Freebies!

Recently I have come across some freebies that are just too good to pass up. Maybe you will join in on all the fun!

Swagbucks.com "is a search engine that offers you the chance to win cool prizes from swagbucks.com every time you search. We believe very strongly in rewarding our users for their loyalty." Swagbucks offers fabulous prizes such as gift cards to places such as Amazon.com, iTunes, and Starbucks! There are 100s more items to choose from, but these would be my top choices. All you have to do is register here and start searching just as you would with google or yahoo. BUT, you get free stuff for doing it at swagbucks.com.


BzzAgent is a word of mouth (WOM) media network. After answering a few short surveys about myself, the company will send me products for me to review. I have used Pledge Multipurpose Spray, Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner, Glade Sense and Spray, and The Fragrance Collection Soy Candle by Glade. They also send me TONS of coupons to buy more of the product and to give to all my friends to try it out! Let me know if you would like to join and I will send you the invite email (they don't have a direct link yet and the more people you have under you the more stuff they send you).


SheSpeaks is an online forum that was originally designed for women to connect with other women. Now it is a place for women to share their opinions about products as well as a wide range of topics. I have receive a new children's vitamin for LilE to try and I just received a one year subscription to Taste of Home magazine! Again, you will have to let me know if you want to join and I will send you the email.

Here is a recipe from Taste of Home. So easy and yummy!!

Easy Stuffed Shells

1 pkg (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
1 jar (26 oz) spaghetti sauce
36 frozen cooked Italian meatballs, 1/2 oz each, thawed
2 cups (8oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place 1/2 cup sauce in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Place a meatball in each shell; transfer to prepared dish. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

Cover and bake at 350* for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted.

My variations: I only had 15 shells on hand, so I got out 18 meatballs. I did not measure the sauce, but put a small amount to cover the bottom of my 8x8. Some of the shells got "double stuffed" for the husband. I poured a bit more sauce on top and then sprinkled with cheese. I loved not having to officially measure anything. Makes clean up that much easier!
