Scam Alert – Rebate Processing

It has been a while since I have discussed any of the home-based business scams that are floating around out there on the internet just waiting to snatch the hard-earned money of people who just want to find home-based work. The scam that I learned about today involves a so-called opportunity where you would process rebates at home. Supposedly, companies that offer rebates need people to process those rebates and they outsource that work to people who process rebates for them from their homes. Unlike some of the other scams out there that do a reasonably good job of appearing … Continue reading →

Two Favorite Cleaning Products

Last year when I got married, I moved into my husband’s house and wow! Cleaning a whole house, instead of just my previous bedroom, kept me really busy.

Feel Good Cleaning Products

Nothing makes me happier than an empty dishwasher and a full refrigerator. I mean, really, is there anything in life more pleasing to a busy mom than a clean house? Other than it staying clean for more than 45 minutes? Or having a band of cleaning fairies sweep into your home each week and sanitize it from top to bottom for free? All wishful thinking; still, there is something to be said about feel good cleaning. For some, using eco-friendly cleaning products that don’t force them to compromise their ethics is one way to make cleaning more tolerable. Organic cleaners … Continue reading →

Product Review: Hallmark Birth Announcements

Posted on by

Last week I had the opportunity to test out Hallmark’s new Personalized Baby Announcements. According to Hallmark, all you have to do is visit Hallmark.com/baby, pick your favorite design, and customize the announcement with your baby’s photo and your personal message. You’re supposed to be able to finish your announcements in the amount of time it takes for your baby to take a nap, with time to spare. To put the service to the test, I enlisted the help of a friend, Danielle, who recently had a baby boy. The selection of templates to choose from was pretty good. The … Continue reading →

How I Increased Productivity Painlessly

Last week when I read this article full of productivity tips for work-at-home-moms, and I couldn’t wait to try some of them myself. I feel very good about the level of work that I currently do from home but I still have this nagging feeling that I could get even more work done if I managed my time better.
