The Job of Baby Proofing

March 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Miscellaneous

This post is brought to you by your friends at Kidsafeinc.com.

One thing I have struggled with as a parent to two boys is the ability to child proof the home. It seems that no matter how hard I try the boys, even Baby K at age 18 months, are able to get into everything I try to child proof! My daughter never really got into anything but I lived in a very child friendly subsidized housing condo type unit where there was very little for her to get into. As a mother of three I have since bought a house and although it’s child safe, the boys still attempt to get into everything they possibly can.

After talking to my Dad this weekend, I have decided that every day I have my children I will be setting my alarm clock to get up at 5am so that I am awake and ready for the day before they get a chance to get out of bed. It seems Mister AJ who is 3 and a half has decided to get out of bed before me and never wakes me up, which obviously is not very safe having him roam the house alone. So now my new weekly plan is to be out of bed and make sure I am awake before them or sleep on the couch so that I am in the middle of the house and will be woken up when Mister AJ sneaks over his baby gate.

I wanted to share my story because I heard about a company that offers products every parent needs and they are called Kidsafeinc.com.

Searching for a Job Virtually

March 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Miscellaneous

As a virtual assistant I know how easy it is to succeed from working from home, however, what if you are out of a job and looking for that perfect job but locally it is hard to get out there and file applications? There are many online places you can go and register to start searching for the right job that offer career advice and help you to find a job faster!

I personally love working from home but that is not to say that I still don’t want to have assistance with career advancement options, because training and step by step tutorials can help me be a better personal assistant virtually to my clients. Just as this service would assist the person looking for work outside of the home.

Today we are in a position where so many are losing their jobs and having to live on less money than normal while the cost of goods are rising. Those who are not making the money they need in their current position may be looking for a career change and there are many places online that will assist you in getting the tools and knowledge needed to acquire the skills to get into a new career path. I wish you much success in getting the training and knowledge to make it in this high price world we are living in!

Happy Friday

March 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Brandy's Life

It’s Friday, the sun is shining outside and all I can think of is Spring is near. I love the idea of lilac’s being in bloom, they are my favorite in the whole wide world. I love the idea of being able to clean up my yard and maybe having a garden this year. I doubt I will ever get the garden idea going, but hey it’s just a thought!

I love the idea of being able to take 2 hour walks everyday and not freeze my butt off. I am excited about the chirping of the birds first thing in the morning. Those morning doves that sound like they are saying “who cooks for who” .  Really Spring is near and I can’t wait!

Fall is my favorite season by far, but Spring will do because I am ready for the snow to be melted away and ready for that mud if I have to deal with it to be warm & feel the sun shining in my face! This weekend I have no children and I am not sure what I will do but if it’s nice out you can bet you will find me cleaning like crazy and if I can opening some windows, oh yeah I am ready, are you?

How Weather Affects My Life

March 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Miscellaneous

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of AccuWeather. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am constantly watching the weather, especially with Winter heading out and Spring coming in, I want to see whether the weather is going to be sunny and warm or cold with precipitation. My children are ready to get outside and enjoy the outdoor life again, but in order to do so we must keep a close eye on the weather forecasts.

When it comes to planning an outdoor playdate I usually make sure to review the weather forecast prior to confirming any plans. If you are not up to date with the weather and you make plans to go on a playdate with your kids and then have to cancel on the children for the playdate due to bad weather, they are going to be very upset about the whole situation. Weather isn’t too bad here in NH but there can be days of rain and snow depending upon the season and I don’t like to make plans without first consulting the weather forecast!

The new AccuWeather site makes it easier to review the radar, local weather and if travelling it allows me to look at the next state over to ensure weather is okay when we visit family in Vermont. I love the AccuWeather site because it gives you weather at the click of a button and the site is very easy to navigate!

Yes We Work From Home

March 4th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Blogging Support, Work At Home Support

I had a poll live on my site a little while back to find out who works from home strictly and who does both a job outside of the home & work at home. It seems the poll has brought my attention to the fact that out of all the people who took the poll (22 people) that 16 of them or 73% work strictly from home only.

It appears that as there are more layoffs and employers stop giving pay increases to their employees that family’s are left to be creative and find a new form of income. If you think like I do, you want to make a living so that you can support your family but you don’t want to be in a position where you are working your butt off only to be laid off or removed from the position as soon as you get to the high pay rate. It sounds horrible but it happens all the time, employer’s find a way to remove the high paying, long time, loyal employees to find young, cheap help that will work for lower rates than any long term employee would work for.

You could sit back and think about how messed up that situation is or you could be proactive and think “what can I do to support my family?”. That is the question I asked myself a few years back and really pushed that question in 2008, I knew I needed to be financially independent so that I could support my children in a way that would show them Mama works hard to take care of us. Sure enough I founded HappilyBlended.com, AskBrandyEllen.Blogspot.com and Brandy Ellen’s Business Solutions all at the end of 2008 through mid 2009!
