The following is a great post about understanding the basics about hosting, and how to find the best website hosting providers when you are just getting started online. GUEST POST: By Tiffany Dow Gone are the days when you needed to be a tech guru in order to be able to create your very own website. Now with more tools, software, and pricing options available, anyone can own a website -

I realized that I often mention different sites I use, or places I frequent to learn more about how to make money online - and one of the places I mention alot is Earn1KaDay. I also realized that while I talk about it alot, maybe I haven't really given any of my readers an indication of what all is inside this exclusive membership site, not to mention the internet marketing training they will

I guess today is a bit of a rant, (again - starting to wonder if I have some anger issues;-), about something that I see alot of, especially around this time of year. Everyone has heard all the talk about needing to attend Internet Marketing seminars and conferences if they really want to grow their business. And, most likely you have heard it said at one time or another that if you don't

Sometimes getting traffic to a website can leave you feeling like you have ran out of gas on an abandoned dirt road. No one is coming by - and you feel like you are the only one who is actually seeing your site. And unfortunately, without traffic, there really is no point to having a website. If no one is visiting, and no one is seeing your offer, then it doesn't matter what else you do - you

I have finally found some extra time to sit down and write a bit! Actually, today is my youngest daughter, Amy's 2nd birthday! So, I have kind of decided that I don't need to do any work on the computer today while she is sleeping.I can't believe she is 2! I feel happy that it is her birthday, but I also feel kind of sad. It has just gone so fast, with both of my girls! In a way, I feel that

Yesterday, my sister and I made a TON of chili! She is always getting me involved in these schemes of hers ~ sad thing is, I always get suckered in! Anyway, we are selling chili at a hockey tournament this weekend to raise money for our daycare committee. So, we made over 10 ice cream pails full of chili. Now, that doesn't really sound like a lot. Let me put it into perspective - we cooked

I seem to be so busy lately, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what I am so busy with! Anyway, this past week has been a bit hard for me, as I have been having some problems with a really strange thing happening to me! Every time I go outside, I end up with my face burning, and sometimes I end up with a severe rash on my legs and hands as well! The sad thing is, it can happen after being

OK, I have recently had it pointed out to me that I hadn't made an update here for awhile! I honestly didn't realize that much time had gone by! Anyway, I would like to use this post to make sure that no one else has to go through what I have been with my computer! I have spent this past week fighting with this thing, and I thought it was going to win. But, I think I have finally come out in

OK, I haven't been back for a couple of days. I put my back out a week ago, and I am only now able to actually sit at the computer long enough to type. I spend every day lifting heavy kids, doing heavy household chores, (garbage, changing water jugs, vacuuming etc.), shoveling snow - things that could at any time cause you pain. How did I put my back out? I bent over to pick some diapers up

I really have no excuse for not writing much lately, other than I guess I am suffering from severe cabin fever, and too lazy to write. As of this moment, we are at a temperature of about -50 C with the wind chill. So, instead of fighting to bundle my kids up in the 5 layers of clothing they would need to stay warm, I just don't go anywhere. Pretty sad when my brothers coming to visit are

I have finally made it back! I hope everyone had a great holiday. Christmas was wonderful here, the weather was beautiful, and I got to see my whole family. New Year's wasn't anything too exciting, but nowadays it is just about impossible for me to stay up until midnight! So, I spent the minutes leading up to the new year yawning and doing the "head bob" trying to stay awake.My niece is now

Well, 2 more days until Christmas! I have just finished wrapping all my gifts, it took forever because I am what you would call "wrapping challenged". Now, I just have to get my house clean - why, I don't know! You just feel that your house should be clean for Christmas, even though it will only last about 5 minutes until the first gift is opened!But, I would like to use this post to wish

One more week til Christmas Eve!! I am so excited! I am looking so forward to this Christmas now that both girls are at an age to enjoy it. Amy won't really have a clue what is going on, as she is only 1 1/2, but she will still have fun. Last year, she was just starting to sit up on her own, and I really don't think she got much out of all of it. Morgan is pretty excited. She is at a great

