I've always been fascinated with laminated flooring especially those with nice teakwood grain. It always lends a touch of nature and class to the house, especially the kitchen. Currently, my kitchen has the common foot-long tiles with geomatric patterns. Due to financial constraints, we did not change the floor tiles of our kitchen when we moved in.

Recently, I chanced upon www.LaminateFlooringCo.com and had my interest in laminated flooring aroused again. Perhaps I will have a rethink whether to get the kitchen floor laminated in future. After all, the kitchen it is one of my favourite places at home!

I really love PayPerPost! Why? Well, after 6 posts, I have been informed that I will be paid in excess of USD$60.00, that's why. There good thing about PayPerPost is that you get to choose a topic which interests you and just blog away. For this site, I usually blog about food related stuffs eg., coupons for online purchases of food stuffs and organic food web site. That way, I keep the contents relevant to this site.

The blog money I earn will go towards the purchase of a dedicated domain for this web site, which hopefully, will be up and running by February 2007. Recently, PayPerPost has a new affiliate programme wherein bloggers registered with PayPerPost like me who are successful in referring bloggers to sign up with PayPerPost and who eventually earn their first income through PayPerPost will earn me USD15.00 per referral. Do remember to type my email as your referral when you register especially if you feel strongly about crediting me for convincing you about PayPerPost.

If you have not signed up with PayPerPost, you don't know what you are missing out especially if you are a regular blogger. Just click on the PayPerPost badge which appears on the right hand side column of this site and you will be taken to the registration form for PayPerPost.

Signing up is simple and fast, not to mention getting paid to blog!

Organic BabyVillage.Com is an online organic baby shop with a difference. Rather than being just a commercial site, it is also a place where parents share organic style living. This informative site gives organic product reviews, parents' choice of organic baby products, news articles on organic baby food amongst others as well as a big choice of organic baby food, resources and organic baby gifts available for purchase. The site has a nice simple layout and is easy to navigate to find the information or product you are looking for.

I find the product review quite useful and informative especially since I have 2 children at home aged 3 years old and 9 months old respectively. These reviews give me an informed choice of organic baby products which I can purchase for my children. I never even know there existed an organic baby shower or eco-baby shower before I visited organicbabyvillage.com!

Another helpful advise I got through organicbabyvillage.com was information on how to avoid toxins in mother's milk. This is especially helpful because my wife still breastfeeds our younger child and it is good to know how to keep toxins away from the breast milk.

Those who are thinking of trying out organic food will find articles like "Seven Tips for Buying Organic Food" most useful. This first and most obvious tip was - When starting out, focus on organic alternatives to the food that your family eats most. How very true! Sometimes we go scouting around the supermarket aisles looking for some organic products without a focus and without realising that if we intend to try organic food, we might as well try an organic alternative to something which we eat most often. A good example for Asian cuisine would be organic rice since rice is a staple diet! Or even vegetables. That way, we would be able to detect a difference in our health much faster than say, if we try out something which is not in our daily diet.

Online shopping is now catching on fast and many people have started purchasing items through the internet with just a click of the mouse minus the hassles of travelling and finding a car parking space. Even so, there is a greater incentive to shop using online coupons because these coupons will enable you to obtain further discounts from the prices listed by your favourite merchants.

Let me illustrate. Say, you want to buy some coffee beans from Starbucks. Just go over to CouponCHIEF.Com and click on Food & Wine Coupons. Next, click on Starbucks.Com coupons and you will be directed to special deals offered eg. Free Standard Shipping on Orders above $49.00. The best part is, the coupons are free of charge! No hidden terms at all. You can get coupons from well-known food and wine merchants like Omaha Steaks coupons, Chocolatesource coupons and Lobster Gram coupons.

Use the coupons. You have nothing to lose!

It is good to spend wisely. Sometimes, one marketing trip without proper planning can drain your wallet faster than you think. Like when you find the vegetables so fresh looking that you cannot help but want to grab a couple of bunches at one go even though you are only cooking for a weekend.

That is on home spending. Other areas of spending may need some planning as well for instance credit cards, loans and remortgages. At the ThriftyScot, you will also find advise and comparison charts for competitive bank accounts and home insurance packages for you to consider. The ThriftyScot offers daily updated financial news to keep readers informed and gives comments and opinions on events in the financial marketplace and how these affect the consumer.

Whilst ThriftyScot serves primarily the UK consumers, the tips and advise on money matters which are of universal application. One tip I appreciated was the use of the paper shredder as an anti-fraud weapon. Read about it here.

Have you heard of Wallhogs? They provide digital printing services with a difference. They specialise in big sized prints and I am talking about 2 feet going up to 7 feet tall by 2 feet wide! That's taller than me and most people anyway. The prints will be printed on a choice of removable matt wall graphic vinyl, premium glossy photobased paper or even semi-gloss fine art paper.

Payment can be made via Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and even through PayPal accounts and the prints are shipped via UPS. Safe and secure delivery right to your doorstep!

Wallhogs can even help you to remove any background junk from the picture of your choice and you can even add captions into your picture which you can then hang it on your wall. Imagine having a picture poster of your favourite food with the words "Eat me, quick!". Hmm...I might very well try that. Oh yes, the posters come with 6-colour scratch, water and fade resistant UV inks to ensure that your posters are maintenance-free. If you drool on the picture of the food, you just need to wipe it off!

Wallhogs prices start from a low USD$19.99 with the posters ready for the wall. And when I said it is ready for the wall, I mean no use of nails or screws necessary. The posters come with self-adhesive backing, which is really great for those not familiar with tools.

I am beginning to like PayPerPost (PPP). I did not realise how easy it is to earn side income through PPP until I signed up for it recently. Thanks to philin and 5xmom's recommendation, I am now, perhaps, on my way to accumulating enough money to own my very own domain. I wonder what domain name should I choose?

Anyway, PPP is now catching the world in storm and many bloggers have joined the bandwagon. Apart from this, the advertisers have also increased thus giving bloggers and website owners more articles to write about. When companies or institutions advertise on blogs, their advertisements reach a growing audience which can number in the millions considering the rate of growth of blogs. I would love it if more food companies join PPP as advertisers so that food bloggers like us can give our reviews about their products.

The other advantage of PPP is that you only blog and post about something which you feel strongly about from the list of articles made available. Unlike some other advertising programmes which you have absolutely no control over, PPP allows you to choose the topic which you want to blog or allow to be posted in your website.

Nothing beats being in control and earning money at the same time.

What are you waiting for? Sign up for PPP and if you are kind enough, do list pablopabla at gmail dot com as your referral, will ya? That will generate USD$5.00 to me! Thanks!

This is a quick digression from my usual recipes. As I have shared in my earlier posting, I have signed up with PayPerPost to see if I will get paid for sharing here in my blog. True enough, my very first post through PayPerPost has been approved and I will be paid USD$10.00 just for that one post.

It is truly that simple. All you need to do is to sign up an account at PayPerPost and wait for its approval of your blog or website. Once your site has been approved, you choose one of the topics to share in your blog or website. Write about it and voila! You will be paid for that.

I won't stop to say this but this post alone will generate a further USD$10.00 to me. This is definitely an incentive for me to keep up this blog but I know that it is through you regular visits that makes the biggest incentive for me to continue sharing my family recipes. In fact, I have one just coming right up later today.

What am I going to do with the money? I don't know yet. Perhaps sign up for a domain name for this blog? Let me have your suggestions, ya? I think this blog could do with some revamp in the presentation or perhaps layout. I welcome your feedback!

This post is paid by PPP.
