Nightform – Prevention for Plagiocephaly
Have you heard of positional plagiocephaly? It’s also known as flat head syndrome, and is becoming increasingly common in infants. The skull, which is very soft in an infant, becomes flattened on one side, usually from lying in the same position over long periods of time. The “back-to-sleep” campaign, put in place to reduce the risk of SIDS, has potentially increased the appearance of this problem. You may have seen babies wearing helmets to reshape their skulls. The helmets are expensive and insurance companies often won’t cover the costs. The best way to handle positional plagiocephaly is to avoid it. Nightform is the first FDA-approved product designed to prevent positional plagiocephaly…

WAHMs Unite!
Today I’m angry. I’m not going to go into what exactly has pushed me over the edge, but I will address the bigger issue. Why do companies think that it’s ok to pay women next to nothing just because they’re working from home? And why do we put up with it? It’s offensive to me how little some companies pay for what results in a lot of work. If I’m doing the same work I would be doing in an office, I expect to be compensated at the same level. Over and over again, I see women undercharge for their products, their services, and their time. They think they’re being…

Do you Squidoo?
I have totally fallen in love with Squidoo! It’s very difficult to explain, but you create these webpages called “lenses†that are about a specific topic of interest. You can use different modules like a text box, links, photos, video, music, RSS feeds, etc. to tell about your topic. You can also include Amazon items, and other things for sale. Squidoo shares any profits made from affiliate links, google ads, and so on, with the lens makers – that’s us! Squidoo is a great way to advertise your business, market your blog, or share more about your favorite cause. If you sign up, do so through a referral link because…

Home!
I’m home and had a great time at convention. I’ll be posting more about that, but not tonight. =} Little Guy and Big Guy survived just fine without me and I didn’t cry the WHOLE time I was gone. Seriously, I just got misty-eyed a few times, and had a rough first night. Thanks for all of the support!

Travel and separation anxiety
On Wednesday I leave for a two day conference in Williamsburg, VA (I return on Saturday). It’s my first time leaving Little Guy and I’m a bit anxious about it. I know he’ll be ok, but we’ve never been apart for more than a few hours and I know I’m going to miss him horribly. To all of the mommies out there having empathy pangs, please send warm thoughts my way so I don’t bawl the whole time I’m gone! The conference is for BabyCrazy, the company I rep for. We’ll get a preview of the 2006/2007 line, get our new catalogs, and get to meet the President and COO. …

Stormy weather at the fair
I attended my first fair as a representative of BabyCrazy (and the Greeting Cake Company) this weekend. It wasn’t all that great, unfortunately. After spending an hour getting everything set up just “so†it started to pour. We were under a tent, but I was on the edge. Not only was the rain blowing in, but the water was flooding in on the ground, so we had to scramble to move all of our items out of the rain. The shaky weather meant that attendance was on the lower side and I was competing with a more well-known (and well-placed) toy vendor. That said, I did have a few small…

Technologically impaired
I love learning new things. I love seeing new places. Starting a new business, or several as the case may be, is a phenomenal challenge with a high learning curve. Right now, I’m ramping up my technical skills and that’s kicking my butt. It’s my own fault for letting my skills lapse in the first place. Here’s the thing… I’m a techie at heart. I began using a computer in 1981 or so and haven’t stopped ever since! [I even met my hubby online!] I was online in 1989 in the earliest days of the internet (before the “web†existed – can you imagine an internet without web pages and…
