I’m thrilled that my one of a kind, specially designed necklace and earrings to benefit Feeding America is live this morning!
Starting today and through June 28th, you can purchase this gorgeous set of jewelry to help benefit Feeding America. For every necklace and earrings set purchased nearly 40 meals will be given to hungry families!
This is part of a competition, I outlined here, so the more you purchase, the bigger our donation will be. If we sell the most pieces out of the 5 sellers, Open Sky and I will double our donations! If we win 80 meals per set will be donated! Can you imagine what a huge impact we can make with this?
Remember Open Sky has a one year return policy, so if for some reason you aren’t happy with your purchase you can return it for up to a year! The jewelry designer, Neida, stands behind her work, but does caution that these pieces are made of natural materials, so please treat them gently.
So please, go, shop and help end childhood hunger! Every purchase helps!
Thanks for all your support!

Sorry for the delay in getting these totals up, I’m dealing with a viral infection which has cause some asthma symptoms. I’ve been ordered to rest as much as possible. Not easy with 4 kids, and busy schedules.
Here are my total ad sales for January.
$9.27
$11.77
$22.90 (from your comments!)
$1.05
$3.75
Total ad revenue= $48.74
Who says blogging is a good income producer? Not me. 
I did get paid as well for some work I did in December, so I am rounding up to $50, and doubling it. I have also had some offers to double my contributions, so I will be in touch with those people and update you as I hear back.
It’s not a lot, but it’s something. The reality is blogging is a lot of work for very little income when you start out, and I’m hoping as my income grow I will be able to donate more frequently to causes I care about.
A donation will be made for $100 in the name of The Centsible Life readers to the American Red Cross. Thanks all for your comments, and support this month.

As a mom, and a rather emotional person I often avoid the news, but finally spent some time reading and listening to the news from Haiti. It is so devastating to hear the stories of death, injuries, homelessness, and destruction.
My heart aches for all those that are suffering.
In light of the disaster I will be donating to disaster relief in several ways, and you can help!
All income I receive from my blog in the month of January will be donated to the disaster in Haiti. Here are some easy ways you can help me raise funds.
- Buy an ad on The Centsible Life. Send me a note via my contact form. 100% of all proceeds for the month of January will go to disaster relief.
- Click on my affiliate links. Shop via my links and 100% of January proceeds will go to disaster relief. Each link has a various % that I earn as a commission and 100% of that commission will go to disaster relief. <more links to come>
- Click on any of the links in my sidebar under ads to help raise funds.
- Go to my giveaway post and leave a comment to enter. For every comment I receive I will donate 10¢ to disaster relief. It’s already up to 157 comments.
- Bloggers can join in my Help for Haiti fund drive, please contact me. I will provide links to your site, as well featuring your content here as a thank you for supporting this very important cause.
It may seem like a small effort, but it’s what I can do from the comfort of my suburban home.
All funds will be donated to Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.
Friends who are Helping Haiti
I found OVER 100 other bloggers who are doing the same. Head over to Money Saving Mom’s site to see the 120+ (and growing!) blogs that are helping you donate funds even if you can’t afford to. Amazing. This is what blogging is all about.
Julie from Precious Personalities is skipping the sitter this weekend to spend time with her family. She’s using the proceeds to donate to disaster relief through MAZON. She’s calling it Skip the Sitter, Help Haiti. You can grab her button, and let her know you are doing the same. If we had a date night I would definitely do the same thing, but we rarely get out of the house, unfortunately.
Liz from Looking Good (for a mom), is donating in a variety of ways. She is willing to donate upwards of $250, and even better her company will match her donation! Ways you can help include becoming a fan, using her affiliate links, and signing up for email updates from her site.
Please feel free to email me if you are also hosting donations on your site.
