Ever wondered how the Credit Card companies decide who to approve?

Introducing a cool new feature that the credit card companies will hate…

Ever wondered how credit card companies decide who to approve? Well, Credit Karma has been busy crunching billions of data points and we’ve come up with a way to help you avoid being declined for a credit card….

Introducing Approval Odds!

Tailored. Credit Karma uses key factors from your credit profile and some mind-numbing math to calculate your approval odds for over 30 of our top credit cards.
Up Front. The Approval Odds badge appears right next to Credit Karma’s credit card offers to help you understand how likely you are to be approved for that offer.
Credit Smart. Too many inquiries on your credit report can impact your credit health. Following the badges to the best offer is a good way to keep inquiries down by avoiding declined applications.

And just like the rest of Credit Karma, this is a completely free new feature. Just update your score every month and Credit Karma will instantly calculate your latest Approval Odds. Take the mystery out of getting credit, and put some power back in YOUR hands.

To get started, sign up for a totally free account at Credit Karma today:

Is it safe?

Credit Karma has been featured on shows like CNN and Good Morning America, and I use it myself. I seriously love it. People have asked me many times how to get a “real” free credit report… So many sites make you sign up for something to get it.

I used to suggest using the links to the credit places directly, since by law you can get one free copy from each, every year. But now that I’ve found Credit Karma, that’s all I will use from now on!

It is so easy to read and understand, and it’s completely safe. Read more about Credit Karma on wikipedia, on CrunchBase, or on Wisebread. And get signed up today! Knowing your credit score and having a copy of your own credit report, is such an important thing to do for your family!

Green Works: Simple Tips That Work!

Becoming a Green Momma

When I found out that I was pregnant, I started making lifestyle changes, so that I could provide the safest environment for my growing baby.

I was much more careful about what foods I ate, the air I breathed, and the products that I used. So when I started putting together the baby’s room, I knew it was important to make it “Green” too.

Green It Yourself!

You’re heard of DIY {Do it Yourself}, now you can learn to GIY {GREEN it Yourself!}I love this video, The Kids Room Tips Green It Yourself video on the Green Works Facebook page, since it gives new parents tons of great tips on how to set up a safe nursery.

Think about it, you put Mr. Yuck stickers on your cleaners, keep smokers away from baby, so why would you let chemicals around baby by using toys with BPA or paint with toxic chemicals?

My Favorite Tip

When I wanted to paint the baby’s room, I knew I wanted a No VOC Paint for the bedroom, and was surprised that none of my friends or family had even heard of that before!

Save $1 on any Green Works® product.

So, watch the video, and check out the rest of the great tips from Green Works too! You can get a $1 off coupon just for becoming a fan of their Facebook page!

{Disclosure: This post in an entry to win a Clorox® Green Works® giveaway on the Mom Bloggers Club. But all opinions are totally mine, as always!}

FREE Kids Games: Educational AND Fun!

Have you tried Kabongo yet??

This is SUCH a fun program, and my nephews love it! And I love that it’s helping the older one remember what he learned in school while he’s out on summer break, and it’s getting the little one ready for Kindergarten next year.

It’s meant for kids ages 4-7, which is darn perfect, since our boys are 4 and 7! The 4 year old struggles a bit, but really loves the challenge of it, and I feel like he is making lots of improvement. Kabongo Rocks!

The 7 year old is already a pretty advanced reader, so I’m not sure if he learns a ton of NEW stuff, but it helps reinforce what he knows.

“Free reading games for kids! GoGo Kabongo develops cognitive skills that are essential to reading. Fun, educational children’s games will build confidence and stay challenging with auto-leveling games that advance at your child’s pace. Discover three different games in each habitat, each with six levels.”

Sounds great, right? So get your little one’s signed up today, and take advantage of this FREE offer!
