Sprint Surprise Gift on Valentine's Day

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sprint. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's been years since my husband had his mobile phone and he still doesn't want to upgrade it to a newer one. I kept teasing him that he needs to replace it but he wouldn't' for the simple reason; he said it is expensive! I really don't know what else should I do to convince him. If I tell him it would be my gift for his birthday, then he wouldn't let me buy it because he doesn't want any gift either on any occasion for the matter. But, if I surprise him with it on Valentine's Day, he wouldn't have any choice. Okay, I think that's a plan that may work, lol. I am glad that Sprint has a limited time sale right now and it is only online. I can get my husband a Nexus S™ 4G

for free when I open a new line of service or even add to my account if I already have one. When I sign up for a 2 year contact, its regular price of $540.00, I'll be able to save $400.00 plus $100.00 for a new line, it would be free! I am pretty sure that my husband can't say no to a new mobile phone anymore! How about the HTC EVO™ 3D?

I would only pay $49.00 only instead of $549.00. Huge savings I'll say, don't you think? How about waiving activation fee for new lines so the shipping would be free? Sounds great to me! Get yourself a new phone. Check the links provided here.

Mommy Moments: Girls/Mommys Day Out

Not very often I get the chance to spend time alone. I am always busy taking care of my son and husband's need at home. As a Mom, I also want to contribute with our finances, and so during my spare time, I work on the computer blogging and doing some paid posts to earn some money. On top of that, I also go to church regularly magnifying my calling as a teacher for 7-8 year old children. My life can be boring at times. Good thing I have few friends whom I can spend my 'me' time with. As always, every time we go out eat, shop, or just visit a botanical garden, I always have so much fun! Last week, we went shopping a little at the mall, had lunch and some chatting :-) which was the highlights of our girls day out. Someday, I would like to have a night out, too with them. Anyway, here are few photos taken when we went to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical garden.

Allowance for Jacob

This morning while we were eating our breakfast, Jacob was talking about the things he wants for his birthday. I can not help but smile hearing him say the lists. These are on his list: an iPhone, a pet (puppy or fish), Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, and his own set of scriptures. Who knows what else he would add to the lists before his birthday comes in July, lol. Anyway, I was thinking that it is time for him to understand money or its concept. He needs to understand that he can not get whatever he wants without working to get it. He is old enough to help in he house, and so I was thinking of giving him a job or tell him to help in the house for that is how he earns the money or allowance.


Suze Orman had great advice. She said give the child 1o cents per minute for the time he/she takes to do a task.Jacob is already 7 year old and I have decided to give him $1 a day. I will also make him a chart. If he does everything on the chart he gets paid the fully $1. For everything he doesn't do, I will deduct 10 cents. Whining and throwing temper tantrums are also deductions. I will have him do things that really help me around the house (sorting his toys, cleaning his room, emptying the dishwasher, sweeping the floor). He also put his dirty clothes on the laundry basket and sort them out according to colors. Anything that will really help me can be a chore.

What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions? Please share them with us; thank you!
