GREAT DEALS

A couple of months ago, we mentioned a fundraiser to help Shaun’s brother in his fight against brain cancer. Since then, he has made a full recovery and is doing well. To thank you, they would like to offer everyone a free download of one of his songs on Rapidshare. Here’s the download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/123604882/04WhenITakeYourHand.mp3

The Caregivers Marketplace offers consumers valuable rebates on products such as Huggies, Goodnites, Pullups, Nature Made Vitamins, and many other items you use on a daily basis. Forms can be downloaded online or picked up at stores like Kmart and Hy-Vee and redeemed at any store of your choice!

INTERESTING SITES

Did you know that one third of American households pay on average 40 percent (4.4 cents more per kilowatt-hour) more for their electricity bills solely because they live in states without Federal regulation? Well, the Campaign for Fair Electric Rates (www.FairElectricRates.net) is committed to raising awareness of this price discrepancy between regulated and deregulated states. Stop by for more information on what you can do to make a difference.

If you would like to have a post on your blog featured in 5 Minutes Around The Blogosphere, please send us an email with the actual link to your post at features5minutesformom at gmail dot com and we’ll see if it can be arranged.

Kailani can be found at An Island Life, An Island Review, & Island Baby Boutique.

    That sounds like a blast! Is there a place to sign up or do you just start writing? What is the compensation for this?
