Laundry tidbit

Well, as long as I've been doing laundry, I did not know this.

After you use bleach in your whites in the wash, use the coolest dryer setting and don’t over dry to keep whites their whitest.

I always assumed you would use the hottest setting like you do with the water, learn something new everyday. :-)

I found the tip from a website article on Smart Moms ~ Smart Business, to see the whole article full of tips click here.

My best networking tip



Topic: Your Best Networking Tip

My networking tip is not so much on where to network, but more of a word of caution. Networking is a powerful tool to promote your business and well worth the effort. However, you still need time to actually run your business. Schedule time each day. Make a plan, where you will network, with who and how much time you will spend. And stick to it. This will help you prioritize the networking you do because it creates a "time is of the essence" mentality.

Blogtipping for September



After perusing all these great blogs I have been linked to from a new forum I found (more info on them coming soon), I have found a lot of great activities to keep the blog fun and updated regularly. So, here is the latest, Blogtipping.

Blogtipping Definition: Blogtipping is where you publish a blog post in which you link to three unsuspecting blogs and offer three compliments and/or one helpful tip to each blogger. (Or adapt those numbers to your own preferences; the principle of selflessness is what matters most here.) Blogtipping is a refreshing and useful surprise that can start a blogger’s month with a huge smile!

My Tip:

I am going to tip the blog that I discovered this on, 4fabmoms.

1. LOVE the Smart Moms Professional series!! I got to listen to some of the one on blogging, but can't wait until I have some time free of babies to listen and take notes.

2. I appreciate that the blog is not overloaded with advertising, I find those hard to read.

3. The blogroll has a nice selection of blogs, I have found some very helpful information in them.
