Amazon Cash Back Shopping
Want to get cash back from Amazon shopping, but you've noticed that Amazon isn't on any of the major cash back sites? Here's a step-by-step guide to getting cash back every time you shop at Amazon!
Any questions, or if I'm missing a step, just leave a comment on this blog and I'll answer it as soon as I can!
Step 1: Click here and sign up for Squidoo (it's free!)
Step 2: Click the orange "Create a Lens" button
Step 3: On the section called "New Amazon," click Edit
Step 4a: Select "Let Amazon Pick" and fill out any search term
Step 4b: Select "Let Me Pick" and paste an Amazon product link in the box, then click Add Item. Up to 5 items can be listed.
Step 5: Scroll down to the bottom and click Save
Step 6: If you want other people to find your lens and possibly use your links, making you money, you'll need to add more modules to your Lens. Click Publish. (If you didn't add more, it will ask you if you really want to publish, click Publish Anyway.)
Step 7: Upper left-hand corner, click Dashboard. Your lens will be in the list.
Step 8: Save the link to your lens (Mine is http://www.squidoo.com/amazon-cash-back)
Step 9: Every time you shop at Amazon, start by opening your lens page and clicking on one of the items in your list. (You don't have to purchase the item you click to)
Step 10: To get paid, you'll need to specify your PayPal email address, which you can do under the Settings tab.

But There Is
But There Is
October 25, 2012
Jessica Reilly
There shouldn't be caskets so small, they can be lifted by one man.
There shouldn't be lives measured by months, days, or even hours or minutes, instead of years.
There shouldn't be sisters asking to go to the hospital, to see a baby that isn't there.
There shouldn't be babies who don't get a first birthday.
There shouldn't be gravestones with dates so close together.
There shouldn't be parents left asking "Why?"
There shouldn't be cemeteries called "Babyland."
There shouldn't be a child who didn't get to meet her baby brother because he didn't live long enough.
There shouldn't be mothers leaving the hospital with empty arms.
There shouldn't be a crib waiting for a baby who will never use it.
There shouldn't be mothers who whisper Hello and Goodbye in the same breath.
There shouldn't be a mother crying when she sees a hospital, because that's the only place her baby lived.
There shouldn't be balloon releases instead of birthday parties.
There shouldn't be memory boxes that can hold every item from a child's short life.
There shouldn't be friendships formed by the bond of children who died too soon.
There shouldn't be parents who have to decide when their baby will die.
There shouldn't be a father who tries desperately to breathe life back into his baby.
There shouldn't be grandparents saying goodbye to their grandchild.
There shouldn't be a baby sister who has to meet her big brother through pictures and stories.
There shouldn't be a list called "What not to say to a grieving parent" because
There shouldn't be a grieving parent.
There shouldn't be.
But there is.

Make Change in a Child's Life
Why Participate in Change Makers?
Eric and Kathy’s 36-Hour Radiothon features the incredible, heartwarming stories of children and families who have been cared for at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (Formerly Children's Memorial Hospital).
Get involved and support the more than 148,000 kids the hospital treats every year by becoming a Change Maker. The Make Change in a Child’s Life program turns your small change into a big impact to make a difference.
Just ask 6-year-old Jack Czapla. One day after undergoing an injection with one of the chemotherapy drugs he takes in his fight against acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), his nurse put on a plain Band-Aid® instead of the kind he usually received picturing a popular cartoon character. The nurse explained that they were out of “fun” Band-Aids®, which are typically donated to the hospital. Jack came up with the idea to have a lemonade stand to raise money to buy more fun Band-Aids®, for other kids with cancer. Read Jack’s Story.
Make Change in a Child’s Life is a fun way to teach your kids about giving back or engaging your company to make a difference. The program is simple:
- Sign up online. You can either register for a change collection bag or raise your funds through online e-mails and appeals. You can even do both!
- Collect your own spare change and ask your family, friends and co-workers for their extra pennies, nickels, dimes or quarters to help the kids and families served by Lurie Children’s.
- Turn in your change at any Fifth Third Bank location throughout the summer until September 7, and tune into the Radiothon on September 7 and 8!
