Sunoco: The FREE Fuel 5000 Online Decal Hunt

August 21, 2014 by Tracy

Though I don’t have an affiliate relationship with Sunoco, I am a customer and receive periodic e-mails from a loyal reader about Sunoco offers and deals.

If you have seen the Sunoco decal on my right sidebar, you might wonder why it is there. Well, this summer Sunoco is hosting the FREE Fuel 5000 Online Decal Hunt.

Since I have posted about Sunoco offers in the past, a Sunoco Representative sent me an invitation to participate. As I would love for one of my readers to win a prize from this promotion, I gladly registered and posted the decal to my sidebar.

Combining our Fuelperks! along with the savings at our Sunoco station, we are able to stretch our dollars at the pump. Though I have not been grocery shopping at Bi-Lo in quite some time, I still have this money-saving strategy in my arsenal.

If you want to post the Sunoco logo to your Facebook, Twitter, or blog, then feel free to click on the decal for more information. I will keep the decal up throughout the promotion which ends on August 31, 2014. Happy decal posting!

Comment: Please let me know if you win a prize. Good luck!

Happy 3rd Blogiversary, Using Time Wisely!

Look who’s turning 3 today! My husband jokingly refers to Using Time Wisely as my fourth child. In some ways, he is correct. In other ways, I do abandon the blog when life happens, and I never would abandon a child.

Gratefulness doesn’t seem to fully express how much I appreciate each and every reader. I am so honored you would use your time to subscribe by e-mail, follow on Facebook, and visit the website.

You amaze me with your consistent reading.

I am still very much learning how to blog. Having spent some time in the past week updating the Using Time Wisely sidebar, I have come a long way. I am thrilled with the progress made, but I have much I still want to do.

The site in general needs updating, and I would love to roll out a new look this year. With the program purchased, I might have to build the site back up from the ground. I am still in the research phase which is why the design has not changed.

On this third blogiversary, I am making some noise and celebrating you! Thank you for being part of the Using Time Wisely community. I appreciate the accountability provided within our community as we journey on to using time wisely. Happy celebrating!

Happy 3^rd Blogiversary, Using Time Wisely!

It’s official; Using Time Wisely turned 2 today. Yip, Yip, Hooray!

Though I have posted almost every day and my writing has improved, I still feel like there is so much that I do not know about blogging (i.e., social media, blog design, etc.).

In this journey, I have met some fantastic bloggers, who encourage and share their expertise. During those rough patches when life consumes me, you, my readers, consistently visit the site and patiently wait for my return.

On this day of celebration, I want to thank you. Since giveaways are not my strong point, I decided to give you a free printable. 🙂 Spilling over from my 2012 goals, I am continuing to drink my water and exercise more consistently in 2013. You can join me as I update daily on Facebook.

Needing a visual helper, I created a Water and Exercise Log which I post on my refrigerator. (You may have noticed it with my menu planner.) Finding this resource helpful, I gift it to you.

To download, you may click on the image or on the link in orange below the image. Realizing that the monthly version may not work for everyone, I have included a 2-week, 3-week, and monthly printable Water and Exercise Log as we celebrate Using Time Wisely’s 2^nd Blogiversary.

3-Week Water and Exercise Log

2-Week Water and Exercise Log

Free Printable Two-week Water and Exercise Logs Download (Designed to cut the page in half for a small binder.)

Enjoy your free download(s) on this special blogiversary day.

To share these resources with others, please forward the link to this post rather than sending the files directly. Thank you for protecting Using Time Wisely’s copyright.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to Using Time Wisely. This blog would not have sustained 2 years without your readership and support. I appreciate you and value your time. Today’s celebration is for us all.

Happy 2^nd Blogiversary, Using Time Wisely!

Heads Up: Update, Series Recap, and 2012’s Top 10 List Weeks

December 5, 2012 by Tracy

Wrapping up with update, series recap, and 2012's top 10 list

In winding down 2012, I have chosen to close this chapter by wrapping up and reporting the results of series and topics covered this year.

Beginning on Sunday, I will start an update week, followed by a series recap week, and finishing the year with 2012’s top 10 list on Using Time Wisely.

Update Week

Throughout the year, I share topics and projects with which I am trying or working. As I finish 2012, I have chosen one topic per day for a follow-up post. These updates start on Sunday, December 9 and conclude on Saturday, December 15.

Series Recap Week

In writing numerous series during the year, I plan to post a recap of each series for each category throughout the week of Sunday, December 16 – 22.

2012’s Top 10 List

Similar to 2011’s Top 10 List, I will rely on Google Analytics’ calculations for the most popular posts this year.

In using time wisely to wrap up 2012, I hope these posts will prove beneficial to you. I am looking forward to the series recap week as I would love to have one post with all the series listed by category for the year.

As you bring 2012 to a close, finish strong while using time wisely. Happy finishing!

Question: How are you wrapping up 2012?
