Men's Health Article on "15Ways to Change the World"

Men's Health had an article in April that gave way to an interesting quote. The quote led me to look up the orginal article "15 Ways to Change the World" which could be found on www.MensHealth.com/organicbook. That was a gold mine! I found some pretty interesting stuff from a book titled: "Organic Manifesto" by Maria Rodale. 2 of my favorites and some of the more interesting and maybe surprising pieces of information are:

"Nearly 100 different pesticides are thought to disrupt your body's hormonal balance, which could reduce fertility...And even trace amounts in food may be enough to damage sperm."


And

"Allergies, asthma, autism, ADHD, diabetes, and childhood leukemia have all been linked to exposure to chemicals. And that includes the fertilizers and pesticides you use on your lawn."

These both make me want to read and not read the book. If you have read it let me know what you think about the book, the article or what I have just posted.

Kelly Todd Glam Your Glass Review: I was fortunate enough to receive the sample of "Glam Your Glass" this past week to test out. Remember, that these are mase of all natural ingredients so don't be thrown off by the slight smell of vinegar. **Please read the directions and description before using.** I was so excited to try th...e product that I sprayed it on my bathroom mirror to find that it left a hazy residue. This is actually a good thing. As I gave it a minute or two and wiped it with a clean cloth, my mirror has never looked so clean and streak free. It is well worth the try especially for those with multiple mirrors and windows throughout your house! :)

Advertising for broke

I advertised- I didn't think I was getting much from it- at least not from my magazine ads. I stopped advertising. I stopped being busy. Hmmph! I going to call them one a direct link!
Today I met with Sharon from Bay Area Parent to get ads going again. Now I am slated for online ads for 6 months, 2 ads in their biannual baby special issues and 1 regular issue.
This is where the double edged soared comes into play- the cost of the ads will wipe out sales cost for awhile. The cost of business! Maybe my business classes will teach me that this is normal and I shouldn't feel bad- like I do. Grrr!
On the lighter side, it will be nice to see my ads up and going around again and seeing Sharon is always nice.
I just have a few more parents magazines to contact.
Here's hoping in ads!

New business, new rules

Now that I have hit the 1 year mark with Lizzy's Busy Baby Products I still have little more knowledge on how to get my business from small to successfully medium. I want to be able to conduct my business and spend time with my children, eventually having other people work for my business too. Really my business is tiny and I need more experience to make it more than what it is.
So, I have decided to take some business and digital media classes at one of our local junior colleges. Hopefully, I will come away from the classes and have more knowledge about what needs to be done to have positive growth. I also hope that I finish these classes and like business enough to pursue it when the boys are in school full time. But, I have years before that.
I am really doing 3 things with these classes: A)Getting educated B)Moving my business forward C)Applying my time to something I like for me and not directly for my kids or family
Now, I just have to take the classes. 1 during the summer that is online (thank goodness for bedtime) and multiple classes during the fall which are online and a few that are Saturday sessions.
I hope I am not getting in over my head! It's been awhile and a few kids since my degree and credential. Man I feel old now, Yikes! Am I really ready to move forward like this?

New product posts

Yikes!!!!
It took me what 1hour go successfully load pictures and text to my site for literally 2 items and their offshoot items. My bum is so sore from sitting on this hard chair!
In the meantime my husband is trying to get work done and the kids are all over the place. There are toys in every nook and crevice of this place. Plus, 1 bathroom accident which led to a shower for my little guy, 1 diaper change for my littler guy and a million times of stopping and reminding the kids what to or not to do.
My husband is not to happy with my timing since he has to work from home today and rather I don't take this, or any other, opportunity to "work" as I'm sure he would call it. Although, I also believed this is how he felt when I was an elementary school teacher too!
Alas, I am done uploading and announced 1 new item so here it is for you to see. Later, today another announcement-about a product!
