Moms Talk Network

Crafty Crow is a wonderful craft blog for children with the most unique craft ideas that I’ve ever seen anywhere. Not just for homeschooling families, this site is an inspiration to any family. The site is easy to search by category according to what type of activity you are looking for. Be forewarned though..this is [...]

I love getting magazine subscriptions as a gifts.  You know why?  Because I think of magazines as a luxury item and I rarely treat myself to little luxuries.  I know – a magazine subscription isn’t that expensive.  After so many years of forced frugality, it’s hard to let go of the old ways. If you [...]

Are you wondering what to do this Mother’s Day? Why not take mom on a quick trip to your local TCBY, The Country’s Best Yogurt. They will be giving away free cups and cones to all moms on Mother’s Day (May 10th)! TCBY Yogurt offered the same give away last year and it was such [...]

I may get in trouble for this one. Couponing is a hot topic.  I am seeing a lot of blog posts and tweets from moms who are spending a few hours every week scouring the web for coupons and plotting out their shopping trips with an eye for saving the most money possible. So if [...]

For vacations and getaways, we’ve taken the kids to the beach, camping, San Diego, Disneyland, Sedona, Yellowstone,  Zion National Park, Santa Fe, and other beautiful places.   But our family favorite spot is . . .

When I started the blog internship, I was still unpacking boxes in our new house.  I reached a point where I didn’t know what to do with all the stuff we had accumulated, so I asked The Household Helper for help.  Here are more guidelines on how to sort through clutter after a move.  Her [...]

For my Cross Blog Conversation,  I was lucky to catch Alaina Frederick,  busy wife, mom of 3, and a blogger who shared how her blog and website have evolved over time.   This is helpful info, as many of us new mom bloggers think we have to come up with a perfect focus before we even begin. E: Alaina, you’ve [...]

One of my favorite posts for this internship was one about worms!   Urbanwormgirl came up with a new kind of at-home party that turned out to be a big hit with moms.   Instead of Mary Kay or Pampered Chef,  moms talked worms, vermiculture, castings, and how much leftover food a tray of  indoor worms could consume.  Worms, [...]
