It’s Ms. Modern, here, and I wondered if any of you could do me a favor. I do a lot of fundraising for pediatric cancer and one of “my” cancer moms would like her own webpage. I am able to pay for the domain, etc, but am TOTALLY not talented when it comes to creating site banners. I’m looking for someone who would be willing to DONATE a banner to this project. Perhaps you are an artist, or you have a friend who is. If you can help out, please …

Most of you know by now that I, Ms. Modern, enjoy doing what I can to help out children fighting cancer and their families. It’s less that I’ve adopted this “cause” and more that the children & their families have adopted me! I’ve learned over the past 4 years that even sending a sick child a card or sending a parent an email asking how their day is can tremendously help them in times of stress and strain. Kids fighting diseases are FABULOUS! They’re just like every other child. They …

Yep, you heard me right. I, Ms. Modern, am giving away a $50 Amazon e-gift card this month to 1 lucky Ms. Modern reader!

As I mentioned in a prior post, I’ll be participating in this year’s Blogathon on July 25th to raise money for Band of Parents – a charity that raises money for pediatric cancer research. In order for my charity to get more exposed and to get more donations for these AMAZING kids, I figured I’d give away one of my personal $50 Amazon gift cards to one …

Back in the day, shopping for a bank was more about location and easiness of using the ATM machine. Shopping for credit cards was more about finding the lowest APR and rolling over your high balance to a new low balance card. Although those are still concerns when shopping for a card, POINTS are a new added feature that are causing card shoppers to pause.
Points are defined in different ways across many credit or debit cards. On some cards, Points mean credits towards airfare or a % back on your …

This makes it one of the deadliest childhood cancers with a 50% relapse rate and only a 30% survival rate. Not. …
