I am so glad a friend shared with me the Iowa Appliance Rebate and while I know many of you don’t live in Iowa I hope to help someone who does.  We have been really debating on getting a new dishwasher since our old one pretty much died.  Iowa is having a rebate event starting March 1, 2010 for several types of Energy Star Appliances.  You can check it out on the Iowa Appliance Rebate website.

Cryo-Cell, a cord blood bank, will be donating $25 for each new enrollee that participates during February. Cord blood, or umbilical cord blood, is blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta at the time of a infant’s birth. Previously this blood was discarded post delivery but in the past few years scientists have discovered that this blood can be used for bone marrow transplants and to fight other illnesses in the event your child gets ill. For example, in the event your child contracts a disease, which must be treated with chemotherapy or radiation, there is a probability of a negative impact on the immune system. While an autologous (self) transplant may not be appropriate for every disease, there could be a benefit in using the preserved U-Cord® stem cells to bolster and repopulate your child’s blood and immune system as a result of complications from other treatments. 

There is just a few days left in February to give hope to a child in Haiti by storing your cord blood and having Cryo-Cell donate $25 to a child in need. To enroll now all you need to do is visit the link and learn more about how you can save cord blood for your future needs.

It is time to post your linkies for giveaways again.  Sorry it is up a bit late today!

Good Morning Everyone!  I am back from Mexico but may still be scarce the next two days as there was a mishap with a fundraiser for my Boy Scout Troop while I was gone and I am trying to help finalize things.  It is just one of those things where no one was at fault but it has to be dealt with.  So off to volunteer work I go.  I hope all is going well for you my readers and I am going to be writing in my head as I made deliveries today.  I wish I had one of those voice activated tape recorders so I could talk through my posts and then transcribe them later.  That would put some use to my degree haha.  Anyway haee a great day and hopefully I can stop by with a quick post late tonight if I am still awake.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

Boost Mobile is launching the qwerty flip SANYO Incognito with an awesome $50 a month plan. It sells for only $129.99 (excluding taxes) with free shipping from SANYO Incognito.  The SANYO Incognito  SCP6760 offers a 2MP camera with VGA camcorder, music and video player, enhanced web browsing.  With all these options the most active person should have all their needs met.  The Boost Mobile $50 Monthly Unlimited plan which offers unlimited talk, text & web with no contract is the perfect plan for the SANYO Incognito.  With EVDO capabilities and a full QWERTY keyboard, friends and families can stay connected via their favorite social networking sites and share content within seconds. 

Check out how great this phone looks on Flickr.  I love the sleek design and great keyboard.  If I was in the market for a new phone this is one I would definatley consider.  It also offers so many options my basic phone I have now does not.  I would love to have web on my phone with no extra cost so that I could keep up with the world while I was out and about.  Why not check into one today for yourself.

Today was the first working day on the missions trip to Tapestries Of Life.   We headed into the orphanage this morning at 7:15 AM and were there for approximately 12 hours.  I spent my day cutting wood brackets for closet rods and sanding solid wood doors.  It was tiring work standing on concrete floors but there is a sense of joy knowing you are making a difference.  I have to head out now as devotions are about to start but hopefully I can find time to show you some pictures later.  We have nothing to complain about near home and sometimes it is hard to realize until you see something worse first hand.

We have arrived in Fabens, Texas. Today I attended church in El Paso and then went to tour the orphanage in Mexico. It is heart breaking to know the work really needs to be finished so that over 300 children can move in but it isn’t done and there is a lot of work to do yet. This project isn’t like building a house or other structure in the states. It is all being done by volunteers and donations. While the project has been a slow process the beauty of what has been accomplished really almost brings a person to tears knowing some children will have a home instead of living on the streets.

However, I am quite exhausted with possibly 2 hours of sleep last night (not steady sleep). I think I might head to bed but hopefully tomorrow I can share some pictures and let you know what tasks I will be working on during the week. Have a great night!
