Homeschoolers, teachers, and librarians can get a 10% discount at Half Price Books year-round! I wish I'd known about this discount before, though the prices are great anyway (being half-off or more everyday). And even better, your discount will apply to EVERYTHING you buy, even things for yourself! Just present your ID, pay stub, or official homeschooling form when you apply for a teacher discount card. It's free, but you will need to renew your card every year.

Our family was selected to provide our TV viewing information for the Nielsen Ratings over a summer sweeps week. We've done this before for radio usage, and you get paid for filling out and returning the surveys, so I was excited to do it again. Especially since I knew something they didn't that would make filling out the surveys really easy. . . We don't really watch TV.
I had an attack of conscience, so I told the guy on the phone that we rarely watch TV at our house, just in case it mattered, but he said that was fine, they needed info from all types of homes. I guess they want to know what we aren't watching, too! Yay, I can get paid for NOT watching TV!
So if you are looking for another way to save some money, consider ditching the Tivo, cable or satellite bills! You might find that you won't be missing as much as you think, and think of how much you'll be saving! And in case you're wondering, I have no idea how we were selected to fill in the Nielsen surveys. My only guess is it's because I do a lot of online surveys through a few different companies. If you are interested in doing online surveys, feel free to email me and I'll get you started!

We recently discovered some fun DVDs and I wanted to share them with you. Brum is a live-action TV series recorded in England about the adventures of a cute little car that drives by itself. The girls have really gotten a kick out of it! Each episode is short, about 10 minutes, and there are several episodes per DVD. The story lines are pretty simple and involve Brum the car saving the day, either by rescuing someone or catching a bad guy who has stolen something. The actors don't talk, but each episode is narrated by a child's voice that keeps the story moving. The episodes have a lot of humor and exaggerated characters and situations that the kids find hilarious! This series is not animated and doesn't have fancy special effects, it is just simple and funny. Adults may roll their eyes at the goofiness, but the kids love it. To be honest, I have found them quite entertaining and it's also fun to watch the kids' reactions! :-)

We've been asked many times since J was born, "Is she a good baby?" Actually, every time we have a new baby we are asked that question multiple times. You would think I would know how to answer it by now, but I don't! Every single time, it gives me pause. Sometimes I answer the question with a question, "what do you mean by 'good baby'?"
