			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My husband and I love to travel.  On our list of must-see places are Italy, Spain and the UK.  There is so much to learn and experience when visiting different countries.  The world somehow becomes bigger than what we think when we immerse ourselves into the different cultures and norms of people.</p>
<p>When planning for major vacations, I diligently scout for reasonably-priced plane fares and good accommodation.  It is good that there are websites that offer specific accommodation and transportation services for the country of your choice.  If you are looking for <a title="hotels" href="http://www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/Italy/Rome/" target="_blank">hotels in Rome</a>, <a title="hotels" href="http://www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/Spain/Barcelona/ " target="_blank">hotels in Barcelona</a>, <a title="hotels" href="http://www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/United-Kingdom/London/" target="_blank">hotels in London</a> or even <a title="hotels" href="http://www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/Netherlands/Amsterdam/ " target="_blank">Hotels in Amsterdam</a>, the search is now made easy because of these travel websites.</p>
<p>Now, the only thing we need to achieve our travel plans are lots of vacation leaves and tons of money! Hee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">One of the more popular gift suggestions for any special occasion is cakes or pastries.<span> </span>Who can resist a yummy bite of chocolate chip cookies or, choco mud cake or a plain chocolate crème cake?<span> </span>It’s obvious that I’m partial with chocolate. Hee.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a title="LHBakery" href="http://laurashousebakery.com" target="_blank">Laura’s House Bakery</a> located in Blue   Ridge Mountains, North Carolina sells a variety of treats from cookies, cakes to jams.<span> </span>They make these delectable goodies on site so the customers are assured of quality.<span> </span>Laura’s bakery has an online ordering system and they allow international orders as well.<span> </span>According to their website “they ship anywhere around the world”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They accept small to wholesale orders; usually restaurants or hotels make mass orders of these desserts.<span> </span>I can tell from their site that their best offers are their cakes, brownies and cookies.<span> </span>What caught my eye though are those bottled jams.<span> </span>I love them especially strawberry and grape jams.<span> </span>However, I have only tried commercially-sold jams, never homemade.<span> </span>From Laura’s bakery’s website, those goodies look homemade and they are not expensive at all.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A good selling point of this bakery is having their business listed as one of the best bakeries in foodnetwork.com. <span> </span>I am now craving for these delicious desserts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of our friends is inviting me to join her in a business venture.  I can’t share all the details here but just a hint, it has something to do with babies/children must-haves.</p>
<p>When she shared her ideas, I got excited.  I thought this could pave the way for me to have my own business and work from home.  I broached to her the concept of marketing/selling online.  With the potential of this business and if we acquire a reputable <a title="ashopcommerce" href="http://www.ashopcommerce.com" target="_blank">online store software</a>, I’m sure our (future) business will be safe.</p>
<p>There is this popular ecommerce software called ashopcommerce.com.  It is a complete suit of shopping cart software.  Its complete features make it an award winning shopping cart software.  The functions are user friendly and the best part is it is customizable.  Imagine being able to make design changes to suit your business image?  It will definitely draw more customers to make purchases.</p>
<p>However, this business concept needs further brainstorming.  If we want to take this seriously, we need to give more time and focus to draw up a plan.  How I wish this part is as easy as signing up for the online store.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Now that I have lost a lot of weight, thanks to my housework routine and my very active toddler, I am grateful that I never had to take pills like <a title="phentermine" href=" 	http://www.consumerpricewatch.net/phentermine.php" target="_blank">phentermine without a prescription</a>.<span> </span>It is scary to think of the side effects, which is why it is best to consult a doctor before popping these pills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the more popular paid sites is <a title="PPP" href="http://www.payperpost.com" target="_blank">PayPerPost</a>.  As soon as my account was approved, I immediately signed-in and took a quick look at the website’s features, navigation and tools.</p>
<p>What I like best is the facility to see all the available opportunities whether you are qualified to take it or not.  Being qualified means that your blog meets the requirements of the advertiser, like PR ranking and domain restrictions.  Then there is a button for “qualified” opportunities.  All you need to do is refresh it every now and then to see what you can work on for the day!  So how much money you make depends entirely on you, on how much time you want to spend writing posts for the ads.  It is that easy to <a title="PPP" href="http://payperpost.com/bloggers/get-paid-to-blog.html" target="_blank">get paid to blog</a>.</p>
<p>On the main page, there is a portion called “Top Earners”.  Once you see how much these guys have made, for sure you will be challenged to do better and earn more!</p>
<p>But as I have shared in my personal blog, paid blogging requires commitment.  If you want to make good money, you have to make sure that your site has good visitor traffic and that you have a good PR ranking.  Well, now that this site went from 2/10 to zilched as in unranked, I hope this will improve in the next round of Google PR updates.<br />
