Simple Gifts From Nature

October 20, 2008 By

This article was written by Guest Blogger Robin Lemon of Pillows of Lavender.

I know many moms including myself are trying to find ways to cut back on spending these days . Gift giving
most likely is not top priority on the budget but with the holidays, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers throughout the year we can’t just stop giving nor do we want to.

my ever expanding [rosemary] universe

Giving a handmade gift from nature is not only less expensive it is treasured and much appreciated because the recipient knows it was made from your heart with items and ingredients that are healthy, natural and eco friendly. It’s a whole bunch of goodness from the giver to the receiver.

You can find quite a few of the supplies needed within your own home or ask a friend or family member if they have any; I bet they would appreciate you taking some things off their hands. Even if you must purchase some of the supplies like the herbs and essential oils they are very inexpensive and can be found at your local health food store or you can order online and a little goes a long way. If you can’t get your hands on any fabric scraps Walmart usually has $1 per yard in their clearance.

Social Networks for Moms

October 20, 2008 By

This article is Part 1 of a series and was written by Christina Lemmey, Editor of Moms Talk News and owner of Multimedia VA.

Working from home has many advantages, including no commute, no work wardrobe, and no extra childcare costs. Many work at home moms believe the juggling act between balancing work and family is well worth the savings they experience, whether they own their own businesses, telecommute, or sell direct sales products.

However, one aspect of working from home that is often forgotten about is the social aspect. How many Computer at BMI Business Lounge at London-Heathrow
times did you “stand by the water cooler” talking about the most recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy? Or did you take a 10 minute break every hour and chat with your best friend about your weekend plans? Even the most quiet employee in a traditional office has the opportunity to interact with other adults and make friends but it’s quite a bit different when working from home.

Many work at home moms (as well as stay at home moms) have gravitated toward the multitude of social networking sites that have popped up over the last few years. A social network essentially is a website where you can set up a profile page describing your interests or business and then link to other profiles or friends. Many of these are meant for business networking and some are meant for social networking. No matter which networking you’re looking for, you have many choices on the internet.

Another Day Off?? How to Work at Home With the Kids

October 13, 2008 By

This article was written by Guest Blogger Christina Lemmey of Multimedia VA.

Ellie's first day of schoolI admit it…I was one of those moms who was eagerly awaiting the school bus arrival so I wouldn’t feel so guilty about spending my daytime hours during the summer working instead of entertaining my children. Not that we didn’t have some fun-filled days and plenty of trips and travels, but the guilt was weighing pretty heavily.

So I hatched this “perfect” plan to work from the moment the school bus arrived in the morning until it came back on the return trip in the afternoon. I easily gained 7 1/2 hours of silence and no interruptions for 5 days out of the week. Certainly this was a perfect plan for growing my business and servicing my clients, right?

Well, partially right.

In nearly every month of the school calendar, my kids have at least one day off during the week. November is a doozy with Election Day off, Veteran’s Day off, 3 half days for parent teacher conferences, as well as the regular 3 days off for Thanksgiving. Plus this year we have two full weeks off for Christmas. Can you understand why I’m already getting sweaty palms at the idea of planning for all this time off?