Well, Christmas shopping was a success! I am all done, except for a couple of stocking stuffers. It feels so good to be done! I know that I probably spent more than I should have, and we will be eating beans and bread for the next month, but I can't help it. I just love Christmas, and the whole process of it! It is the one time of the year when I can spoil my kids, and nieces and nephews,

I figured I better make a post as I am going to be away for a couple of days. I am going into Winnipeg to start my Christmas shopping. Normally, I don't get to do that, but it just happens that my husband needs some work done on his truck, so I am tagging along! He just got home today after being gone for 3 weeks. So, I am using the time to get some badly needed rest!Amy is adjusting fairly

Today I received an email from Christine Steendahl from "Dine Without Whine", which I have mentioned here before. I think it is a great idea for moms, which is why I bring it up again. She is now offering Lifetime Memberships for $85.00, which is 50% off! She is only able to offer this until December 7th, so don't hesitate! If you know of any moms who could use some extra help, this could be

Today I filled in for a friend as the mom helper at the nursery school. It was actually quite fun! But, as much as I love kids, it takes a special kind of person to be able to do that every day! Some of the kids just do not listen, and I don't know how I could have the patience for it. One thing about it, no matter how bad you think your own kids are, if you spend a day with a bunch of other

As some of you may know, I am addicted to remodeling and renovating. I watch all the home improvement shows, and my husband has had to redo many projects that didn't turn out exactly as I had "envisioned". So anyway, I am always popping around on the internet for new ideas, and for sites that have what I am needing. One site that I want to mention is called GuaranteedBlinds.com. Why? Well, I

Today we put up our Christmas tree. I just couldn't wait anymore! I have always loved Christmas, but since I have had kids, I am feeling like a kid myself again! And, you know what? There is just no greater feeling than watching the expressions on your kids faces when you start pulling all the Christmas stuff out of the boxes! They had such a great time, they both helped decorate the tree

Yesterday was a massive cleaning day! I sent my kids to my mother in laws for the day, so I could work without interruption. And, would you like to know how much I actually got done? THE KITCHEN! How sad is that! I had so many papers, magazines, drawings, everything imaginable, that I had to sort through. Plus, I had to clean the fridge out and the oven and the food cupboard. It took

Yesterday I took Amy (my 1 1/2 year old) to have her picture done. I wanted her to have a picture wearing the same little red sweater her sister wore for her Christmas photo when she was that old. Well, let's just say, there was no picture taken. She put up a fight like a cat stuck in a box! She was screaming, and every time I let go of her on the platform, she just climbed down. Then when

Well, Amy is sick again/still, I don't know! She has had a temp for 2 days now, and the doctor finally put her on penicillin to treat her for a bronchial infection. He says he just wants to be sure that it doesn't turn into pneumonia. Boy, these kids are testing their mommy's endurance so far this winter! It is now going onto 3 weeks that one or more of my family have been sick with something. I

I am just going to take the time today to write a thank you to all of our Veterans, as well as all of our troops presently stationed overseas. Tomorrow is Remembrance Day here in Canada, and it is important that we remember the sacrifices that so many men and women have made and are still making for our country. I am including a link to a video that I think is great, and the song is written

I have been very busy this past week getting an online store put together. I am pretty excited about it! It's a gift store that has pretty much everything! I am still working on it, and I'm sure that I will always be adding and taking away from it to make it better for everyone. Go check it out, www.maries-gifts.com. Everything is completely secure, as far as payment processing, and I have

Well, I survived Halloween. Barely, I might add. I know that Halloween was invented to test the strength of parents everywhere! Amy absolutely hated every minute of it, and screamed and cried the whole time, (although to be fair, she was still sick apparently, which I discovered later that night!). Morgan enjoyed it a bit more, but I think that she was even a little frustrated by the whole

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!I hope the weather is co-operating a bit better for everyone else than it is here! It has been snowing for 3 days, and it isn't very warm. Makes for a real enjoyable trick-or-treating adventure! Morgan had a party at school this morning, and is quite excited about the whole Halloween thing.

