Issue 3

Greetings from Anita & Kara-

Wow! What a wonderful (and busy) month it has been! There have been so many new faces showing up around here lately. Our little community is growing like a weed! It really is an honor to be part of such a genuinely friendly and tight nit group (don't change a thing - ever!)

Just a friendly reminder...
There's still over $200 in prizes just waiting to be given away to that very chatty person! And all you have to do to win it is start a topic! How much easier can it get? There's only ONE WEEK LEFT! Visit http://mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3622 for more details.

We've added a few new things to our network of sites that might be of some interest to you.

http://www.Wahm-Articles.com
Here you can submit your articles for free. Have an online publication and are in need of some quality content? Stop by and pick up an article.

http://www.DirectSalesHelpers.com
Although this isn't a new website we're making new additions every day and have big announcements planned for the very near future. So, if you're in direct sales you'll want to stop by and sign up for our newsletters to find out about upcoming events first!

http://www.MomChats.com
Due to an overwhelming request, we've re-opened MomChats.com for free use for your online parties, chats, online expos, team meetings or whatever you'd like. Stop by and book your next event with our new online party helper, Val Selby of http://www.BusyMommaWellness.com

And that's just a couple of things! Be sure to visit our community often so you can keep up to date!

Till next month...
Anita & Kara
