I am not your average work at home mom web designer, I am not standing on designer city and yelling “I am the greatest in the world” but I am good at what I do! So when I tell you this, it’s valuable information “NOT the now information”! I could careless about what’s popular now…I stick to what works, period. In this economy and the fact that work at home mom’s really watch there finances and even more so for those who are just starting out AFFORDABILITY is a must. I truly hate seeing some give up because their site didn’t grab the attention of readers and possible customers and certainly did not express their personality. The stagnant look of the same templates over and over are, well quite the bore and most don’t stick around. You could be anybody and if you don’t have content

There are many ways you can get more fitness into your daily routine. These tips are not to be confused with a full cardio workout as that needs to be for a minimum of 20 minutes for health benefits. But more movement is great for your muscles and joints. Some of these tips may make the family laugh for a little bit, but hey, I am personally used to my kids laughing at me But as the kids were growing up I also got them to be goofs and move around with me. Which leads me to one of the first ideas. 1. Dance around. I am the world’s worst housekeeper. I truly hate it. One thing that helps me get through it is my favorite music and dancing around the house like a goof. This one really got the kids moving and even our dog. Dancing around the house will help limber up all

Previously on my blog, Noel’s Kitchen Tips,  I wrote about school lunch ideas, so it seems fair to complete the lunch box with some simple recipes for easy desserts. Many children’s sweet tooths can be satisfied by a piece of fresh fruit, but many the great finale to lunch is a simple little treat to make their day. Because kids have different palates, I included two different types of treats. Here are a few of our favorite bar recipes that are not too sweet, quite nourishing and they transport well. For best results, store them in airtight containers in your refrigerator. Kids In The Kitchen This recipe is really good for those who keep prepared granola cereal on hand for breakfast. And it is so easy the kids can even throw it together. Simply Granola

As part of a two week assignment at 52 to Fabulous we are suppose to build a vision board as seen here in the examples they gave. Also I adore what MommaDJane has done with hers. I am in the process of making mine…of course mine with be virtual. The fact I adore graphics and well….with home schooling and other projects this is just easier for me to get done than to cut and paste to an actual board. Thus, I will create it in my graphics program, by some card stock and print it out. The concept of a vision board does appeal to me, though I haven’t made one for inspiration yet. I have however, made them…known as memory boards for both my grandfather and grandmother. They’re really the same thing…a vision of the past however. This is the visions of the future and I will be

While once “WAHM” was a happily embraced term for the woman who took a career in business working from the home, it’s seems to have lost it’s luster. In fact the normal stereotypes that where the biggest frustration coming from family and friends assuming that it “isn’t really work” or “you have time cause your at home” has faded into the distance and totally tolerable compared to what “WAHM” is starting to represent. I for one will continue to use “WAHM” because that is what I am! “Mompreneur”, while I love the ring and it fits, just isn’t me. I am a work at home mom and I am proud to say it. I do represent what a “WAHM” is supposed to be as my ethics, my work turn around and correspondence times show it! While researching, I ran across this, ‘Work at Home Moms and Their Bad
