Note from Anita:

For some reason I've been in writing mode lately. I'm currently
working on a new ebook and just finished another last week. This ebook is
for those of you who are new to owning an online business. As many of
you already know, the online world is full of possibility. It gives you
the power to meet people from all over the world that you could never
dream of meeting and better yet, DO business with. Sometimes our
businesses just need a kickstart to get it going and this ebook is just what
it needs. Feel free to check it out at

For our message board members...

newsletter has been posted in the Mommy's Helper Clipboard forum for

Note from Kara:

I think we've finally got in the swing of things as far as school goes.
Although that hasn't stopped us from being late a few mornings. Who
knew it would take so long to get two kids to eat breakfast and get
dressed? At least we have no bus to catch and I drive them to school every
day - one of the perks of being in a small town!

Aside from getting the kids to school, keeping up with my own classes,
and working on daily tasks, I haven't had time for much else. Some
updates on all sites have been made that I feel good about, and more are on
the way. I'm lucky Anita has been in the writing mood, because I'd had
little time to write content for business!

Until next time!

Top Signs of Volunteer Burn-out
One of the best things parents can do for their children is to
volunteer in the classroom or for an after school sport or club. But sometimes
parents, especially moms, can over-commit and that can quickly lead to
burn-out and resentment. Post the following list on your refrigerator
to help keep your volunteerism in a healthy range
