We've had a few weeks of temps being being below zero, and I hate to be out in that kind of cold. Also, my son is too young to play most board game right now. We usually sit around and play with his toy trucks or his shopping cart (he just turned 2 this month). My husband works nights and he works on Sunday, so that leaves me alone most nights and on Sunday night when I have the most time at home.

We do frozen meals or something out of a box on Sundays (not to mention tons of laundry). Enjoy your day.

]]> Comment on Mystery Shopping Info by cyndiboone http://proudapmom.today.com/2008/12/22/mystery-shopping-info/#comment-10 cyndiboone Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:23:49 +0000 http://proudapmom.today.com/2008/12/22/mystery-shopping-info/#comment-10 First of all, companies will never pay before a job is done, you must complete the job and then you will be paid. Some companies pay faster than others - for instance Trendsource pays every other week, plus for certain shops they pay weekly. I get direct deposit to my checking so I get paid super fast with them. Another company I work for pays monthly - I did a job in October and I wasn't paid until the end of November for the shop. Some companies pay via Paypal, paper check or direct deposit. I applied for many different companies to be a mystery shopper with them. Once I was accepted, I got access to view their "job boards". Basically I look at jobs that they have available in my area. I can search by the whole state, or by a certain distance, say 30 miles, that I am willing to travel for a job. Then once I narrow it down I look through the jobs available- I read descriptions of what they want me to do, and if I would like to do the job I request it. With Trendsource, once I did 5 jobs for them with good scores (they score my reports) they gave me the opportunity to schedule my own jobs (basically I don't have to wait for approval when I see a job I want, I just say I am going to do it). Other companies always have to approve you for the job that you request. I would recommend searching out the companies that I've mentioned in my blog to start with. If you are interested in more companies, keep checking back as I will be posting a large list of work at home jobs that are legit, and I have many more mystery shopping companies. There is only one place that I know of that you can search all jobs, but I have never got a job through them, and I find it much better to work directly for a company. Plus, even with a search like that, you will still need to apply with each company individually and be 'hired'. Certified is a program to teach people how to be a mystery shopper. I've never done this, as it can be expensive. I've had more than enough jobs on my own and have never needed to be certified. I find that some places say that you need to be, but I think that is to get you to spend money that you really don't need to spend. So I recommend staying away from companies that require certification and not bothering with getting the extra certification to begin with. If you have any further questions, feel free to post and I will try to answer as best I can.

I find this article of yours very interesting. In the Philippines, new-born children naturally co-sleep with their parents and so did I. It's the most wonderful thing for me and I must say you are doing an excellent job. I read somewhere that children who get lots of cuddle grow faster. You mentioned about food allergy. May I recommend the book Eat Right 4 Ur Type? It's a very interesting and informative book that tells us what to eat and what to avoid according to our blood type. It has helped me a lot. I'm sure you will benefit from it too. The book was authored by Peter J. D'Adamo. Hello Cindy, thanks for stopping by my blog. I find this article of yours very interesting.
