Happy, Happy Wednesday dear readers! I hope everyone has been as busy as I have been. As I always say, busy is GOOD! Today I get to announce the winner of the "Post The Most" contest from Mommy's Helper Online Community! First let me just say that it has been an amazingling close race. Litterally neck and neck throughout the month clear up until the last day! I've decided to throw in an extra prize for a second place winner. She tried just as hard as the first place winner.
First Place: Terry (aka elfinsnow)
Second Place: Bev
Congratulations to both of you ladies! All the members tried really hard but, someone has to win!
Lots of exciting events going on this week. First today we are hosting a networking chat at 1pm EST in the Need To Succeed chat room. To join us just visit: http://www.need-to-succeed.com/chatroom.html. Second, Anita and I are both involved in the Home Business Expo starting April 1st.
Children and their ages: Nicholas, our first, due on 4/28/04
Started Business: I started LuckyMomz in June of last year and MommysPlace in March of this year
Products/Services: Our websites offer great resources for the WAHM or those who want to work from home. We have new jobs listed dailey, archived jobs and companies that hire often, misc. jobs...such as Secret Shopping and more. We also have many resources for those who want to start their own business from home...including articles, websites, ebooks, links and more. On both sites we offer affordable advertising as well.
Why you chose this business : I love starting things from scatch...just from an idea in my head...I love the creative part, researching, putting it all together and running it. Its my passion.
Hardest part of business : Keeping from being discouraged. Its hard to run your own business but its worth it!
Best part of business: Meeting people over the web through my site. I have met many great moms! I also LOVE updating my site often...looking for new fresh content.
Are you successful by your standards? Yes and No. I'm successful as far as my basic goal is getting my sites up for people to visit and keeping them new and fresh but I always feel I can do better...thats just me...no matter how successful I am I will always feel I can do better.
Biggest support : Pamela, who gave me the MommysPlace.net URL. She has been amazing! I am so thankful to have met her.
Anything you would do different? Hmm, GREAT question! I would have kept up my drive with LuckyMomz. I lost it when I found out I was pregnant...all I could do was think about being pregnant and not about work. So my site lost a lot of its umph. I would have kept on top of it.

When lunch or snack time rolls around sometimes it can be difficult to keep children occupied and make the meal at the same time. Letting the children help prepare the food is an easy solution to a difficult situation. The following are some ideas of sandwiches that most children can help make themselves.
When I was a little girl my parents instilled within me the love for reading. We used to go to the library once a week and I would read anything and everything I could get my hands on. Through my reading I learned the power of storytelling.
Cooked Chicken, cut up (this is great for leftover chicken)
Onion, chopped
Mayonaise
Lettuce
Soft Tortilla Shells
Mix chicken, onion and mayo together. Spread these onto the tortillas. Top with lettuce and roll them up.
