Cutie Pies Custom Creations was created in 2004. After owner, Jennifer, a former elementary school teacher, had her second son, she felt her heart tugging at her to stay at home with her two boys. Jennifer needed to create a plan that would allow her to stay at home with her children and still contribute to her family financially. She then decided to turn her passion of creating stationery for friends and family into reality when she started selling her creations on Ebay. After a year of selling on Ebay, Jennifer branched out and opened up a website.

Cutie Pies Custom Creations offers a wide variety of Stationery and Cards. Some of my faves are:



Save The Date Photo Card Damask Sage and Brown

Merchant Moms

When I decided to open MarieLynn Boutique on the web, I was overwhelmed by the thousands of Web Site Hosting Services that are available. I looked through many of the companies out there, and walked away even more confused and overwhelmed. Where could I find an easy to use, affordable service? All of these companies used techie terms and I found myself googling the meaning to these words way too often.

Then I came across Merchant Moms. Here was a site who used words and terms I actually knew the meaning to! They even had a demo site, so I could try my hand at this whole new world of selling my products online. After making my decision to join Merchant Moms, I chose the Basic Plan, which happens to be Merchant Moms best seller! Why wouldn't it be? It's only $12.99 each month, which if you do the math, is less than $0.50 a day!

So here I was with a great Web Site Host, I registered my domain, and I even had a free e-commerce shopping cart. Now what do I do? I uploaded the pictures to my site, but there is a box here for me to input a Meta Title and Description. What the heck is a Meta Title?!? So I joined the Merchant Moms community, which is also free. I read through the forums and all of the posts from fellow online business owners. That is how I came to know Sherri Owen, who eventually took over Merchant Moms after having worked for the previous owner as a Tech Support.

Sherri is my hero, not only did she give me great advice on what I needed to do to get started, she explained it in a way that even I understood. When I asked Sherri to describe Merchant Moms this is what she said, "Merchant Moms offers a complete package that includes web site hosting, domain registration, and an e-commerce shopping cart site builder designed with the (WAHM) Work At Home Mom (and Dad) on a budget in mind. This whole package allows a person to be able to build their ecommerce website from their internet browser and not have to download a complicated program to their computer. Accounts are set up so fast that people can get started building right away." She also stated that, "Merchant Moms was founded to fill a need - an easy ecommerce system for anyone. We wanted people to feel empowered by their own creations, to have control over their own web site rather than having to pay (often very high fees) for someone to do it for them and wait for it to be done. Is it work? You bet it is, but it is something that anyone who wishes to do, can do. They simply need to use the tools provided, and feel free to ask for help when needed, the help is here."

Sherri would also like for you to know that, "We pride ourselves in having a phenomenal customer support team and a wonderful network of women that are willing to help one another reach their goals to succeed. We invite you to read some of our testimonials that are a testament to this. There is never a charge for support or training. The support desk is available for technical questions, the forum for simpler how-to questions, and I do answer the telephone. It's possible that you may hear background noise when you call -- it may be a daughter who is still learning not to interrupt, or very talkative and funny birds. But, I always take the time to spend with you and address your questions.
I have personally been a work at home mom for seven years or so, and wish it for anyone who also wants it for their families. It takes dedication and patience to work for yourself, but so very worth it all! " Although I've never had to call Sherri, I have found myself posting a question on the forum at 3am on a Saturday night and getting a quick response! Where else can you find friendly, patient, and knowledgeable women at 3am?

I definetly think that choosing Merchant Moms to start MarieLynn Boutique was the best decision that I made. I encourage all men and women who are looking to open an online business to check out Merchant Moms. Try out their demo, ask questions. I guarantee that you won't find anything else that can even compare to the type of professionalism, knowledge, and support that Merchant Moms provides.

How To Choose Quality Books For Your Children

Do your children enjoy storytime before bed? Are you tired of reading the same old story just different characters? Are you looking for books targeted to young children that actually contain substance? If so, please read this article written by Heidi Rosenberg. When you are finished, check out her website, Barefoot Books. They are having a Winter sale that ends February 2nd.


How to Choose Books For Children

By Heidi Rosenberg

When purchasing books for the lovely children in our lives the highest priority should be to seek out books with meaningful content. Try to avoid poor quality and commercialism.
Go back in time when my generation (children of the 70's) and older were growing up. Almost all the books were good quality books, with great content. I am sure you still remember some to this day. In the 80's two things happened, big publishing houses and mass retailers! Because of this profit margins became the driving force for the production of books. All of a sudden books became based on TV cartoons, video games and general commercialism.
So getting back to the question, how do you choose good quality books for children when there are so many books out there?
1. Seek out books that you remember from your childhood. (House that Jack built, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Hen, Three Billy Goats Gruff and many more)
2. Look for new books that will build on important values for your family. 3. Avoid books that will take the child back to the television or computer.
4. Give your child good quality books. 5. Read to your child and enjoy good quality time together. Books with music CDs are a great way to enjoy a story.
Barefoot Books, a small independent company that started in 1993 by two working mothers, Nancy Traversy and Tessa Strickland has the vision and goals to publish and share books, gifts and arts that promote children’s love for learning, independence of the spirit, multiculturalism and protection of the environment. Barefoot Books products include award-winning books, music cds and colorful artworks that appeal to children and all children at heart.
About the Author
Written by Heidi Rosenberg I became an independent stallholder for Barefoot Books in September 2008. I have two young children and we love reading together. Being an independent stallholder has given me the opportunity to stay home with my children but still earn a little bit of spending money. We love the books; they have such great artwork and fantastic stories and many of the books have facts for the reader in the back.
