Upcoming Show

Life has been busy at the farm. Chipper and Gia had lessons this weekend. Hannah (the daughter of a boarder) hacked Pickles Sunday afternoon. On that note Pickles is up for partial or full lease if you know anyone who might be interested.

Thomas (Chipper's dad) is having a lesson this Thursday. Then Friday it's over to Mullet hall to prepare for the show over the weeknd.

Next weekend is Sea Island. Gia, Lexy, and Kaijsa will be showing in Jumpers in the morning. Chipper and I will be showing Hunters in the afternoon. We'd love to see some familiar faces. If you're coming to show drop a line to let us know, or if you're not we'd love a cheering section:)

What's Holly Up to?

Well in answer to the self-posed question Kenzie and I have had the flu this week. I've had time to do nothing but surf the internet. As some of you know I am becoming an avid coupon shopper. I have had several trips where my out of pocket has been under a dollar. I walked out of Petsmart a couple of weeks ago with 3 bags of cat food, litter and 2 bags of treats. I only spent 1.23 for all of it. I've been to CVS and gotten $70 of merchandise for mear pennies.

Well I'm on to the next step in the journey. I'm trying to sniff out the legitimate money making opportunities on the web. I have found two so far.

The first is youdata.com This one is super easy. I'm spending an average of 2-3 minutes per day on it and earning $2-$3 per day for my time. They deposit my proceeds into my paypal account every Friday. I'm not going to get rich doing this, but it definitley will add fuel to my truck, or cover an entire trip to CVS AND Petsmart if I combine it with my coupons:) I also don't think there is an age requirement, so for some of my teenagers who aren't working yet this might help out some.

The second opportunity is widespread on the internet it's called Swagbucks
Swagbucks doesn't pay out "cash", but they do have great prizes including Amazon Gift Cards which can be used for almost anything you would ever need to buy.

I have included links to each of these and will receive referral credit if you join through my links. I've checked out several of these gimmicks, and discovered these two are very easy and legitimate. Remember, you have nothing to lose by trying, but lots to gain if you like it.
