When I was pregnant with my first child, I remember reading everything I could about pregnancy, babies and being a mom. It seemed so overwhelming, but something I was about to face. When I was pregnant with my second child, instead of reading books and magazines I was online reading articles and participating in forum discussions on all sorts of topics about parenting.
There is a really neat website I want to share for those that are parents and especially those that are expecting called EverydayFamily.com. This site has a wealth of information and resources for not only those that are pregnant, but those of you that are already parents that need information or help on things you are currently dealing with like daycare or preschool issues.
What I like about this website is the “Your Newborn” section. For each week that you your baby is growing, you can visit this section to find out what to expect. What is great is that not only does it tell you about what you should be expecting to see with your baby, but the changes that you might be going through too!
This is just one of the sections on their website that covers topics regarding babies. You will also find other resources such as helpful articles, blogs, newborn care, development, nutrition & feeding, post-prenancy topics and a whole lot more.
If you are looking to connect with other parents, be sure to join the forums and groups at EverydayFamily.com too!
When I was a child, I remember that I used to LOVE to play house with my cousins and friends. I would always pretend that I had my own office and I was my own boss. As I grew older, I still had the dreams of owning my own business and being my own boss so I signed up for college after high school to further my skills. By the time I was 20, I was pregnant with my first daughter and I was working full time at a retail store that I was unhappy at. I decided that I was going to find a way to make some extra money at home. The internet was becoming more and more popular and since I already had a passion for using computers, I decided to teach myself how to build a website, which didn’t stop at only one.
In just a couple months my first child turns 16. In the years that have passed, I was able to build my own business that consists of a network of websites where I was able to quit my last job where I had a boss and where I had to “clock in”. Being a small business owner, I know how valuable each customer is. For small businesses like me, we look forward to each sale that we receive, no matter how small. With that said, I want to encourage you to participate in a day that has been dedicated to helping support the small businesses in our community called Small Business Saturday which takes place on Nov 24, the Saturday after Black Friday.
Last year was the first year that I participated in Small Business Saturday and I was excited to hear that over 100 million people came together to show support in their communities. I am hoping that this year is going to be just as successful.
On November 24 my family will be showing our support! Instead of buying a dozen donuts at the grocery store, I am going to take the kids to this “mom and pop” donut shop just a few minutes away. The donuts may be a little more expensive than the grocery store, but I know that the money I spend there will help to keep the donut shop that my family enjoys to stay in business.
I have already talked to my kids about this day and if things go well and the kids are good, I plan to take them to lunch to this little restaurant that I enjoy eating at that has been in business in the same spot since I was a little girl. I know I would be so sad if that business was to ever close down.
Be sure to participate too! Mark your calendars for Small Business Saturday on November 24, 2012. You can also show your support on Twitter by using the hashtag #SmallBizSat.
Will you be showing your support? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know how you plan to show your support!
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for American Express. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.”
Today is Friday and I am excited for the weekend. I don’t have any plans, but maybe to have a nice fire by the fireplace and enjoy not having to drive in the rain. Today I found a bunch of work at home jobs that I thought you would be interested in.
Do these work at home jobs sound interesting?
There are these some of the work at home job listings I added today on Mommy Enterprises. To find these work at home jobs, visit:

When I was a child, I thought a root beer float was so cool. I was able to have not only root bear which I LOVED, I also got to have some ice cream too. When my mom made them at home, I remember her making the root beer floats in cold FROSTED mugs that made them even better!
This month Shoney’s is celebrating their 65 th anniversary and since they are known for their popular root bear floats, they are having a special promotion this month. Through November 30, when you order a root beer float you can receive a limited edition collectable Coca-Cola bell soda glasses. Shoney’s has partnered with Coca-Cola to offer its breakfast guests a coupon to enjoy the frosty fountain treat at the throwback price of 65 cents with a return meal enjoyed during the luncheon or dinnertime hours (purchase must be $5.00 or more and patrons must dine-in).
For those that have a Shoney’s near, this sounds like a yummy deal to me. I LOVE root beer floats, but unfortunately I don’t have a Shoney’s local to me. For those that already at at Shoney’s, be sure to take advantage of those $.65 cent root bear floats for me! If you prefer to make your own root beer floats at home, be sure to enter my giveaway below to win some cool glasses to make your drinks in.
Three of my readers are going to receive a set of 4 Shoney’s 65th anniversary commemorative Coca-Cola bell soda glasses. To enter my giveaway, please use the Rafflecopter below:
Good Luck!
