Check these out

Here are a few websites that I think are worth checking out:

http://www.helpingsean.com

My youngest sister Amanda asked me to pass this along. Sean is the brother of one of her friends. You can read all about his story on the website. Please sign the petition.

www.pandora.com

This is my favorite new website! Melissa told me about it and I've enjoyed it ever since. Just enter one of you favorite artists and it will create a radio station filled with other artists who have a similar sound or style. I love it!

www.catalogchoice.org

I use this one all the time. If your mailbox is anything like mine, you get all kinds of junk mail that you don't want, including catalogs that you never order from. You can opt out of almost any catalog from this site.

www.half.com

We used to have a huge stack of old college textbooks in our closet that I was just going to throw away (or recycle). Then a friend told me about half.com. I've been able to sell almost all of the books and I've made a couple hundred dollars in the process! You can also buy and sell old dvd's and cd's. I always check it out before buying something new... because sometimes you can find it so much cheaper used! I buy kids music cd's for Chase all the time at only 75 cents each (plus maybe 2 or 3 dollars shipping... still cheaper than a new $10 cd)!

p.s.- Please bear with me as I'm playing around with my blog layout! I'm not very good at computer stuff and I'm trying new things... never a good combination! The guy in the picture above is Eric when we were in the alps a few years ago.
