MOMMY?S HELPER CLIPBOARD
Feburary 1, 2006
Issue 1
=========================

Greetings from Anita & Kara
=========================
Warm greetings faithful board members! Welcome to our very first issue of Mommy's Helper Clipboard! Mommy's Helper Clipboard is a monthly summary of what's happening around Mommy's Helper Community published by our very own Mommy's Helper's Helper, Lauren Haugh (aka scrappinwahm) of Top Line Creations. Each month Lauren will keep you up to date with what's been happening around our community such as who's who, who's new and what's new to name just a few.

This month's issue is dedicated to our oh so very wonderful members. Without all of our inspirational, talented and we can't forget chatty members, we wouldn't have a community as great as this one. Just know that we appreciate each and every one of you for everything you do more than you'll ever know!

As most of you already know we've been under attack by hackers at least three times since last November. We would like you to know that we've had our tech guy come in and update the boards and installed some extra securities for both our community and our members within. Of course there is never a "definite solution" as hackers are coming up with new ways to invade our communities everyday however, we're now updated with the newest technology available and will continue to update as newer versions become available.

And don't forget ... keep posting! From the words of our very own Lauren ... You'll never know when you're going to be clipped for Mommy's Helper Clipboard!

Till next month....

What are we talking about?
====================
-> Besides the new Question of the Week, the hot topic of conversation in General Discussions this past month was about FlyLady.com. Members were split-while we all agreed that we liked the principles, most of us just don?t have the time to keep up with her cleaning system.
http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3382

-> 2006 Goals, and getting, being or staying organized in business, around the office and around home were all topics that were hot at the beginning of the month with a new year.

http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=103

-> Prayers have been requested and offered, as a number of our community members have either suffered personal loss, health problems or are helping one of their children through an issue. One thing about this community, there is always someone there to offer comfort and support.

Reminders
===========
-> Did you know that there is a Free Ezine/Newsletter Content Forum on the message board? Post your own/original (must be written by you) articles there. Please start a new topic for each article, and be sure to include your bi-line and any guidelines for publishers.
http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=20

-> Posting etiquette reminder: Please only post ads or specials in designated forums, and only if you are a ?regular member? (at least one non-ad post/reply a week). Others will be deleted.

People are going to be much more willing to buy from a friend they know rather than someone who just stopped in to post an ad. Introduce yourself and make yourself at home first!! (Wording borrowed from Anita?s post in the Specials forum)
