    Note from Anita

    Happy Wednesday! Spring is just around the corner..I just know it! Hope everyone is farther along in their Easter shopping than I am! We'll be rushing out Friday or Saturday digging through all the leftover candy and fighting off all the other last minute shoppers. Things still haven't slowed down around here. (Not that I'm complaining) I'm still working on getting my daughters website up and running. Thanks to Jennifer T from Need To Succeed this should be moving along faster. She's agreed to help out the cause and set up a template for us! Thanks Jennifer!

    Till next week...

    Note from Kara

    Hello!

    I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we have been having. It's getting warmer everyday, and there's talk of some thunderstoms tonight (which I absolutely love, so am excited!).

    There will be no Online Party this Sunday due to Easter, but we will be back April 18th with 2 new hostesses. If you are interested in hosting, don't forget to join our new group: Online Party Hostesses. There's been talk about a special Mother's Day Party, so if you would like to be involved, please join the group!

    See you next week :)

    Michele Wright
    Heavenly Sweets

    Children and their ages:
    Breanna 7,Kaitlyn 5,Alyssa 2

    Started Business: March 8,2004

    Products/Services:
    We offer homemade layered mixes in decorative jars and craft bags. We also have baked goods and chocolate dipped specialties as well.

    Why you chose this business :
    I chose this business for several reasons. Baking has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I love to make others happy and nothing does that like fresh baked goods. The other reason is the fact that everything is made to order fresh. Nothing is sitting around on a shelf.

    Hardest part of business :
    The only hard thing I would say is getting the people to the site. After that the products do the rest.

    Best part of business:
    The best part is being able to offer my customers quality food products. I also enjoy meeting new people on and offline. It's a whole lot of fun.

    Are you successful by your standards?
    Yes. I feel successful because I never give up and I believe in this company.

    Biggest support :
    My family has supported me 200% and are always there to lend a helping hand.

    Anything you would do different?
    Absolutely nothing. I'm having a great time.

    What's An Affiliate Program?

    Affiliate Programs are a way for you to sell another company's products or services and receive a commission (or when you are ready, it is a way for you to get others to sell your products). Selling through another company's affiliate program is a great hands-off way to sell on the Internet. You promote the product or service on your web site (and don't forget your email). The company is responsible for the product or service; they process payments and ships the goods. You get the commission.

    Play-Doh as a Teaching Tool

    We all know that kids love to get their hands messy in cookie dough, bread dough, play-doh. But how do you take the art of playing in dough to a higher level of teaching for a preschooler. Here are some ideas.

    Easter Eggsperience

    When I went to the grocery store to purchase an Easter egg dying kit for my family, the shelves were packed with so many different kinds I couldn't decide which one to buy. Sometime between my childhood and the nineties, the egg dying process evolved from dropping a tablet into a cup of vinegar and water into swirling, spinning, or speckling eggs into Faberge recreations. I finally picked up the "Tie-dye" coloring kit because the box had a picture of a smiling family decorating eggs and the words "fast" and "easy" written in big letters along the bottom. I tossed it into my cart.
