Attachment Moms

http://www.attachmentmoms.com/ Attachment moms is all about being the best parent you can be.  Now I might get some bad responses for putting it in those terms but remember this is where I write my opinions.  It doesn't mean I am right or wrong.  Jennifer Houck is the owner of this great and informative website and like her I never knew there was a name for this style of parenting.  It just came naturally.  Now if it doesn't come naturally but it sounds wonderful to you, this is where you can learn what it is all about and how to parent in this same style. I remember one of my friends who was trying to get her baby to sleep through the night.  The general consensus anymore is that you should let them cry until they fall asleep so she had been through the first night of this.  I could tell just by listening to her that all of her mommy instincts were saying this was not the right method for her baby but it was what she was SUPPOSED to do.  She was so torn.  I told her my theory was that letting kids cry themselves to sleep does not teach them to go to sleep on their own.  It just teaches them to feel hopeless.  "I am uncomfortable, scared, lonely or sad but it doesn't matter, no one is going to help me." I can't imagine letting any of my babies feel that way so I pick them up when they cry.  I let them sleep with me not because I want to spoil them or never get them into their own beds but because I am selfish.  It is easier to nurse if they are in bed with me.  I feel better feeling their little breaths on my cheek when I am asleep.   Apparently this is all attachment parenting and I love it!   Don't think of it as your baby becoming to attached to you, think of it as YOU becoming attached to your child.  This will be a bond that lasts forever. This site will give you all kinds of great information from sleeping with your baby to making your own baby wipes, starting an at home business and making baby food, why you should use a sling and of course, how to get your toddler to sleep.  Regardless of your parenting style you will find something here for you.  Take a look:    http://www.attachmentmoms.com/     www.katieshugs.com FREE list of survey sites that pay, FREE list of mystery shopping companies, FREE list of Telecommuting companies.

Mom Gadget

Mom gadget at: http://www.momgadget.com/ is relatively new but already packed with great information! Billing itself as the "The Consumer Reports Just For Mom's" is probably an understatement.  We have all read the "regular reviews" in different magazines, on tv, etc.  I personally have always had to wonder if they paid for some of those reviews.  I have purchased products based on reviews only to find they were nothing like what was described.  What better than to have reviews written with real life knowledge behind them? Who better than to tell you whether that digital camera is going to withstand Gadget boy playing around with it when you aren't looking than Gadget Mom? Do you really want to buy a mixer that was reviewed by a celebrity and a chef who makes millions a year or would you be more inclined to buy it if a mom told you plain and simply that it really works? But wait! That's not all!  You can also visit the section on penny pinching and find out where and how to buy the GOOD hardware for pennies on the dollar!  I expect this site to be chalk full of good tips and ideas very shortly and definately pick it as a winner.  Don't forget to subscribe so you can stay up to date with all the latest! www.momgadget.com   www.katieshugs.com FREE list of survey sites that pay, FREE list of mystery shopping companies, FREE list of Telecommuting companies.

www.eggheaven2000.com/

This morning I went in search of a unique site about Easter. I figured since it was our next big holiday it would be fun to find a website that was new and different and full of great information about decorating Easter eggs, Easter recipes etc. Instead what I found was Easter eggs have taken on a whole new meaning! Now I knew this when I found the hidden songs on a couple of my cd's and when my daughter found a Easter egg in one of her dvd's. What I didn't know is how big this idea has become! For those of you not yet aware of the new Easter egg, it is a surprise hidden where you least expect it and where it is hard to find. For instance you might finish listening to your favorite cd but be preoccupied and instead of automatically popping it out of the player you just let it run. Suddenly you might hear a song you didn't know was on the cd. That is an Easter egg. I also didn't know that they could be found on websites. Apparently there was one in the form of an invisible link at amazon.com. I wasn't able to find it but it was from an employee who was leaving. A goodbye webpage. A very cute one is at www.clickey.com: On the front page, do a search for "we love clickey" (no quotes) Watch the fun dancing mice! You can easily waste a lot of time here just finding all the cute Easter eggs. There are eggs in everything! Visit eggheaven and see what you can find! www.katieshugs.com FREE list of survey sites that pay, FREE list of mystery shopping companies, FREE list of Telecommuting companies.

Easy Web and Design

Easywebanddesign.com I tried it out last night and you can click the link and give it a try to. It's free to try out. Just click on the sitebuilder link at the top. The part that impressed me the most was how quick and easy it is. If you have a product or service you want to sell and if you don't have the time or inclination to design your website from scratch or don't feel you really can, this is an ideal place. In less than 5 minutes I had a complete website built with every page you could need. It included a contact page, a products page, a shopping cart and a whole lot more. It was VERY impressive! It is almost like a website in a box. You just enter your personal information, enter whatever name you want for your website and tell it what kind of site you are building and voila! There it is! It gives you a very professional looking website. I built a site based on toys. I put in a made up name for my site and it was on every page automatically with a very impresseve logo. I took a look at the products page just to see what I was supposedly selling and I had a cell phone for sale! It was great to see how the products would be displayed and I imagine after you are past the initial setup and have signed up to use the service, you will have the ability to go in and add products and more things. It runs about $40 a month and includes all of your optimization tools, statistics etc. There are quite a few different packages and prices offered just depending on what you need and want. Another little detail I noticed was that you can also be a representative for the company and sell websites yourself. This in itself could lead to a very lucrative career! There are a lot of people out there who need and appreciate the type of service you get here.

