WHOO HOOO... I signed up for this site a couple months ago but had a hard time finding any interest in it. I have a few friends that have done it and had some fun "parties" through it. In a nutshell, you test products with your friends/family by having a 'house party'. They send most of what you need including, goody bags, coupons etc. (Some party examples are "Fisher Price toddler toys", "Velvetta/Rotel", "South Beach Diet")
Anyways, I saw one for a "Keurig/Green Mountain Coffee" that I decided to sign up for. Anyways, I got an email saying I was selected to host a party and I needed to be one of the first 700 to call to claim a machine (had to pay $11.95 but got a Keurig single serve coffee machine plus 4 boxes of coffee. I can cancel the 'membership' without penalty whenever I want but think I may keep it on a quartly order.. the cups are cheaper then I can find in store and the variety is awesome). I was SOOO excited to call in and make the cut off, even though it was almost a full day after I got the email.
I just logged onto House Party to see if the "party" went live and it did and I got all signed up! If you get an email from them, it's just me... =0) I'm SO excited I can hardly stand it. If it wasn't already almost 1am and I didn't need to be up in 5 hours I'd make a cup of coffee right now.
I've been keeping myself pretty busy/entertained on
www.bzzagent.com as well. Same concept. You set up an account, answer a few surveys and wha lahh you're on your way to testing products and spreading the word.
Aside from this both kids are doing well. We had some special visitors a couple weeks ago. They came for spring break.. brought the flu with them. Needless to say, we stayed home sick and they went to the Grand Canyon without us. Not how I hoped it would go but at least we had the chance to visit! I'll post pictures soon. Both kids are growing like weeds. Nick has a full blown vocabulary now. He's been sick and a little whiney. I think I whined alot as a kid... hopefully it's not just a personality trait. We've been working on potty training for a while. Finally decided Sunday was "the day". Yesterday he did GREAT.. today, not so much. On the bright side, I'll start the day tomorrow with 6 pairs of fresh, clean undies and another day of experience under our belts!
