I’m really good at saving money, but I’m very bad at budgeting and tracking our spending as a family. I’ve been researching free online budgeting tools that are safe, effective and user-friendly, and I keep hearing about Mint.com. I’ve heard so many great things about Mint, I’m jumping in to give it a try today!

Your turn: Do you use Mint.com or another online budgeting tool?

A few weeks ago, The Motherhood contacted me and asked me to be involved in a very special project: Do Good Day on July 14th. To celebrate 11 stores across the United States, 77Kids (American Eagle’s new kids store) is organizing seven mommy bloggers in each of those cities to “Do Good” for kids in their neighborhoods!

I’ve been fortunate to work with other fantastically creative  Minnesota Mommy Bloggers to brainstorm and come up with our own ideas to help empower kids to spread goodwill throughout the community. Thanks to the Science Museum of Minnesota, we’ll be setting up a great event on July 14th at the Science Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota, from 10:00 – 1:00 to help teach kids to care for and beautify our great state of Minnesota! We’ll have lots of great activities, handouts, and a few great freebies for the Science Museum visitors who stop by and see what we’re up to.

I’m also thrilled that the event organizers are truly making this a family affair, and they’re welcoming Haiden and Piper to the Do Good Day with open arms. I’m excited to do the activites with them, and have them help with the handouts and anything else I can find to occupy them! If you stop by, I’ll be the crazy mom blogger with a baby on my hip, chasing a toddler and trying to hand out coupons and crayons at the same time! Please find me and say “Hi” if you’re around! You’ll also be able to meet these other great blog owners:

If you’re not in Minnesota, there are Do Good Day events happening in 10 other cities! The Motherhood has a great “Circle” set up where you can find out more about Do Good Day! I would also love to hear about you doing something good on July 14th. It can be as simple as a random act of kindness, because the little things are what build strong community foundations. If you do something good, please leave a comment on this post or write on my Facebook wall. I’m so looking forward to hearing about your day!

This post was originally published in April 2009. I always want readers to learn about Swagbucks, the effortless way to earn Amazon gift certificates online, so here’s my original post:

Am I the last person on the internet to hear about Swagbucks? After hearing that some Mommy Bloggers had earned over $100 in Amazon gift certificates in a single month, I had to jump in and give it a try. The premise is really simple: instead of using Google, Yahoo or another search engine, search for everything with the Swagbucks search engine instead! It’s powered by Google and Ask.com, so you get legitimate results for each search. You’ll randomly win Swagbucks as you complete searches. It’s usually 1 or 2, but I have won 5 or 10 at one time on occasion! Once you earn 450 Swagbucks, you can trade them in for a $5 Amazon certificate.

Swagbucks is really quick and easy. I’ve found that I usually win within my first 1-3 minutes of searching every day. Within my first month of using this program, I’ve earned $15 to spend at Amazon.com! This is really just by “googling” for less than 5 minutes a day, but I’m planning on spending a little more time there every day to try to increase my earnings. I’m saving the gift certificates to buy one of the activity gyms on my wishlist, but they could just as easily be used for essentials like bottles, onesies, or even something bigger like a car seat or stroller.

I can’t emphasize how easy Swagbucks is to use, and how fun it is to be rewarded for something so simple! The best part is that you earn your rewards, and you can refer people to sign up under your ID. You’ll also earn Swagbucks each time they get rewarded.

If this interests you at all, sign up here! I’ll get a little bonus if you win Swagbucks, and you can see just how easy it is to earn rewards for something you already do.
