Evie May is 2 Months Today!!


Yikies!!! Where on earth has the time gone??  I feel like I'm in some kind of strange limbo, stuck in my house with my baby, where time doesn't even exist.  Yet somehow outside the days are flying by us at the speed of light!  My little tiny baby is growing by leaps and bounds (she's now my chunky little baby, lol)!!


Evie absolutely adores her daddy! When he leaves her sight she automatically tilts her head back as far as she can to try and find him (she's learned which direction he usually goes when he disappears), it is so sweet :)  The other day he was playing with her while she was laying on our bed and he decided to trick her by ducking down by the side of the bed.  As soon as she couldn't see him anymore she started moving her head towards the bedroom door trying to follow him out of the room!


Her favorite game right now is "Where's Evie's Nose??" and she loves eating her hands!  She recently figured out how to get them into her mouth, and she's always sucking on them!  She would rather have her hands than a pacifier.  I'm not sure if I like this idea, because suddenly she's drooling everywhere, but she's very content!

 

She's getting more and more social everyday!  I love talking to her because she makes so many different little sounds now, she's a sweetie!  I keep trying to catch her little social moments on camera, but she gets so fascinated by the camera that it doesn't work very well, haha.

Free Money... (I'm not even joking, or trying to scam you!)

 Okay, I really need to finish that last blog post (yeeeah, just remembered I didn't quite finish...), but I have so many new and important things to say, and this is one of them!

Since Evie was born, I don't have a lot of time to do much of anything... But while I'm nursing her I can generally kind of one-handedly use my laptop (makes typing this pretty difficult!).  Anyway, I've discovered a couple of sites that I really love and I just thought I would share!!  I timed myself once, and it only took me about 15 minutes to do my "routine" on both of these sites, and I'm making money (really, I'm totally not joking)!

 
 
The first one is Swagbucks.com.  On this site you just sign up for an account and then every time you do a search using their search bar, you have a chance to win "swagbucks".  I also do other things on their site to get swagbucks, like take their daily poll, watch swagbuck tv (random 2 minute videos on various topics), skip through their daily offers, use swagcodes, and I occasionally complete an offer or two that I feel I can commit to (like "liking" something on facebook, or starting a fb game).  This is all totally free (it's basically like they're paying you to look at ads), and you can redeem your swagbucks for prizes!

 
The prize I like the best is the $5 Amazon gift card.  It takes 450 swagbucks to get one, and it's awesome!  I've been a member since October, I think, and I've almost got enough points to get my 8th gift card!  I can then use my gift cards for things that I need, or I can just feel like I have a few extra dollars to spend on me!




Second site I like is the Superpoints Network.  I don't like it quite as much as Swagbucks, because I feel like there aren't as many good/easy ways to get points, but it's another way to build up my gift card supply!  On this site you need an invite to make an account, but after that you have a certain number of "clicks" for the superlucky button.  Every time you click you have a chance to win points!  When you first sign up you only have 5 clicks per day (pretty hard to get much with just that), so make sure you complete your profile to get 30 clicks.  If you invite 2 friends and get them to join you get 50 clicks, and if you invite 5+ you get 100 clicks per day.  I've heard some people have even enlisted their kids to do the clicking!  Anyway, the other way I get points with this site is with their emails.  They send an email about once a day and you just click the link and you get some points!  It costs 500 points to get a $5 Amazon gift card with Superpoints.

Like I said, it only takes me about 15 minutes to do my whole little routine, and I'm getting money out of the deal!  I think it's way cool, and I wanted to share with all my favorite people!!  If you want to try either of these sites out, feel free to use my links (I will admit I that I want you to use my links because I will also benefit that way)! And, if you want any help figuring out how to use them/get the most points, let me know!  I'd be glad to help you!!

The first link will give you 25 extra points for signing up, but it can only be used by one person and only has one day left:
