Smelling the roses and recharging our batteries!

This holiday season marks my 3-year anniversary in the Internet Marketing business. Of course, on such anniversaries we all ask ourselves: Am I better off now then when I started? My enthusiastic answer is: By far :-) That automatically raises another anniversary question: Am I where I want to be? My answer, thoughtful but still enthusiastic, is: Not quite ;-) Sound familiar? Or maybe you haven't gotten to the "better off" part yet. Regardless of how you answer these two introspective question.

Your Kids Career - Whose Choice?

A strange thing happened to me today. Or more precisely, a strange thought occurred. You see, my eldest son helped me install a new kitchen. He was the expert handyman. Me? Well, I was the 'gofor'. "Dad, could you go for this?" "Dad, will you go for that . . ." And you know, it took me back to my childhood. I used to stand by MY dad's side, helping him mend this and build that. What a pride I took in those days, holding a plank of wood at one end while he measured it, or going into his toolb.

Alternative Clothing For Babies

While the concept of "baby tees" has taken on a whole new meaning in the new millennium, some companies have made a real dedication to the original intent of the phrase.

Take, for example, Wry Baby, a company that specializes in humorous baby t-shirts. Some of my.

Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar), Diabetes Testing and Driving Your Car

Because hypoglycemia can effect your driving performance (even modestly low blood sugar can do this), if you are at all prone to hypoglycemia, I personally would strongly recommend you check out your blood sugar level each time you are about to drive. Prior to you putting the key in the ignition, test your blood sugar. There are some great glucometers out there, like the Accu-Check Compact with the Accu-Check Multi-clix lancet pen. The Accu-Check Compact has a 17 strip drum inside so you do.

A Few Tips About Comic Book Backing Boards

The second purpose for using a backing board in a comic is its potential to neutralize acid in the comic book paper.Acid in the paper that the comic is printed can ca.

The Top 6 Website Sins

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. Your website then is the window to your business. What would a passerby think of your "window"? Would they want to stop and maybe come inside for a few moments? Or would they just pass by without giving it a second glance? The goal of any website is to make the visitor stay.

Years ago, the only way to take your baby along was in a stroller or pram, or to carry her in your arms. All that changed with the introduction of the soft baby carrier, a way to carry your baby and still leave your arms and hands free for other things. Wearable babies are not a concept new to this culture. Native American women carried their babies on papoose boards on their backs.
