I can't believe it's only Wednesday and so much has gotten accomplished this week! This has been a very exciting week for Kara and I both and we are just dying to share it with all of you! First of all I've been busy helping promote Kara's new Direct Sales Personal Sites and I must say how truely honored I've been to help with this project. She's really outdone herself this time and has come up with an excellent tool for those in Direct Sales. I've also been hard at work on Mommy's Helper's upcoming Online Community! Stay tuned for next week for the Grand Opening. I'll be hosting a "Post the Most" contest and am looking for sponsors. If you're interested sponsoring, please see "Other Announcements" below.
Hello everyone!
As Anita already mentioned, we've been so excited to share our new project with everyone - Personal Websites for Direct Sales Reps. Also, we just finished an ebook for those that are the "do it yourself" type, and would like to start a website but don't know where to start. The title of the ebook is The Step By Step Guide To Starting Your First Website. As the title says, it's a complete step by step that starts at the very beginning. An affiliate program is available, for information visit: www.momsmarketonline.com/ebook-affiliate.html
Children and their ages: Randy 16, Zach 15, Chris 13, Samantha 10
Started Business: July 2003
Products: 'Links For Moms' is a new website which offers
internet resources for every aspect in a mothers'
life. For instance, career and business, health,
relationships, parenting, and house and home.
The website is broke into these categories which
offers weekly articles, and numerous website links
and banners.
'Links For Moms' brings the internet to you. We do
the searching for new and unique links and add them
to each category if they fit the criteria.
Why you chose this business : Obviously, people use the internet to search for information. Being a mother myself, I hardly had
the time to search for whatever it was I was looking
for. Talking to other moms, they too felt the same
way. So, I decided to start a website that would give
moms a 'one-stop' site where they could cut down
their time of searching.
The categories that are popular with mothers are
the ones that I decided to work into the site as a
start. Ofcourse, the site isn't hyped up with
graphics galore because it makes for faster loading on even the oldest of computers.
Being a new site, it's going rather well and I intend
to improve it very shortly.
Hardest part of business : The hardest part is finding informative articles for the categories of the site. I find alot of personal
stories, but most of them do not hold much actual
data-they are more of an opinionated form.
Best part of business: All of it! When I look at a new site or article that I intend to add to "Links For Moms' it gives
me a warm feeling when I know it can be utilized
to help out another mom.
Are you successful by your standards? So far, yes, because I know my market. I am part of the statistics
Biggest support : My husband. He has gone out of his way to help
me build it inch by inch. This year, he wants to
help me make it a dot.com site by financing it. He
hates that the site is done on a 'free site.'
Anything you would do different? Nothing yet. As 'Links For Moms' is so new at this
time, it's hard to say. And if I have made any
mistakes that are noticable then that only justifies
to the visitors that their is an actual human behind
'Links For Moms.'

*A great way to clean your microwave is to add water to a microwave-safe bowl, heat it in the microwave until it boils, then let the steam loosen up all the stuck on splatters! But you can ALSO go one step further! Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda per 8 oz (1 cup) of the water! It helps the steaming process, PLUS it cuts right through grease, AND deodorizes the whole microwave! Just remove the bowl, and wipe clean with paper towels after about 2 minutes of steaming! (Be careful when removing the bowl from the microwave; it may be very hot on the outside!)
1 cup hot water
2 Tbs margarine
2 cups dry stuffing (any flavor)
1/2 to 1 pound ground beef
1 (8 oz) can red kidney beans, drained
1 (8 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
---garnish items after done cooking---
sour cream
black olives
bell pepper
taco sauce/picante sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook meat, drain.
Add beans, tomatoes, and spices.
Cook 2-3 minutes.
Combine water and margarine. Add stuffing stir until moist. Spoon 1/2 mixture into 8 inch square baking dish.
Spoon meat mixture over stuffing in dish.
Sprinkle with half cheese
Top with remaining stuffing and sprinkle with rest of cheese
