When is the last time you looked over the list of rewards cards? Here's a post for those people who are responsible with their credit and are looking for a way to maximize the rewards they can earn by using credit cards. Note: you actually have to be approved and must use the card before you can get the reward . . .
There are a few new ones out there that you might want to consider. Here's a link to a story on how to maximize your rewards.

Jude's 4-month wellness check-up
Jude had his 4-month check-up this week. Everything went fine, except for the fact that our pediatrician referred us to a neurosurgeon for Jude's positional plagiocephaly ("flat head syndrome").
It's nothing to worry about I'm sure, but from a parent's perspective it is noticeable when you look at his head from behind. If all else fails, I'm sure Jude's future siblings will get a kick out of seeing photos of him wearing a helmet!
Here are Jude's 4-month charts:
Jude's percentile rankings:
Length-to-age: 90.25% (66.68 cm / 26.25 in)
Weight-to-age: 56.24% (6.88 kg / 15.17 lbs)
Head Circumference-to-age: 76.45% (43.3 cm / 17.05 in)

Carpenter Bees (part deux)
Well, the carpenter bees are back again behind our garage. My first post about this topic was two years back when they first appeared. Here's what I found out this time around . . .
The State of Illinois Health Department, Division of Environmental Health had some great insight. They shared that the male carpenter bees, the ones that are flying around the back of my garage, can't actually sting. They put up a mean show though!
Here's another site that has some great info, including the names of a few chemicals I could get from the hardware store that have a 30-day residual effect.
The local exterminator, BeeLine, guaranteed that their chemical application would have a 90-day residual effect. I'm guessing that they're using a combination of these products.
This company said we would get 16k square foot of coverage for the liquid and 1 lb of coverage on the powder. It should last us 2-4 years! Hard to pass up . . .
