Since when did 31 equal OLD? Medications, Doctors, Stress Tests, X-rays... you've got to be kidding me!

Since I have turned thirty I have had a HUGE decline in my health. I haven't really changed much from how I was eating or moving in my twenties. I've always had to watch what I eat because I am not blessed with the genes of a toothpick. I've always tried to stay active because my family heart history stinks to high heaven. Don't get me wrong, I have never been a health nut, but I have tried to be responsible. So, with that being said, I do not think it is fair that I am falling apart at the…See More

It's not my fault, so why do I feel guilty?

This morning one of my mom's, MC, was really late arriving. I have a please call if you are going to be late policy so I don't waste money on breakfast food. She is usually pretty great about calling or texting me when she's not coming. I knew something was wrong, so I decided to text her.



"R u ok?" I got my answer pretty quickly, so I new she wasn't driving. Oprah would be happy! "No, dead battery!" Oh no! I felt so bad for her. This family is already pretty tight on cash, this is… Continue

The BAD Playdate leads to a fresh idea!

A few days after the BAD play date, my friend had our own little play date at my house. MUCH BETTER! As soon as she arrived, she apologized for the way that the four year old acted. Then, she apologized for how poorly the mothers there that day had handled their children. I told her, of course, it wasn't her fault and that she can't control the actions of others. I wanted her to know that the actions of those folks in no way changed my respect and love for her. I just wasn't interested in… Continue

The BAD play date!

About a month ago, a friend invited me to come to her house

for a play date. She is a part of a mommy group here in our area. She really

wanted me to meet the ladies and see if it was something I wanted to join. I was excited, because I do daycare out of my home and MOST mommy groups I have looked into only allow you to bring your own children. So, this…

I'm the New Bloggers Club group owner and am sending this out to all members...

I was wondering if anyone is wiling to take the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge with me?

Problogger announced this week that if we can get more than 5 people together in a blog niche (mommy blogging) to take the challenge, he will give 25% off his 31 Days to a Better Blog workbook. I was thinking of starting this challenge on July 12 and creating a Blog Frog community so we can easily discuss it each day and share our posts.

If you're interested, please reply to my discussion at the New Bloggers Club HERE.

It'll be fun! And we'll help eachother grow our blogs this summer!

Thanks for the tips. Will get to Friday follow this week.

I know what you mean about spreading yourself too thin - I am concentrating on my blog and squidoo and tend to forget about the social networking and doing articles to get traffic. Did I mention ezine articles to you before ? It's free and it really does bring traffic - you just need to write articles and then link them back to your blog. I am trying to get up to 50 lens, then I can become a GIANT squid on squidoo (more traffic) and at the same time blogging. Then I am going to write articles etc to get traffic. I have already done 30 plus articles which brought lots of traffic to my lens but again the words 'spreading yourself too thin'. Why are there not more hours in the day ?

I have done a blog post on ezine articles if you wanted to take a look, but it really is good for traffic because google loves ezine articles.

I will keep you posted with any new tips I learn on the way - please can you let me know aswell - it's good to help each other. Thanks again Jessica - I will keep checking out your blog and leaving comments every now and again. You write really well.

Hi Jessica
That's ok know what a busy life we all lead, lol. Still not figured it out properly though. Think the time difference causes a bit of a problem too for me though coming from Australia.
If you can provide any tips they would be welcome. How's squidoo going ?
I really could do with more visitors to my blog so any tips on this too that you have would be great.