Wahms Web

Wahms Web is owned by Brenda Boggs, mom to two VERY little girls. First I was impressed by two things. Brenda has done an unbelievable job of building her websites. She is also the owner of blogger party. Just being able to do this with two little ones underfoot is amazing to me! Wahms Web is beautifully done. There are articles, a forum, a work at home guide and my favorite section, Planet wahm. Planet wahm is like a collection of blogs within a blog. The information is always fresh and new. If you are at all interested in becoming a wahm (work at home mom) and don't know where to start this is definately a great place! Wahmsweb You can also earn points that can be exchanged for rewards when you participate in the different sections of Wahms Web. What a great concept and motivator! I am very excited about this site and I personally expect Planet Wahm to be the big hit. It is very different than what you find at most websites and unique enough to catch a lot of attention!

www.lunchtimers.com

This is one place that could become addicting! Do you use the letter refrigerator magnets to write messages at home? Well now you can do it online! The catch is there are others who are also writing messages. This means that just about the time you get your message done you find that some of your letters are missing! There is no protocol here. It is a huge free for all! There are three rooms set up where you can write messages. The room I was in only had three other players and it was HARD. I can only imagine what the room with six players was like! If you have some spare time and find yourself bored beyond belief, pop in here and you will soon find yourself absorbed with a bunch of little letter magnets!

Dunkingstool.com

I wasn't sure that I should review this site because some of the material isn't appropriate for anyone under 18. It is not an adult only site but there is some erotica if you look around. I found this site oddly fascinating! I must have spent at least a 1/2 hour here looking around. A dunking stool was a torture device that was used to punish people for their misdeeds. In an excerpt found on the site one woman was tied to the device and dunked because "who by ye violence of her tongue has made his house and ye neighborhood uncomfortable." Now with everything being said I have probably made it sound like an S & M site but that is NOT what this place is about. It IS a site for people who love everything about being underwater. There are some beautiful underwater pictures. (I ended up looking at everyone of them!) You will also find the history of the dunking stool, a chat room, message board and links to other underwater sites. It really is quite a fascinating place and if you get a chance to look around you should! www.dunkingstool.com www.katieshugs.com FREE list of survey sites that pay, FREE list of mystery shopping companies, FREE list of Telecommuting companies.

The Happy Slob

This website is definately NOT what it sounds like! I have seen the name www.happyslob.com around for awhile and I always pictured someone who was very happy and jolly but who had a very messy home. Personally I liked this picture! It made me feel much better about my own messy house. After looking around the website for a huge portion of the day I have to say I am very motivated to try out some of the cleaning recipes, ideas and tricks to cleaning your home the EASY way! There is a fantastic easy tip for dealing with smelly socks! Now where on else would you find help with that problem? Come on we ALL have that problem! I also found a great recipe for making Lavender Dishwashing soap. I can't wait to try that one! Lavender is one of my favorite scents and the site doesn't mention this but it is also a relaxing scent in aromatherapy! Imagine, relaxing while you wash dishes.. I love it! The website also offers a newsletter where readers share their own quick and easy cleaning tips and ideas, a blog where you can find almost daily updates about The Happy Slob and even sympathize with her. I definately can relate to the day she wanted to take a walk instead of clean. I probably would have opted for the walk though! Finally there is even a "The Happy Slob" e-book for sale! It retails for $12.95. The author has a dream and a goal of selling 10,000 copies. I believe that this is a dream that will come true shortly and I look forward to watching it happen. I am definately a new fan of the "The Happy Slob" and encourage you to visit and take a look around! http://www.happyslob.com/ www.katieshugs.com FREE list of survey sites that pay, FREE list of mystery shopping companies, FREE list of Telecommuting companies.

Scrapbooking4us.com

Website address: http://www.scrapbooking4us.com is a brand new website! What I like best is that it is a great place for beginners who are trying to figure out just where to start. If you are new to scrapbooking and even if you aren't you might remember how hard it was just to figure out where to begin. On the first page you will find out how to organize your photos, how to pick which photos to use and how to put your page together. Go a little farther and you can find some basic instructions on how to use different techniques, eyelets, paper tearing and more. There are pages with quotes and oneliners to add some zip to your pages. There is even a page with some great tips for keeping your scrapbooks inexpensive and we all know how expensive scrapbooking can get! In the future there are plans to add a message board a layout page and a lot more instruction pages. There will also be a blog with scrapbooking ideas, hints, tips and more instruction.
