Five random things about this past week.
Join the party: post your five random things on your blog and add your link below.
Well, obviously #1 in my life right now is that I am officially on SUMMER BREAK! Yesterday was my last day.
We enjoyed a luau breakfast party at a local church and a trip to a park before parents picked up and summer break began!
I gave my kids a little goodbye gift.
I found these little boxes of gum crayons at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I printed & laminated a class picture and tied them up with ribbon.
I spent my first day of summer vacation working on stationery orders. I love the extra time I have in the summer to work on my business. It frees up my nights and weekends and gives me free time that I miss so much during the school year. Here are a few things I worked on this morning.
I know I have posted about Ebates several times before.. but seriously why are you NOT using it?!??!
My husband was in the car with me when I went to the bank earlier this week and he asked what this check was about.. he didn’t buy that it was FREE money!Four times a year- I get a check simply by visiting Ebates before I shop online.

I'm not going to exaggerate one bit. My level of jealousy about you already being on summer break ... on a scale of 1-10 is about 58! :) Savor the days for the rest of us!

Soooo jealous of your already being on break! only 14 1/2 more to go! I signed up for ebates recently after reading about it on your blog and got my first little "big fat check" in the mail...it's definitely now, my go to...especially considering that my kids HATE going out shopping! Haha! Now, I can do it from home and earn a little in the process! Thanks for sharing it!

So lucky that you are done with school! I still have four more weeks to go. We're pushing through though! :)
ReplyDeleteI also use Ebates. However, I don't shop online so I don't really earn much. If only Ebates accepts ALL types of Amazon orders...then I'd be earning some serious cash. :)
