    Seven Mistakes Review Bloggers Regularly Make

    I love it when I hear about stay-at-home moms that are trying to supplement their family’s income.  I’ve always believed (obviously by what I’ve done) that you can be a stay-at-home mom and still exercise your talents and skills and create a growing business.   Many moms are turning to Review Blogs as one possible…

    Domain Hosting for Beginners

    I previously mentioned that my children all need to have a successful website or blog before I allow them to graduate our homeschool.   The first step was to purchase their domain names.  Then we needed to choose a company to use for the domain hosting.

  • Being an Entrepreneur

    Being an Entrepreneur

    I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur. To create something. To grow something. To be in charge of something.
