Find Your Social Networking Niche
December 2, 2008 By
Social networking is a huge phenomenon that became well-known with the popularity of My Space. Once known as a means for teenagers to connect and communicate with other teens, social networking has become popular with numerous people who belong to various niches, or groups.
Some social media websites have a wide variety of people who participate, such as Twitter. On Twitter you can find family and friends as well as famous celebs, mommy bloggers, or internet marketing gurus. The same holds true for Facebook and LinkedIn, although they tend to be more business-oriented.
However, even smaller groups of people from remote corners of the earth or who share a passionate interest in a unique hobby have social networking groups available to them. Here is a small sampling of some niche social networking sites that I found doing a recent Google search.

No, not Martha Stewart.
Just my mom, Queen Martha. Who could probably give Martha Stewart some serious competition!
My mom – who somehow managed to maintain a spotless house, make 8 or 10 kinds of cookies, 12-13 kinds of candy, 75 or more Christmas cards addressed & mailed (including a family newsletter of course), decorated tins & plates for gift giving, Secret Sister gifts, Christmas plays and musicals for herself and her three kids without skipping a beat.

Find at least one night a week where all of you can get together and do something fun as a family. If you’re new to the family night thing and don’t know what to do; here are some ideas to help you get started (and there are more in my instantly downloadable guide, Real Life Guidance to Finding More Family Time):

Turn Any Activity Into Family Time
November 24, 2008 By
With our busy life styles, finding family time can be hard. Most homes these days are two income homes. Kids are booked with activities from school to church to sports. The older the children are, the harder it seems to schedule family time with everyone in one place.
Family time is an important bonding time. It helps parents stay in touch with what is going on in their kid’s lives. It helps the children bond with each other and their parents. It is a significant element in families that is often pushed off to another time.
What qualifies as family time is up to your family (and I have plenty of tips for you in my Finding More Family Time guide). Not every family can enjoy a trip to Disney or fancy resort. While these are great getaways for the family, they are not the only way to enjoy time with your family. Look for opportunities for everyday family times.
