Surprises in the mail--

For the last few months we have been receiving lots of neat things in the mail. Since I started signing up for free samples and filling out surveys, it is fun to go to the mail box.

"Mom, you got something in the mail, again." It is a phrase that has been spoken a few times a week recently.

I got the diaper samples for my niece. Shampoo, dishwasher soap and lemon packets came in a box a few weeks ago. I also have received lots of "woman's" items.

We fill out marketing surveys about new items. Sometimes we get to try out those items. However, we are sworn to secrecy as to what those items are. I guess until we see them on a shelf at the store. We have even gotten paid to take those surveys.

But the icing on the cake happened this week. The UPS man came to deliver a package. It was a small package addressed to me. Hmmm what is it? I don't remember ordering anything.


Whoo hoo!! I won a $50.00 American Express gift card. I was trying for a new refrigerator. Oh well, I am still happy with my money.


Anything exciting in your mail box recently?
