OK – I haven’t been back for awhile. I do have my reasons – which include the fact that I have been working very hard these past few weeks at building up my local web development business. Along with that, I have put together a portal site for my local region which I have been heavily promoting. And, of course, I am still working as a Heritage Makers consultant – in my free time;-) (No – I don’t have much free time!)
Some days I really wonder where the glamor and thrill is of working from home!
Don’t get me wrong – I love my kids and am thankful every day that I get to be here with them! But, some days…….
All I have to distinguish my “office” from their “play area” is one small plastic carpet cover for my chair. It doesn’t give me much space, and I feel like Les Nessman from WKRP (you would need to be over 30 to understand who I mean!).
Yet – for some reason, my kids will spend the whole day standing beside my chair – one on each side – talking, coloring, writing, playing….unless I remind them about my “office” rules.
Oh – how I long for a real door sometimes!

As always, I have been busy these past few weeks. Even though I have pretty much come to the end of the big web design project I was working on, I am working hard at finding more work to keep going with. I never thought I could enjoy working as much as I do when doing Internet Marketing related work and web design.
Having the chance to really make use of the skills and knowledge I have learned over the past 3 years was so exciting for me! And, to see results so quickly, makes me feel pretty good too.
The site I was working on wanted me to help them with everything – because they were targeting an international market. It is actually a very competitive market, and it will require more work still.
But, I have their site already getting steady traffic every day, and the stats show that the people coming to the site are exactly the ones they were wanting. They have already had a couple signups for their mailing list (which I wasn’t even ready for! I still had to finish setting the emails up to go out!).
So – I am pleased with how that is going.
Meanwhile, as if I didn’t have enough going on, I finally bit the bullet and signed up as a consultant with Heritage Makers. I had finished a book about my Grandpa, which I received a couple of weeks ago. When I saw the book, and how it made me feel to hold it and actually be able to read it – I knew I had to be a part of this.
I already have a bunch of people who want to create their own books after seeing what I did. The fact that they are hardbound books, and not just scrapbooks, is amazing. And, they are so much simpler to do!
I just don’t have the time or the space to do traditional scrapbooking – as much as I tried. This is so much better for me. I can do it all online and don’t need to get anything out and set up. I can create whatever I want, and if it turns out really good, other people can order their own copy. (I have 3 people who want one of my books I did!)
So – I will mention from time to time how things are going with that. I don’t imagine I will do many parties, as I don’t know what I would be like with that. But, I imagine I will be able to talk to people and show them what is involved, and let the product sell itself.
If you want to see what Heritage Makers is about, you can go to www.YourStorybookLife.com to see my site.
I am very excited for 2009!

Any of my regular readers will see that I have added a couple of pages to the site. I am hoping to give the chance for other WAHM’s to be able to showcase and promote their own businesses – we are all in this together, and we all need to work together.
So – if you are searching for something, be sure you check out the Resources page. I will personally be checking every ad that comes in. I will not just post everything – it needs to be something that I feel will be a genuine opportunity for my readers. You might just find exactly what you are looking for among the opportunities you will see – so be sure to take a look!
Or – if you have a business, or resource that will help other WAHM’s – then check out the advertising page for rates, and submit your ads to be posted.
Hopefully, everyone can find some benefit to having these resources and oppportunities posted for everyone to make use of.
I have found in my years online, that women are a tremendous source of support for other women – and will go to unbelievable lengths to help one another. Building a business is no different – they are prepared to offer guidance and resources to help others get to where they are. Hopefully, there will be some resources included here that will help you.

I have been busy today putting together a free guide to online freelance writing jobs for moms who would like some information on this kind of work.
Obviously, this is something I have been doing for awhile, and I love it!
If you have ever thought that doing freelance writing is something you would like to try, but maybe you were afraid that you aren’t much of a writer, or it isn’t something you would be able to do, take a look at this guide!
Here is the link – no email required, no strings attached….

I give some great tips on getting started in the freelance writing world, and include links to some really useful resources when you are getting set up.
I am nowhere near the writing level of Shakespeare, but you know what? I am able to write my thoughts out as they come, and make written material out of it. And, anyone can do that if they try. Writing can be so much fun, and if you don’t stress about the grammar and using poetic words, you will be surprised at how simple it can be to become a writer online!
I wanted to give you a heads up, and if you have been searching for online freelance writing jobs that you can do, make sure you get a copy of this guide – my gift to you!

Good luck!