I have finally found a moment to write something! This past week has been unbelievable. My youngest daughter got the flu on Tuesday night. When I was finally feeling confident that she was on the mend, I actually sat down here and started to write my next post. I had about 3 sentences written, when my other daughter started throwing up! I'm not kidding! And, she's feeling better now, but

Well, I made it to school on time! All I can say is, I give those nursery school teachers credit! I could never have the kind of patience it would take to do that all the time! Way too much energy in one room for this mom! Anyway, Morgan did great! She had taken her Winnie the Pooh, and a favorite book for show and tell. When it came time for me to read her favorite story to the class, she

Tomorrow is mommy helper day at Morgan's school. She is so excited! This will probably be the first day she is actually looking forward to going to school! Plus, she gets to do the show and tell, and be the helper for the day. And, I'll get to see how she is with other kids. (Hopefully, she won't be stuck to me the whole day!)So, any one who is interested in joining a forum for moms, we have

In the last post, I talked a bit about how funny some things kids say can be. Well, sometimes they can say things that just show you how children's minds work! At the same time, they can make you realize that no matter how small you may feel in the world, in a kids eyes you are the world.The other day, Morgan mentioned something to me about having "super powers". I didn't really pay much

I am sitting in the public library right now because Morgan is at a reading group. She still doesn't want me to leave her here on her own. I'm not really pushing it yet, as I am just so grateful that she is getting better going to school. Anyway, the computer I am writing this on has the smallest screen possible, so I will apologize in advance for any spelling errors. I just really can't even

Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did. This morning we started getting our first serious dose of winter. Although I realize that I should have learned by now to be prepared for the weather around here to do crazy things, I really wasn't ready for this yet! I spent all morning scrambling because I realized that hats, mitts, boots, jackets - nothing fits anymore! And, Amy

I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! I hope everyone has a great day, and gets to spend some time with family. It's a day to think about what all is important in your life, and to feel thankful for what you have. So often throughout the year, life has a way of wearing you down sometimes, and you don't stop to take notice of the little things in your life that mean so

OK, so I have never claimed to be mom of the year! But, do you ever have days where you just think that you have to be doing something wrong, because your kids just seem to be driving you crazy? I feel so bad when I think things like that, but the truth is - they really are! I have 2 little girls who seem to think they need to be physically attached to me at all times, and at the same time,

Well, in case any of you haven't read the comments that people have been putting on at the end of my postings, make sure you check out the last one! My sister always has such great advice! Tonight there is a meeitng in town for a committee that has been very dedicated in trying to get a community daycare running. It is so badly needed in this town!

I have finally managed to get Amy (my youngest) to go down for her nap. She has been upstairs screaming for an hour! I have never seen a child so stubborn (well, except for her sister!). I have been given 2 beautiful little girls, and I know I am so lucky, but I have to say that I have also been given the 2 most stubborn kids in the world, especially when it comes to sleeping!

I cannot believe how hard it can be sometimes to find an extra few minutes in the day to actually sit down and write something worth reading here! I honestly don't know how all you moms who are working outside the home manage your time. I never seem to have time to even go to the "little girls room" without having someone needing something! Anyway, the truth is, I really don't have anything

Well, I have finally managed to find time to write again! I guess to be completely honest, I have probably had the time, but I have either been too exhausted (kids who never sleep...) or Grey's Anatomy was on. Anyway, Morgan's second day of nursery school went a little bit better (very little, but better). She still cried, before we even left the house, and she was actually trembling when we

Well, today was the first day of nursery school! Morgan was excited all night and all morning getting ready- then we got to school! Once we got in the classroom, and she saw some of the kids crying, she started to think that maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all! I knew she was starting to panic, then when I said I was going -- well let's just say things kind of fell apart! She was crying

Hi! I haven't been back for a few days. I was getting ready to have a yard sale on Saturday. All I can say is WHY? The work that goes into something like this is ridiculous! Organizing, cleaning, pricing, advertising, setting up -- and for what? A group of us went together to have it, so we had a ton of stuff. And to make things even better, it was raining! Hasn't rained all summer -- but

Hi! I just wanted to introduce you to something I have run across that I think is a wonderful service for all busy moms. You all know that I don't have any kids in school yet, but I know alot of families who do, and I really think this is something for everyone to consider. Read over the article provided, them go and check it out for yourself.Dinner Planning For Busy School DaysAnother summer has

