{Hurry!} Another $30 Survey just started!!

I just checked my email, and about 5 minutes ago I had received an email from Toluna with a chance to participate in an “Interactive Survey” to earn $30 bucks cash!!

I only got through the first two qualifiers, and didn’t fit with what they were looking for.

When it asked me what items I might be purchasing in the near future, the only one’s I did NOT check were house, car, and boat, because I’m just not in the market for those any time soon at all!

So if you ARE…. Maybe you’ll qualify!!! Check your email right away, because you know these fill up fast.

And if you’re not signed up yet, but would like to learn more about Toluna, check it out:

Get rewarded for sharing your opinions in surveys and quick polls! Sign up today at Toluna!

Good luck!

See if YOU Qualify for the $30 Survey too!

Big {THANK YOU!!} to Crazy Coupon Mommy for sharing this tip with me, or I would’ve missed it!! Be sure to check out her site too, she posts tons of great deals and freebies, you’ll love her!

If you’re a Toluna member, check your email to see if you have a NEW survey offer for a {super amazing!} 90,000 points, which would equal $30 cash!!!

If you use sites like Toluna, you can earn FREE checks just like me! {the picture above shows my recent checks from Toluna, Ebates, and Inbox Dollars.}

And if you’re not a member yet, you can sign up today to get in on the next big survey!

I used to spend a TON of time on these sites, and earned a lot of money each month. Not enough to get rich, lol, but a really nice bit of extra money.

Now that I have the kids all day, and have been working on this blog and a {soon, I hope!} future Etsy shop, I don’t have as much time. But when I do have a few minutes to myself in the evening, I’ll fill out 3 or 4 surveys, from a few different sites. Then, at least a couple times a month, I have sites that I can cash out on! THat makes for a steady stream of extra bucks!

It’s definitely best to use several sites, since you will be able to earn money quicker.

Here are a few that I use and have had a good experience with:

MyView: Share your Opinions! Earn great Rewards! Join the MyView Panel. Take Surveys & earn gift cards from top brands at MyView. MyView Sign Up.
Valued Opinions: Don’t give your opinions away, get paid for them! Valued Opinions Sign Up.
Swag Bucks: Do quick polls and surveys, search the web, and more. Earn Swag Bucks! Personally, I use all of mine for $5 Amazon gift cards, and earn one every week or two. They add up really quick! Swag Bucks Sign Up.

Have a great day!!

{Moms Rock!} Mother’s Day Freebie List

Happy Mother’s Day!

This is my first real Mother’s Day, although I did celebrate last year… I was about 6 months pregnant, and could feel that little girl kicking my tummy all day, and so I really did feel like a mommy. But I am pretty excited for my first Mother’s Day spent with my daughter…

This picture is a few months old, she is MUCH bigger than this now!! But I don’t have any new pictures of us, since my camera broke a while back. As soon as I learn how to download pics from my NEW camera into my computer, I can finally have new “Mommy & Me” pictures to share.

So, in honor of Mother’s Day, here are some freebies just for moms!!

The {Moms Rock} Freebie List:

Baby to Bee is an excellent site for new moms! You can find tons of coupons and samples, as well as a really helpful community to get answers to all of your questions. I’m a big fan.

Woman Freebies is a GREAT resource of coupons and free samples that are chosen JUST for women. Sign up to get one notice each day with a roundup of new free stuff.

Zuilily offers the VERY best selection of brands and products of any of these type of deal sites. I love getting their email, and seeing the amazing stuff that they have found. This is the only way I can afford this type of designer stuff! All sales are on merchandise just for mom, babies, or kids.

Vistaprint rocks my socks, no lie. I’ve ordered SOOOO much stuff from them, and have always been really happy with the quality. These Mommy Cards are such a fun idea! You can give them to new babysitters, teachers, other parents… Anyone that you want to have your contact info. Love it.

Are you a crafty momma? If so, join me in entering to WIN this Cricut Expression 2. I want one of these sooo bad…. *fingers crossed*

Planning Family is another favorite of mine, and is a super great resource for baby coupons and freebies! Plus, their weekly emails are full of tons of great tips and ideas too. You get a new email each week with an update on your babies development. I love these.

Use coupon code YMW4CP to get 40 FREE prints at York Photo, just for you!!

And a few more:

Power Pill Extreme Energy: Get a sample of their new energy product… I know all of us momma’s could use THIS stuff, lol. Click Here.
Garnier Fructis: This one is kinda funny, and seems to give a different sample option for each person! Should get you some type of shampoo, and then after you enter “female” you may get options for more beauty products! Click Here.
Free Nail Polish: Just text the word SUMMER to shortcode 467467. You must be 18 years or older to participate. If you’ve never used ShopText before, it’ll make you answer a few questions first. They’re legit, I’ve used them before… no weird charges or anything :) Sponsored by Cosmopolitan.
Tire Gel: Get another texting freebie… FREE Meguiar’s Tire Gel Sample by doing the following: Text TIRE3 to 44567! Maybe momma wants shiny tires, right?
Free Money for Mom: Get $5 FREE when you sign up at Ebates today, and ANOTHER free $5 when you sign up and start your profile at Inbox Dollars too! Both companies I use and love.
FREE Products and Cash: My very most favorite-ist survey site is taking new members right now… If you are a busy mom with not a lot of time to devote to these survey sites, then trust me, Synovate is the one to go with! You get FREE full size products to test {lately I’ve gotten to test salad dressing, plug-in freshners, styling products and more} and then you get reward points when you give your opinion on them! Those points can then be redeemed for cash! And you earn rewards pretty fast too.

I’ll post more too, as I find them! But I wanted to get at least one big post out for you ladies right now! I hope you all have a really wonderful day, and get to enjoy your families! Happy Mother’s Day!
