Mommy Dearest & Points

Last night during dinner, Sydney got up out of her chair to wander around the living room. I called her back to the table to finish her food. Her formal response caught me off-guard, "Coming Mother." I felt like Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest.

If you are not a member of MyPoints, you definitely need to join! I've been a member for several years now & every few months or so, I redeem my points for a free gift card. It's absolutely free! All you do is click on the sponsor offers that are e-mailed to your inbox. You get 5 points for each offer you click on. If you decide to take advantage of an offer, (which I've done very few times in the years I've been a member), you will be rewarded additional points. Once you earn a certain amount of points, you can cash those in for gift cards to several different stores, online sites, restaurants, etc. It really is an awesome & free program! Another advantage is you can earn points when you shop online. For instance, when you order online at Barnes & Noble, you can go through the MyPoints program to earn 10 points for every dollar you spend. You get 2 points for every dollar you spend at Toys 'R Us. And, there are numerous other online sites that give you points for visiting and/or shopping their website. Try it out... it's a great deal!
