Passion

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ‘10 Contest asks us to write about what our passion was if the internet was wiped out tomorrow.  I think for most people that is a hard question, but if something would happen to me, I think I would want to remembered as one who pays it forward.  (I’ll be honest that my first passion is my kids, but that wouldn’t make as interesting as a post.  :)   )  Why is that my passion?  Even though I am Catholic, I believe in karma.  I believe that what goes around comes around.  I know for a fact I wouldn’t be the blogger I am today if it wasn’t for those bloggers who went before me.  Those bloggers helped me (for free), and I try to do the same.  I offer any new and upcoming blogger (and established ones too) my time and help.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I should write an ebook or charge for this help.  I won’t!  I’m actually in the process of putting up a business site and on there I’ll be giving out my knowledge of blogging.  I drop everything with a phone call needing help be it blogging, personal, etc.

Blogging has given me an income and lots of fun stuff to review.  It’s opened so many doors for me and gave me the life I lead today.  It’s given me friends I don’t know what I’d do without now.  I want to offer this life to anybody else out there who wants it, and I hope they pay it forward also!  Blogging can be life changing and if I can open that door for anyone else, I want to.

Amazon, You Rock!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Amazon, I’d still totally make out with you.  Seriously.  If you are a regular reader here, you may remember a post I wrote last year about Frustration Free Packaging.  Basically, they got rid of the annoying clamshells and twisty ties, and all you have to do is open a box.  Brilliant, isn’t it?  I thought so and wrote a post about it.  That lead to an interview with the New York Times.  That was pretty cool but not as cool as what I woke up to this morning.

That’s me!!!!!  So welcome new traffic!!!!  And well, I am super excited.  I think I need to write more posts about making out with my favorite companies (Hello Best Buy!  Hello Toy Companies!  LOL).

In all seriousness, I love Amazon.  I order from them a lot (umm like last week) and I still think this is a genius idea.  I love that they are watching what their customers are saying about them and that they linked to me!  Happy Monday!

Cold, Seasonal Flu & H1N1 Symptoms

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I got this great chart to help you decipher what sickness is going around in your house. As a mom, I am freaking out about H1N1, and this really helps to figure out what’s going on.  (That being said, always make sure you call your doctor for the proper medical care).
