I just wanted to lend my voice to a movement that is going on today throughout the blogosphere. A group of cuban bloggers from within and outside the island are crying out for freedom today. I support them and wish them continued fortitude in their daily struggle.I was lucky enough to be born this country, my grandparents left Cuba once they realized Castro was nothing but a lying, murderous, scoundrel. Many of these young bloggers have not been so lucky, they have had to remain on the island... Read Full Story
I've been a member of Moola.com for awhile now and while I don't use it every day it's always a fun little website to visit. You can play games on this site and make some cash while your at it. The concept is simple, you don't put in any money yourself they give you all the cash, it's your job to build on it or lose it all. But don't worry, once you reach zero they give you more cash. The games are pretty simple but they are a bit challenging. Just yesterday, however, I logged on and saw that... Read Full Story
So I decided to make cupcakes today. Thought it would be cheaper than buying them. Boy was I wrong! Turns out there was a 99 cent cupcake sale at Fresh Market so I nixed the baking! lol! So much for me trying to be Betty Crocker :) Read Full Story

Anyone out there have some experience? Did you ever go on a blind date and actually have fun? Desperately need some advice! Read Full Story
So I just signed up for mobile blogging. Have any of you tried this yet? Does it work ok? I'm not quite sure what I'll blog about on the road, but I'm sure some bit of randomness is bound to tickle my fancy at some given point. Anywho, thanks to all my recent followers, I promise I'll keep reading everyone's blogs and I'll have some cool new posts up in the next week. Ta-ta for now! Read Full Story
Scored some fun freebies at the mall yesterday. Coach sent me an e-mail for a free gift if I came into the store, so I did. I got a cute pack of pencils, and they even gave a bag and catalogue. Next I was off to JcPenney for my free ten day sample of Bare Minerals Foundation and Buki Brush. Also got this offer through signing up for their e-mail alerts. Guess it pays! OK, so if all that wasn't enough, I checked out Dealicious Mom's blog and found a cool seventeen magazine promotion going on a... Read Full Story

A question we've all asked ourselves is can we really make money from our blogs? Well, my short answer is yes and no. We've all seen them, the make money sites that promise to make us $1000's from just blogging. Yeah, my advice is to avoid those like the plague. Rule number 1 is to never pay for anything! There are plenty of free ways to monetize your blog. Only use the free ones! If they don't work out you just dump them and move on, no money lost. My blog is currently only netting about $10...
