I graduated on Saturday! We took a quick trip down to Chicago to attend the commencement and celebrate. This was our first trip back to the windy city since we moved and it was exciting to be back. After the ceremony we went to <a href="http://sunwahbbq.com/" target="_blank"> Sun-Wah BBQ</a> and enjoyed a duck dinner-yum! </div>

I finally got around to checking something off my bucket list: making strawberry jam ( and since the rhubarb is tasting amazing I decided to use that too). I've wanted to try canning since last summer..and especially after I started following this <a href="http://foodinjars.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I enjoyed the process and shout out to Mom for the help!</div>

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I am working on becoming a better shopper..Here are some websites that I find useful in achieving this goal:<br />
<br />
1. Ebates helps me save a little cash on online purchases. It's free and you get a $5 bonus when you start. When you use their links and purchase something, Ebates will give you a percentage of your purchase back. My favorite links are DSW (currently 4% cash back) and Groupon (3% cash back). Sign up <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=ThbAuCd17sCQPPElbNt3oQ%3D%3D" target="_blank">Here</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I recently found this <a href="http://swagbucks.com/refer/lizsmaragdis" target="_blank">website</a>. Also free, this website allows you to accumulate points. Most people earn points by using the SwagBucks search bar as well as by taking surveys and playing games. The points can be redeemed at the "Swagbucks Store" for items like amazon gift certificates.<br />
<br />

5 things that brighten my day:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) Send a [Valentine's Day] card- I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy receiving mail. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Drawer liners-I bought a pack of lavender scented liners a few weeks ago on clearance at Filene's Basement. It motivates me to actually put my clothes away in the drawers!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) African Violets- These flowers brighten up any room. They are inexpensive and low maintenance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4) Make your bed-I have yet to master this habit but I feel better when I make the bed. My room feels cleaner and I feel less stress.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not my room in case you were wondering :)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5) Going for a walk (and preferably with Cookie)-Even when the weather stinks a walk is energizing and gives me a chance to enjoy the neighborhood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
