    Note from Anita

    Hello, Hello faithful readers! Spring is coming...right?!? I've been so busy around here I probably wouldn't even notice if it had changed! But, as I always say, busy is good! I couldn't be any happier about how well the opening of Mommy's Helper's Online Community has been going. There's quite a close race going on for the "Post The Most" winner. If you haven't stopped by yet, please do so! I think you'll be glad you did.

    Till next week...

    Note from Kara

    Hello!

    Hope all of you have been enjoying the nice weather - it's been holding steady in the 50s here, so I'm hopeful that we are completely done with winter. ;)

    If you didn't see our advertising packages and other new advertising options, you can see them at both Mom's Market and Mommy's Helper. Please feel free to contact us for special packages so that we can fit your needs.

    See you next week!

    Gwen Daniels
    Wildtree Herbs

    Children and their ages:
    Benjamin, 6 years and Naomi, 1 year

    Started Business: September 2003

    Products:
    Wildtree Herbs is a direct sale company that offers a large array of natural herbs, spices, dressings, sauces and more. The products are mostly organic, sugar free, and salt free. All the products are free of fillers, preservatives and most of all MSG!! Our products do not contain any anti-caking agents, so even though the herbs and spices may cake up and seem as if they are not fresh, they are still good to use and maintain their freshness.

    Why you chose this business :
    I chose this business not only because I wanted to make a little extra income, but because I really enjoyed the products. I wanted to meet new people and just add something different to my career per se. I believe in the companies mission and goal to bring American's back to the dinner table and spend more time with their families without taking away from their busy schedules. Wildtree Herbs purpose is to help people cook, create quick, easy and healthy meals in minutes. You can't ask for more than that. I certainly needed it considering that I too know what it's like to have a hectic schedule. Why not share what I have gained working for Wildtree Herbs.

    Hardest part of business :
    The hardest part of this business so far is getting it known online and offline. Not many people know about Wildtree Herbs so they become hesitant.

    Best part of business:
    The best part of the business has been the many business relationships I have made especially online. I have met so many wonderful people with much insight who are willing to help and willing to network. I enjoy meeting new people and that has been a plus.

    Are you successful by your standards?
    I would consider myself somewhat successful. Not quite where I would like to be but still aiming high and I know that I will be successful.

    Biggest support :
    My biggest support is my husband, then I would have to say my Wildtree Herbs Manager Crystal. Two other big supporters I have to mention are Sue Enos Owner of Party Moms at Home website, and Sher Owner of Mom and Her Money website.

    Anything you would do different?
    If I had to do it over I would not do it different maybe I would have taken a different approach to marketing and advertising my business. Overall I think I have done and still doing pretty good.

    What If.....

    We all spend our lives thinking “what if…..?” Many of these what ifs never happen and we are thankful. It does us no good to think on many of these, since we can do nothing to change our chance of them actually happening. As a parent I can think of lots of what ifs. I try to do everything I can to prevent these what ifs from happening to my kids.

    Solitary Occupancy

    Going to the bathroom is a communal experience in my house. When one must purge the impurities from his or her system, a shout is heard throughout the house, "I'm going to the bathroom now!" Then others following en masse to the threshold of the lavatory in hopes to be a part of some bathroom fun. Someone may bring a snack, another one might bring a book or a deck of cards. The bathroom becomes a malodorous but popular break room.
