A Mom's TLC

New Products

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:21:00 +0000

Well I have been working on some new items and trying to come up with some more. I have a new beanie style hat that is not so mesh and looks really cute on the older girls. I have made a water bottle holder for girls so that it measures perfectly to fit their hip and it holds the smaller bottle for girls to be able to handle it. I made this apron for little girls and adults out of my head so I am not sure if I like it yet. And then there is the cupcake purse. I love the concept but I am still coming up with ideas in my head of how I can change it. SO I love comments and I love to know what you think. Please tell me what you think of my new items.

Etsy Banners and Store Signs

I love creating banners and store signs and I thought I would share my latest one that I made for Heather. She sells diaper cakes and just started her store on Etsy. Stop by and take a look at her stuff, she does wonderful work. The banner at the bottom is her sign for her Etsy store I made her but i cant upload the exact size and then the banner is true to size 468x60.

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:37:00 +0000

I received my first award and I am so happy and so excited that there are really people reading my blog. I cant believe that all the sleepless nights and hard work is finally maybe paying off. I have been working on keeping my kids out of daycare for about 6 months now. I have been crafting and trying to turn that love into a business. No one told me it would be this hard, but just getting this award has brightened my day. Thank you so much to anyone and everyone that is reading my blog! This award was given to me by Ken at Dad to Two, thank you so much!

Doing the ChaCha

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:01:00 +0000

I just found this really cool place to make some extra money...here more info..
ChaCha is like having a smart friend you can call or text for answers on your cell phone anytime for free! ChaCha works with virtually every provider and allows people with any mobile phone device - from basic flip phones to advanced smart phones - to ask any question in conversational English and receive an accurate answer as a text message in just a few minutes.

We make money by being a ChaCha Guide...
What does a Guide do?
ChaCha Guides help answer questions from our customers. We provide professional search training and custom tools to turbo charge the process…you provide the brainpower to analyze the question and craft high quality answers. Once you’re onboard as a Guide, simply log in and work whenever you want.

There are 4 different Guide Roles...
Expeditor
Expeditors are like the Air Traffic Controllers of the ChaCha world. It’s your speedy, savvy work that keeps the questions flying in a swift, orderly fashion to the right places. Whether they departed the customer’s phone as voice or text, you are responsible for their on-time arrival in the hands of the right Specialist. At times, you’ll even intercept questions yourself and provide an instant answer to the customer.

As an Expeditor, you sit at the crux of the system, converting all incoming questions into a standard form, determining if answers already exist, and categorizing the questions so they’re routed to the best available Guides. We think the Expeditor role is a perfect fit for Guides who prefer a more systematic set of tasks. Roger, that!

Generalist
Generalists are the ChaCha version of the know-it-all, the renaissance man/woman, or the resourceful friend everyone calls. You are able to comprehend, research, and answer any question thrown at you, regardless of subject matter.

Though you possess many of the same attributes as a Specialist, you enjoy the thrill of the unexpected, and possess the Internet search skills to make you seem like an expert even when you’re not. You are resourceful with a capital “R” and enjoy helping customers while continually learning new things.

Specialist
Specialists research and craft answers to customer questions that fall into areas of their particular knowledge and interests. Working from a well formed question that the Expeditor delivers, the Specialist blazes a fast trail on the Web to an accurate answer from an authoritative source.

Your key distinction as a Specialist is in signing up for specific ChaCha Categories, so that you are first in line to receive incoming Questions that match your respective expertise. Because as a Specialist you’re able to focus your skills and energies on answering questions of greater familiarity, you can handle question volume faster and more efficiently.

Transcriber
Transcribers are the Guides who make ChaCha’s voice answer service the absolute smartest one anywhere. As a Transcriber, you listen to the voice questions that customers call into 1-800-2ChaCha and convert them to text questions.

You’re knowledgeable about people, places and things, and have sharp ears to interpret even muffled questions (possibly from a crowded subway or noisy restaurant). In other words, you’re far better than any computer at deducing what our customers are asking, and correctly interpreting nuances and names. (Note: This is not like being a telephone operator — you hear only recorded audio.)

I am a SMS Guide which is a generalist/specialist and I love it!

Great Gifts for under 10 dollars

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:46:00 +0000

Since we are in November I was thinking that maybe once a week or so maybe more that I would post gifts that I find that are under 10 dollars. I think with the budget so bad right now that everyone could use a little bit of penny pinching help. My first gift is this cute Mary Engelbreit gift set. You get 10 notecards with matching envelopes, a wire bound journal, and a list pad that is magnetic. All these cute items come wrapped in tissue paper and in a cute tin already to put a bow on and your gift is ready to go. They are only $8.00 before shipping. Find them at Giggles and Dimples.

I have been working on some new products and wanted to show them here. I hope that I can get some comments on what people think of them.

Please let me know what you think.

They Grow so fast!

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:20:00 +0000

My baby figured out how to use a spoon this weekend and really is enjoying using it all by herself. I was not sure if she could do it so I handed it to her and wow look at her go! They always seem to grow so fast and you blink and they are telling you "whatever" like my 9 year old is doing. I just had to share.

French Toast Casserole

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:09:00 +0000

I love to find new things to make for breakfast. Every child has eaten pancakes, waffles, toast. You know the basics. But I had to share this recipe that I found for French Toast Casserole. Even the picture makes it look yummy. I hope that those that love sweets and those that love to cook will try this one. Oh and if you do come back and tell me about it. I would love to hear your comments.

These are perfect for your child's backpack or messenger bag. Hard enough so that the crayons dont get crushed but thin enough to fit nicely into your backpack.

New Items

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:38:00 +0000

I have been working on some new purses for little girls. I have these four and each one of the sayings that I have on them can be used on any of these colors, dark Pink, Lavender, Purple, black, Turquoise, Teal and light pink. I made one for my niece in white with the princess part on it. I added a little hand made crochet wallet. She loved it so much. She is 3 and today she called crying to tell me someone stole it. I had to make her another one as fast as I could so she could come get it today. It was heartbreaking to hear her cry and to find out someone stole it, but made me happy that she loved it so much. My daughter loves them as well. My niece is 3 and my daughter is 5. I am finding that they are like in a range of ages for little girls. I have them up for auction on ebay right now asking $8.00. What do you think?? I would love comments.

I decided to think of other ways to use the diaper wipe case and thought of this back to school box. It comes with a pack of 8 crayons, 4 pencils, glue stick, eraser and some scissors. All the basics that kids need. It is thin enough to fit in a backpack and is hard plastic to make sure that nothing gets crushed. I have 6 kids in my house that are in school and I have made them all one for this up coming year and they love them. Please comment and tell me what you think. You can get these boxes at Cozy Cuddlez Buy now or Custom Order available.

New Item Little Girls Purse

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:48:00 +0000

I created this new purse to add to my product list. I think that this one is my favorite. I put Pink Fleece on the inside as the lining and it makes it so soft. It is hand crocheted and tightly done to give it the look of not being crocheted at all. I just adore the princess bling. This pictures doesn't give it the best look because that Princess part is very shiny. I have it up now on auction for $8.00 I hope that everyone thinks that is reasonable.

Tuesday Toot-My first Sale

noreply@blogger.com (mom2four) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:46:00 +0000

I am really not sure what to post for my Tuesday toot so I will share that a few weeks ago I left a few sample Diaper Wipe Cases at my local baby resale shop with some flyer's about my products and my website. Today when I woke up I had an email from a lady that grabbed my flyer and wanted to order a diaper wipe case that she needs by this Friday. I was very excited to read that email. I never thought that leaving them there would actually pay off. So that is my Tuesday Toot.
