Easy way to sell your cell

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of uSell for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
In the current economic condition, well really every economic condition, we are all looking for ways to make a little more cash.  Well what if I told you about a site where you can sell your old cell phone?  Ok so you all know about these already BUT what about a site that compares how much each is offering and gives you the pluses and minuses of each services?  Now I have your attention.  I know I have at least 2 phones that are not being used and are literally just taking up space.  I also realize these phones are no where near being wanted by anyone for any reason other then an obsolete paperweight.  Well after checking out Cash for Your Cell Phones and Electronics  I can make $30.  Its not much but it i actually paying me to unclutter so I am happy.  It is at least half the price of a nice dinner our for the family.  Or if we are living up the the save money mentality, a stop by the super market for a good old chicken an spaghetti dinner, with dessert.  There are a few pluses of this service in general 1) you deal with real companies, less potential for being ripped off like eBay or craigslist.  2) The user interface is very good and understandable.  Give it a shot ladies and gents.

It’s summer time where did everyone go?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As you know trips to summer destinations, IE amusement parks, concerts and  zoos can be a blast to visit, but there is one nagging feat that we all have.  Everyone wants to see something different, but how do we meet up when we are all ready for snacks and bed?  Well the answer is pretty easy cell phones.  But how do tou suppose we get those cell phones without braking the bank?  That is where Tracfone comes into play.  Not only can you get a cool little smart phone with all web, email, texting and making calls, but you can get it on  a month by month basis.  Only want the phone for the summer?  go for it only get three months worth of service.  Want to get candy bar phones, for calls only.  Grab a cheapie one, a minimum plan (as small as 50 minutes and everyone stays in touch and accessible without the scary overage charges.  Take a look at what some customers have to say about Tracfone: real TracFone customers .  If you have bigger then little ones this is a great way to go, even get them more excited for vacations so they can use a cool new phone 🙂 real TracFone customers .

Live Shows Coming Up- Monkey monkey Music!



AS SEEN ON NJTV!

FAMILIES ARE INVITED TO JOIN MONKEY MONKEY MUSIC WITH MEREDITH LEVANDE

KEARNY PUBLIC LIBRARY – AUGUST 22 (NJ)

MERRICK PUBLIC LIBRARY – AUGUST 16  (Long Island)

LYNBROOK PUBLIC LIBRARY – AUGUST 17  (Long Island)



“PARENTING PICK!  With her fresh vocals, and lyrics that encourage monkey-hear, monkey-do interactivity, Meredith LeVande really gets kids moving.” – Parenting magazine

Monkey Monkey Music: The Videos is a playdate … There should be a space for it on the shelves of every home with young children and every preschool classroom.” Technorati.com

“As an educator and songwriter, Meredith developed the Monkey Monkey Music children’s program to put the interests of kids first. Her albums have won all sorts of awards and rave reviews, but it’s the little critics whose opinion really counts — and they just love her.” Babble.com


NEW YORK (July 25) ––Monkey Monkey Music with Meredith LeVande whose music videos are seen multiple time daily between PBS KIDS children’s programs on NJTV and many other public television stations across the country — plans a very special, free family show for Monday, August 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kearny Public Library, 318 Kearny Ave., Kearny, NJ.  The theme of this show will be “One World, Many Stories.”

New Jersey native Meredith LeVande says, “I’m so much looking forward to playing for families in Kearny!   We’ll have fun dancing together and singing plenty of old favorites, plus lots of songs from my CD, What Are the Odds?  Kids and their adults should be ready to ‘Jump High,’ play ‘Air Guitar,’ and ‘Shake it Loud.’  We’ll use instruments and bubbles, and I’ll perform my original book, In the Garden.  All monkeys are welcome!”

With a clear delivery that’s filled with expression and charm, Meredith LeVande brings elements of traditional children’s music to her original songs, which range from the knock-knock joke-filled, “Who’s a Knockin?” to the wordplay and animal noises in “Silly Animal Friends” to “Guess What I Am?,” a “slowing down” song that’s jam-packed with riddles.  Her “Air Guitar,”  “Shake It Loud,” and “In the Garden,” are guaranteed to get kids up and moving.

Drawing from her expertise in a variety of disciplines, Meredith Levande could well be termed a “Renaissance woman of children’s music.” She brings to her work a strong academic background, having earned a bachelor’s degree in Women’s Studies and English from the University of Rochester, a law degree from Brooklyn Law School, and a master’s degree in music from SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory. Yet to experience Meredith’s music is by no means an academic abstraction.  Her songs are joy-filled expressions of pure, childlike fun. One listening is all it takes to recognize that Meredith really loves being around children.

In Meredith LeVande’s work, this musical and emotional link to children comes through loud and clear.   From the beginning of her career, Meredith LeVande has garnered exceptional recognition.  Her debut album, 2004’s Monkey Monkey Music with Meredith LeVande, was in regular rotation on Sirius Satellite Radio for several years.  What Are the Odds?, a CD released in 2010, gained praise as “brainy and brilliant” and “pure preschool gold.”  Several music videos based on songs from Meredith’s albums have been featured on Comcast’s Kidz Bop Preschool On Demand channel, and a DVD compilation of music videos, 2010’s Monkey Monkey Music: The Videos with Meredith LeVande, garnered a NAPPA Honors Award.   And now, with her music videos airing on public television stations throughout the U.S, Meredith stands on the cusp of nationwide recognition.

Christmas in July- with Storkie!

With temperatures nearing (or over!) 100, it sure doesn’t feel like Christmas!  Don’t you just love a summer heatwave?  LOL  But lets think cool, wintery thoughts, and reflect on our favorite holiday memories for a few minutes. 
When the time comes to make fabulous Christmas Cards, I love searching through all  my photos, and finding the perfect one (or few!) to use for creating our unique photo cards.  I know you don’t HAVE to send photo cards for the holidays- but don’t the photos really just MAKE them?  I mean- yes, that polar bear/Santa Claus is very cute, but I love seeing pictures of friends and family, especially when I don’t get to see them often.  For a few friends and even relatives, I only get to see or hear from them just a few times a year, and I really look forward to photo cards during the holidays. 
Storkie.com has the cutest assortment of cards, not just for Christmas, but for just about any occasion, really.  I like to send out photo cards all the time- not just for Christmas.  I have sent Valentines, Thanksgiving, Easter, Thank Yous, you name it!  I love photo cards.  They are just the best- and really, who wouldn’t love them?  Anyone who knows you will appreciate a great card, letting them know you are thinking of them, with a great photo of your kids or family on it.  What’s not to love? 
The next time you are thinking about sending out cards, or making your holiday cards- you know where to go- try out Storkie.com!  It will be hard to choose your favorite style, so make sure you give yourself some time to browse around, and have fun  🙂  
Happy browsing!
