This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the American Cancer Society. Like many of you, my life has been impacted by cancer in many ways. When I think about how many people I know who have had cancer it's sort of mind boggling. Many of them have beaten cancer, some of them have beaten it twice.

This is a sponsored post written for State Farm Neighborhood Assist on behalf of Mom Central.

I need your help readers. My dear friend Lianne from high school sent me a message on Facebook today, asking for me to ask you to do something very simple. Vote for The Rescue House, a non-profit, all volunteer-based organization dedicated to assisting cats through its rescue, foster and adoption activities to receive a $10,000 grant from Petco. Simple right? 10/4/2012 … [Read more...]
Last month Madame Deals Media and Gutzy Gear offered a group of select bloggers an opportunity. Buy and fill a backpack with as many school supplies as you can for $25. Gutzy Gear would even give some of their "gutzies" to decorate the backpacks. Then donate the backpack to a child in need. It sounded like a fun opportunity to me, so while we were out shopping this past weekend, I hit up … [Read more...]
