes, I don’t even have my tree decorated yet! Bah Humbug! I have never been huge on decorating, but now with an active toddler, glass ornaments are a nightmare in my opinion!!

Anyways, check out Bucket O’ Bulletz!

With our recent bout of illness, I am always on the lookout for new ways to bite the bug so to say. I was reading my friend Deb’s blog this morning, she had a pretty rough year last year, with a plethora of illness to include Shingles, Mono, and walking pneumonia to name just a few. Austin had shingles when he was 9 and I don’t wish that on my worst enemy, but to have it twice?? Yikes! My understanding of shingles is that is is caused by the varicella virus (chicken pox) and it can re-occur any time you are immuno-compromised, or stressed. Shingles is the nerve ending being attacked, and from what I understand is about the most painful skin condition one can encounter.

Anyways, this year she is being proactive and using various treatments to stave off illness this year, to include a flu vaccine, and Zicam, some nasal swabs that are supposed to lessen the time you are sick. This is a really great idea, especially if you have kids or are a single parent where you cannot afford to take time off.

You really should check out Deb’s Money Smart Moms Blog, it is packed full of smart, witty, and informative information that is useful for any mom! I also loved the post on her other blog about her son’s ‘cave’. Wow, do we have the same kids??

I am trying to widen my reader base a bit, so please, if you read and enjoy my blog… show some love and LINK TO ME!!

Much appreciated!!
