Making Memories-Make T-Shirts!

Making Memories is brought to you by Momondealz and Madame Deals. The purpose of this weekly post is to give you creative ways to make memories with your children.  This week’s idea is by Amee at Madame Deals. I have a family tradition that is unique to our family according to my husband. I run out every Valentine’s day and buy the children shirts.

I decided that I am going to make our own summer camp shirts to wear when we go out this summer. It will make it easier to find the children … Read entire article »

Ask A Blogger-Starting A Blog

  I was out the other night and I was asked if I would teach a how to blog class. That is an interesting idea. I am actually a terrible blogger. I am however a great business woman. If I had it to do over again. This is what I would do. I would buy a domain. Then I would get a word press account. I would have my site built for around $150. Then I would go to work for a successful blogger. I would post once or twice a day on my site. I would spend time learning about the business. I would offer to intern for free or for a profit share and I would become more knowledgeable. I would write down what worked and what doesn’t. … Read entire article »
