    Note from Anita

    Greetings faithful readers! Happy Wednesday to all of you! Hope everyone is making it through yet another winter. Warmer days are coming, I just know it! I know the kiddies around here are just dying to get outside with some warm weather which makes mommy want it even more too! In the meantime I guess it's just business as usual. Keeping very busy and waiting!

    Till next week....

    Note from Kara

    Hello everyone!
    It's a beautiful day here, much warmer than it has been lately. It's already above freezing at 9am and suppose to get warming. Looks like it will be even more difficult to keep focus on work today, so I may have to slip out for a little while with the kids.

    Enjoy this week's issue, and don't forget to see our
    advertising packages at Mom's Market and Mommy's Helper!

    Being home with my son!

    Are you successful by your standards?
    We are successful because we continue to make progress and develop new products, and find new markets for the SuperBlankie!

    10 Tips To Overcome Your Fear of Selling

    Ahh. Selling. Sometimes, this is a word that is dreaded and feared by all but the most intrepid business owners. It seems that, even though we all know we need to "sell" our products and services, many of us feel fearful or anxious about actually doing so.

    Teaching Children Throughout the Day

    Children are like sponges, constantly absorbing information. We need to remember this as we can take full advantage of this fact or we can ignore it and lose a valuable opportunity.

    Dancing Queeen

    I can't believe it. My oldest child - my only daughter - my Little Princess - is in Middle School. She has many new responsibilities now, like getting braces, changing classes, remembering her locker combination and applying deodorant more than once a week.
