The Inspired Mom!

media — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:57:07 +0000

A friend of mine came to pick my brain a couple years ago about an idea she had…
We chatted over coffee, I gave my honest opinion and shared some “dos & don’ts” about starting an on-line business. She is sooo busy as a mother of 3 young boys, but somehow makes time to be a spin instructor, community leader, business owner and Inspired Mom. She started writing inspirational stories on her blog while she worked behind the scenes on her fabulous business is in the making. After 2 years in development, I am soooo proud of the highly anticipated launch of MyOwnLittleStory.com

What is My Own Little Story?
A completely unique approach to recording your child’s most precious moments. Their exclusive “Milestone Memory System” is a completely free service that reminds you, via email, to record milestones and narratives in your child’s life. (you pay for the finished book that you create over the years)

I only wish the service was offered when my babies were born! It is it is a brilliant idea and something I just had to share
with all of you. Spread the word, suscribe for FREE.

the minck boys

Let’s continue with our contest winners! Here is our second pick from last month’s “We Love Your Cover” contest! Julie Minck chose our Taffy Life Planner in our popular Mocha/Pool colorway. Here’s what Julie had to say about her darling photo!:

“The story behind the picture is simple. Seize the opportunity! It is hard to get four boys to take a Christmas Photo so one night before bed when they were all clean I grabbed my camera and there you have it!” – Julie

Thanks & Congrats Julie!

the matthaidess family

Hi everyone! Here is our first pick from the “We Love Your Cover” contest! Lori Matthaidess chose our Name in Lights Life Planner, and we customized it to match the colors in her photo. Didn’t it turn out great? Here’s what she chimed in:

“This year when I saw on your website that you could add a photo, and I knew exactly which one to add. We are avid Iowa Hawkeye fans and every year have season tickets. The kids love to go with us to a few games. It was so much fun to create the cover of my new planner with our family picture and coordinate the colors with it. As any busy mom knows, your planner is your lifeline. If it isn’t in there, it doesn’t get done!” – Lori

Thanks & Congrats Lori!

1-Stop Wrapping Spot!

I was in Costco the other day bargain hunting, and I found this! It’s a ‘Portable Wrap & Craft Center’ from Snapware (the makers of the snap&seal tupperware). It’s a storage solution for your gift wrapping supplies, with space for up to 36 rolls of wrap, a ribbon dispenser, built in ruler.. etc. The best part is that it’s got table legs that fold out, so the container becomes a tabletop! You can wrangle your gift wrapping chaos into just one area! Sounds mighty good to me. Looks perfect for the upcoming season.

Before you know it, summer will be over and the sunny days will fly by into Fall. I prefer to use this time of year to plan, organize and prepare for the crazy months ahead when the time between Halloween and the Holidays is a total blur.

With sooo many new features and options to create the perfect, personalized organizer… those that have already received their orders are RAVING!