So, I haven't written anything for the last couple of days. I have really been working on getting the kinks out of the website I am working on. It really isn't that easy when you basically don't have a clue what you are doing! Today, Morgan (my 3 year old), bit her little sister. I didn't know for sure what had happened--I heard Amy cry, but Morgan wouldn't tell me what she had done. I

I have been wanting to put this in now for awhile. My sister gave me a copy of it awhile ago, and I framed it and leave it by my desk. I think the message is great, and it is a wonderful insight into what is important in our lives, especially as moms. I'm not sure who wrote it, but the message is what means the most.The Mayonnaise Jar & Two Cups of CoffeeA professor stood before his philosophy

Today I am finally able to sit back at my computer. For the last 2 days, I endured the most dreaded thing for a mom to face -- getting the flu. It was a good one! My husband (who is a truck driver), had actually taken over a week off, but the day he went back to work, I got sick! What a nightmare! My 3 year old tried to help with her sister (17 mos.), but mostly I still had to do all the mom

Hi! I just recieved your comment Lisa about not being able to buy in Canada. Unfortunately, it is only available in the U.S. right now. I think it is a trial that Amazon is doing to see how it goes. I'll keep you posted when it becomes available in Canada, and I will for sure let them know that it needs to be made available to Canadians as well.

Yesterday I set up a store through Amazon.com. I don't know if you have ever gone and browsed around on Amazon; it is definately more than books! They have a ton of great things there! Gift ideas, stuff for the kids or yourself--they really have a great selection. Anyway, I think it is great because you can get the things you need delivered right to your home. Save you from having to drag

Today I just want to send the message out to be sure to never take any moments in your life for granted. Enjoy every moment you have been given with your kids, your family and your friends. I found out today that a woman I had gone to nursing school with was killed in a car accident yesterday. When you hear news like that, it feels like a blow to the stomach, and the air has been knocked out

The reason I am posting again today, is that I forgot to mention that I had an article published in an internet article directory. It was kind of exciting. It is an article about starting an online business for moms--basically just advice before starting out. If you want to check it out tryhttp://ezinearticles.com/?id=274944. I am kind of proud, I think it has some good advice. Anyway, until

I haven't posted anything for a couple of days now, I have been so busy. I'm sure alot of people think that because I am home all day, I should be able to get more done. Well, I don't know, I think I have some serious time management problems! I feel like I never seem to get anything done (ie. housework, yardwork, etc.), and yet I can't seem to figure out where my time is going! Anyway, that

I have just come home from a teddy bear's picnic that was held in my town. It was so much fun! My little girls had a great time, and there were alot of other kids that looked like they were enjoying it too. I am so grateful that I am able to be here to take my kids to stuff like this. On those bad days when I question exactly why I decided to stay at home, I need to remember the days like

Is anyone else tired of the ongoing "mommy wars"? We have all heard of it--working moms vs. the stay at home moms, and who is right. I, for one, get very frustrated with the whole thing. We are all moms and we are all just trying to do what we think is best for our children. What may be ideal for one woman, may not necessarily be what is best for another. No one can know anyone else's

This entry is for my mom. She was a stay at home mom, and I know she has never been properly thanked for everything she did for us.I always remember my mom being there for us. In all my memories, I know she was there. There were four of us (2 girls and 2 boys), and we lived in a very small house out on a farm. I will never know how she managed all of those years--she must have nearly gone

I am sitting here trying to think of something witty and insightful to start off with, but my oldest daughter (Morgan), seems to have other ideas of what I should be doing! This I guess is the basis for life of the stay-at-home mom! What I wanted to write about first is a bit of a background. I have absolutely no computer experience or knowledge, so this blog is my first foray into the

Hi! I would like to say welcome to everyone who has taken the time to check into the Moms at Home blog. I really hope to be able to provide quality content for you all to enjoy! I plan on focusing on issues that are relevant to all moms, with my main focus obviously being that of stay-at-home moms. I intend to use articles that I feel will be of some interest and provide advice when needed. As a
