Fun for Charlotte and her little friend on a cold, Autumn day. We had a ball just watching them play happily.

Time to visit 5minutesforMom to see what other WW posts are up. I haven’t visited in awhile.

I had an epiphany after my last coaching session with Kelly McCausey from Mom Masterminds. She suggested I clear some buttons off my blog and start promoting only those things that I feel good about. Not that I didn’t feel good about the ones I’ve removed, but I feel even better about the current ones.

Now that there are only 3 buttons on the sidebar I feel so much lighter.  As blogs go, I wasn’t overly extravagant with things, but  it must have been crowding my mind all the same.

I’ve been having fun writing the odd blog post, but it suddenly dawned on me that yes, I did start blogging so as I could also make some money. I’ve been having so much fun (once I get down to it)  writing all about what’s happening in my life and forgetting to make mention of  some great programs I’m involved with. I’ve written about them here and there, but I really want to get the word out more because I do believe in them.

I’m not a pushy kind of  gal, but I do believe in promoting things if  I’ve had a positive experience.  And that goes for anything whether I’m going to make a buck from it or not.  A good analogy might be when I find a gorgeous item at an Op shop and I often do. I just can’t help blurting out to people that this lovely item cost me only X amount of dollars from the second hand store.

So, I’ll be shouting out a bit more often from here on in, about those things I’m an Affiliate for because I believe in them wholeheartedly. I’ll also shout out about just good ole bargains whether I’m an Affiliate or not.

So today’s shout out is for Mom Masterminds. One of the best WAHM (but not only) forums for me as a newbie and for those already established in their online business.

Currently, the savvy women at MM are having a Ten Day May Madness sale and it ends on the 20th May. Mom Masterminds have a great $5 deal for you and $5 is all you’lly pay for any of  the products. Hurry there before it all ends.

Editing : The 20th has been and gone, in case you haven’t looked at a calendar lately which I doubt, especially if  you’re a business person. lol  Sooo, the May Madness Sale is over until next year.

My disclaimer here : I might benefit financially if you do purchase anything through my link, but I wouldn’t be raving on if  I didn’t think it was all worthwhile, so it’s not just about the money.

Well it won’t be a secret anymore, but for many months I have been in love with some bottle top social media icons from dawghouse design studios. That’s right folks. It doesn’t get much more sordid than that. I’ve had these icons hiding away waiting for a moment where I could make them public. I was shy about doing this myself and knew I needed help.

Earlier in the week I had my first WordPress Orientation session with Kelly McCausey and I revealed my love for these icons to her expressing the desire to have them made public so, as part of  this Orientation program which helps me to understand how to ‘drive’ my WordPress blog more easily, Kelly popped the new icons onto my blog. I no longer feel unfaithful, so thanks to you, Kelly for hearing my story and helping me to come clean.

I urge all of you to take heed and if you have anything hidden in the dark recesses of  your mind like I did you might just need to chat to Kelly. She’s a whiz with so many things. Word Press Orientation being one of  them, coaching being another and it doesn’t stop there. I’m looking forward to learning more about Word Press. Now that I’ve paid the very low fee, it is ongoing. I can take my questions along or just listen in and learn from others at any of the sessions.

Hopefully, there won’t be too many other dark stories I need to reveal, so I can just concentrate on learning from now on.

Disclaimer : I won’t get any rewards monetary or otherwise for revealing my love affair with dawghouse design studio. However, should you click on the WP Orientation link, I am an Affiliate so I may earn a commission. Lucky me

I finally (partly) watched  ‘Avatar’ the other night and have to say, I really don’t know what all the fuss is about. ‘Partly watched’ because I was working on my computer at the time. The lounge was the cosiest place in this cold, old house with a lovely log fire burning, so that’s where I was going to sit and attempt to do my work.

I was curious about the movie aswell with all the raves it was getting from people who said they weren’t particularly into sci-fi. So my curiosity got the better of  me. There were some interesting, almost touching scenes. I know for sure
that one quite powerful part would have thrown me into a full on panic attack on a big screen at the cinema because I could feel the signs taking place just watching on our small screen tv. It came after a particularly violent part of the movie which is another reason why I only ‘partly watched’.

This brings me to the reason for my blog post. (more…)
