Sites to help parents pick family friendly movies
After a busy day of work, prepping and eating supper, it’s nice to sit down with the family and watch a movie. This is a scenario that happens in our house on occasion.

Need cash? Blog for money.
As a family living off of one income, any additional money that comes in is useful. I recently came across a new (new to me) blog service that pays for articles you write on your blog. If you like blogging and if you like to have some extra cash in your pocket? Get paid to blog. Smorty.com connects advertisers with bloggers. When you sign up, you submit your blog URL to Smorty.com. They will review your blog and once they approve it, they begin displaying offers that you can choose to blog about or decline. If you choose to blog about a topic, Smorty.com asks that you write a blog of 150 words to 400 words, which should be fairly easy if you are use to blogging. As for the user interface, Smorty.com is simple to understand and use. If you’re looking to blog for money, take a look at Smorty.com. Why not get paid to blog!
