There are many ways to raise funds through ongoing fundraising programs; one of the most popular and easiest for school fund-raising groups to use is the “Box Tops for Education” program offered by the General Mills Company.

Box Tops for Education has contributed over $300 million to participating schools since the launch of the program in 1996.

The Box Tops Marketplace allows you to earn cash for your school when you shop online. Start at the Box Tops Marketplace at boxtops4education.com. Click on the link to any one of the more than 70 favorite online stores; you’ll be automatically sent to that store’s web site. Shop and check out as you normally would and a portion of your qualifying purchase is donated to your school. (more…)

Normally, doing a review for flavored water wouldn’t be something I would consider but recently there have been some changes in my life and I need water more than ever.

Again and again, I tell everyone about the medical issues I’ve been having.  Well, I just don’t have it in me to talk about them again.  What I will say is that I was put on a very strict regimen of medication that I am to take three times a day-every day- at the exact same time.

Besides having to deal with the side effects of weight gain from all the meds combined, one of the medications prescribed causes dehydration.   There’s only so much water a person can drink without getting bored, and I’m a water drinker.

Years back, when I had my first son, I decided to try Scrapbooking.  I bought every decorative sticker, border and paper I could find and paid a fortune printing out all the digital photos I took.  As my newborn got older, I had less time to scrapbook and by baby number two, I was done completely.

I hated the fact that I didn’t have the drive to create scrapbooks, because I always found them to be a wonderful gift to my parents around the holidays.

Then I found Scrapblog.
