Feeling Like a Lucky Duck

Published by Alyssa Avant under Just Me, Just News

lucky duckyToday seems to be this WAHM’s lucky day. I am feeling like a lucky duck, discovering all kinds of cool things and amazing myself with my HTML capabilities, teaching myself FrontPage and actually created a few graphics with Paint Shop Pro 8 (my trial version that will run out in a few days). Oh how i want to buy it maybe I can swing it if my Stimulus check from the Government comes in. What do you think that would be an “investment in my business” right?? How many of your are with me??

So, want to see what I created today? I know my weekly tips list is suppose to be for those of you who are actually on my list or in the Organized Life by Design Network which I hope all of you are and if you’re not you will be after reading the weekly tips. I am just ecstatic that I created this template and then input my weekly tips email into it! See the Organized Life by Design Weekly Tips in HTML, I did that!!

Now, for all my other cool finds. This morning I received an email about a great new service to us WAHMs who have service based businesses such as Virtual Assistants, graphic designers, and ghostwriters, (that’s me) and the offer was to join this great resource called Shelancers which just launched. I was soo excited reading the opt-in page that I signed up immediately and ladies, if you are in the VA biz, or want to start Working from Home I think this place is a steal of a deal and you should join too. Because honestly, I’m Already Proud to be a Shelancer!

Next, I was Twittering and Stephanie of “Adventures in BabyWearing” mentioned her new blog post and so I hopped over and read it and got excited because I so love being a Mommy Blogger and I would love for more companies to target us as mommy bloggers, but I live in a rural community so just as I asked her how do I even start? How do I get involved with all the fancy smancy stuff like she did, she even got to go to Disney!!! So she and the blog post itself pointed me to Mom Select that will help me to do just that. So if you’re a mom blogger who wants to get involved in product reviews, etc. You should check out Mom Select.

Ok for now, I think that’s all of my excitement and cool finds! Oh wait, I am speaking at Mommyfest today too but the audio has yet to be released so keep a check on that and learn the “Advantages to an Organized Life”.

Surprised?? I was…..

When I saw this… Inspired by Alyssa

I was excited too, Wow! I thought I’m featured at the Mom Bloggers Club. This is a super cool, chick club I just joined probably weeks ago because yes, I am a MOM blogger. And I love to connect with other mom bloggers. So, this was a fabulous place to do so. I was even so inspired by the network/club itself that I formed my own network for my newest venture, Organized Life by Design.

Though I love my new network, I am still fascinated with how well the Mom Blogger’s Club is run and it still is an inspiration and somewhat of a challenge to me to do as well with my own network/club. It is updated almost by the hour it seems and the owner The Mom Salon does sooo well with it. I wonder if she isn’t constantly working on the site, that or she has a fabulous team of people working for her.

I know my favorite part of the Mom Blogger’s Club “look” is their graphics, I am soo envious of the awesome graphics that I have started trying to create my own graphics, so again they’ve inspired me to take action. I love anybody that does that! I like to be inspired.

So, I was honored to see my face on the main page of the network this morning. Hope you’ll come check out what all the fuss is about over at The Mom Bloggers Club.

P.S. The Mom Salon or your fabulous graphics team if you’re reading this…. “How did you lighten my face and make my photo look so much better?”

Edited to add: The Mom Blogger’s Owner who is known on the site as The Mom Salon is actually named Jennifer James. I was hoping to find out her real name!!!

Plus, I obviously got excited before I scrolled because after going back to The Mom Blogger’s Club I found this:  Lily
