I have been a member of Upromise since 2002, allowing me to save money for my kids college funds and/or get cash back every time I buy groceries and shop at my favorite stores like Target, Pottery Barn, and iTunes.  Yes, iTunes is a favorite store of mine. 🙂  If you’re not already a Upromise member, jump on over and sign up today!

Upromise is celebrating its 10th Anniversary by giving away $20,000 to users who share a story that tells how a parent has supported a child’s dream! Upromise members have received more than $600 million in college savings through their rewards program, and it wants to celebrate all of the ways it has helped to fuel those sparks that made children into the people they are today and the adults they will become tomorrow.

Users can participate in the sweepstakes by submitting a story, and can vote on their favorite stories by “liking” them. Upromise will give away $1,000 to 10 winners and a grand prize winner for $10,000 will be selected from the participants as well.

So go ahead and submit your dream then ask your friends and family to vote for your dream!  You can do it!

Upromise invites you to join the movement, share your experiences and give a spark to help fuel the flame of their future dreams.

You can read my dream on Upromise here. 
My dream is that my kids live a health life.  After my daughter had a cancer scare this summer, I was reminded how quickly our lives can change.  Dreaming for a healthy life can’t hurt and what more fulfilling dream can you have for your child than for him/her to live a healthy, long life?

If you are a mom or dad and own a computer, chances are, you have thousands of precious photographs of your kids, music, and files on your computer. Would you be devastated if something happened to your computer and you lost all of those photographs and files? I know I would.  Can you imagine losing the photographs of your child’s first steps or all of your favorite music files?

I have over 22 thousand photographs on my laptop (image right) and I can’t imagine losing any of them. 

That’s why I use Carbonite to backup my photos, music and more every day. Founded in 2005, Carbonite has safely recovered over 7 billion files that otherwise might have been lost forever!
