Image: All throughout the month of November you can earn big bonuses at Swagbucks, the rewards site where you earn points (called SB) for things you're probably doing online already, like searching, watching videos, discovering deals, and taking surveys

All throughout the month of November you can earn big bonuses at Swagbucks, the rewards site where you earn points (called SB) for things you're probably doing online already, like searching, watching videos, discovering deals, and taking surveys.

Then you take those points and exchange them for gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Target, or PayPal cash.

When you sign up through me this month, you can earn a $5 bonus! Here's how:

1. Sign up using this link

2. Earn 300 SB total before 12/1/17. You'll get a $3 (300 SB) bonus for it!

3. If you spend at least $25 through Swagbucks Shop* you'll get another $2 (200 SB) bonus on top of the cash back you'll get from shopping.

If you have some shopping to do online, just go to Swagbucks first and visit the store through them. It doesn't cost you anything extra, but you'll get SB points for every dollar you spend (on top of the bonus)!

That's it. It's super easy, and Swagbucks is for real.

I use it myself, and I've earned 345,273 SBs so far, and spent it on dog supplies, all sorts of  electronics, a 2nd hand car, a big screen TV, a gazebo for my backyard, and all sorts of products from Amazon!

*You must receive your shopping SB before January 1st

Here is a variety of rather unusual paper toys, all free for you to print out on heavy card stock and enjoy.

The toys include a hearse playset, coffin gift boxes (with occupants), a little cemetery, several unusual board games, a few dark gloomy haunted houses, several horrifying monsters, and quite a few other dark delights.

Pick out some toys, print out the pattern pages, and with a few common supplies like scissors and glue you're ready to create all these strange little curiosities. I hope you'll enjoy them all.

• THE BLEAK ESTATE - Everyone agrees that this house is haunted, but there's a lot of uncertainty regarding who exactly might be haunting the place.

• THE BAND - These three fellows grew bored with just lying around in the cemetery, so they've decided to form a band.

• THE GHOST SHIP - this ship may need a few repairs, but I'm sure the ghostly crew that remains aboard will be delighted to offer you their assistance.

• THE LIGHTHOUSE - This lighthouse is very old and said to be extremely haunted, both by the ghosts of it's former keepers and by whatever drove them insane.

• RAVENSBLIGHT MANOR - a very unusual old ruin. Much dryer and weathered than it should be on the outside, far damper and colder than it should be on the inside...

and many more!

Image: UnitedHealthcareHalloween can be scary. Ghosts, ghouls and goblins abound, but the most frightening part of Halloween might be how many calories our children bring home in their trick-or-treat bags.

The candy in an average trick-or-treat bag can contain as much as 7,000 calories* and all that candy can lead to tooth decay and a lot of extra pounds for the entire family.

Dr. Mayrene Hernandez of UnitedHealthcare has a few ideas so health-conscious parents can avoid ruining one of the most kid-friendly celebrations of the year?

 • Instead of candy, opt for healthier or non-food alternatives. Candy is fun, but healthy food can be as well. Making small oranges, popcorn balls or fruit cups with pumpkin faces drawn on them can encourage healthier eating while still getting into the Halloween spirit. Give trick-or-treaters dried fruit, fruit leathers, crackers or trail mix.

 • Trick or Toys? Or, if you want to avoid giving out candy or snack foods altogether, give small toys, stickers, temporary tattoos, pencils, Halloween erasers or glow-sticks. Kids receive plenty of candy on Halloween and will enjoy being surprised with the extras they gather while trick-or-treating.

 • Get out and exercise. Candy consumption certainly increases on and around Halloween, but so does walking. Fitbit recently analyzed its data and found the average user walked an additional 2,750 steps on Halloween. While those extra steps won't cancel out all those candy bars you ate, the added walking and exercise can help you control your weight and improve your health.

Take family walks around the neighborhood before Halloween to plan your trick-or-treating route. The additional movement can benefit the whole family.

 • Fill your little goblins' tummies with healthy food before they hit their candy stash. Eating a healthy dinner before trick-or-treating will help ensure your kids are properly fueled and less tempted to snack their way around the neighborhood. Plus, for safety you should save your candy until you get home to screen for anything potentially hazardous.

 • If you return home and your family has more candy than they should eat, search online for a local dentist or other business participating in candy-donation or buy-back programs. Call first for each location's program details.

This Halloween, have fun dressing up and eating a few treats, but balance the usual indulgence with making healthier choices.

Image: Swagbucks is hosting another round of Shopping Swago!

The holidays are close and the online rewards site Swagbucks has a smart and fun way for you to earn and save while you spend.

Swagbucks is hosting another round of Shopping Swago!

What is SWAGO you ask? It's a bingo-inspired promotion run by Swagbucks, a website that rewards you with points (called SB) for completing everyday online activities.

You can redeem those SB for free gift cards. If you've never used Swagbuck before, participating in SWAGO is a great introduction to the site and an easy way to earn a good amount of points quickly.

Click here to get started!

Here’s what you need to know to get your 25 SB Bonus (and don’t worry, you don’t have to make a purchase to complete a pattern):

   • Shop Swago will begin on Monday, October 23rd at 9am PT/12pm ET, make sure you hit Join otherwise you won't get credit for completing the action items. Each square on your Swago Board will contain an action item to complete.

   • Once you complete the action item in a particular square the square will change color signifying the action item is complete.

   • You have a limited amount of time to mark off as many squares as possible so use your time wisely.

   • Be mindful of the patterns and their corresponding bonuses located on the right of your Swago Board. The patterns will vary in difficulty and bonus value.

   • Once you've achieved a pattern the corresponding Submit button will light up. You can have multiple patterns available for submission, however, you can only submit ONE pattern so choose wisely.

   • The game ends Friday, October 27th at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT. So make sure to hit Submit on the pattern you wish to submit. If you don’t hit Submit before the game ends you won't receive your SB bonus.

Turn Toaster Sideways to Make Grilled Cheese

They are suggesting turning your toaster sideways to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

Make sure the size of the cheese slice is smaller than the bread. For safety reasons!

They say it works best with old and cheap toasters, not one of the newer models.

Would you try it? Personally I am not so sure it would be safe to use your toaster this way, but many seem to think it works well...

Image: Homemade Carpet Powder
Idea and photo from: mrshappyhomemaker.com
We have two dogs and a cat - but I don't like using chemical carpet cleaners and even the unscented ones smell too strong to me - so this is a great idea!

Homemade Carpet Powder
-- Mix baking soda and several drops orange essential oil (or any other essential oil you like) together in a bowl using a whisk.

Spoon the mixture into your shaker - an empty Parmesan container works well.

Sprinkle this on your carpets - let sit for about 15 minutes, then vacuum.

Mila Kunst shared a great article: 4 Easy Ways to Clean Your Carpet

One reader wrote: If you add a cup of borax to this mixture it will kill any bugs that may be in your carpet! (fleas, etc!)

Another said: We had luck getting rid of fleas using salt. Allow to sit in carpet overnight and for best results, treat a couple times. Seems much safer than borax!

Another said: I use nutmeg or clove ground with baking soda, and everyone can't find why my house smells so inviting and homey.

Another said: I have a Dyson vacuum and rather than using baking soda, I use cornmeal and borax and ground up dehydrated citrus zest and some essential oils.

Will you try this one? Let us know how it works for you!
