Lucky 8s - Let the Games Begin

August 8, 2008· Filed under Link Love

The number eight is lucky in China - so the fact that the Beijing Olympics are kicking off today - 8-8-08 is no coincidence! I have the Tivo set to record as much of the games as I can - don’t want to miss a moment - and I have made a list of the best places to catch all the Olympic action online, too.

Check out my coverage of the women of the games at Sports Girls Play - plenty of awesome pictures, my own reactions, and even some good deals!

For the kids - be sure to visit Printables4Kids for Olympic themed word searches, a medal count worksheet and coloring pages.

Tuesday Link Explosion

October 2, 2007· Filed under Link Love

My week has started off a little out of sorts but I am regaining composure quickly. I have a few things to share with you today so get that mouse warmed up!

• The Carnival of Family Life is up at Real Life. This weekly round up of the best family oriented links is getting bigger by the week. It is a great way to introduce your posts to a large and enthusiastic audience.
• Inspiration Bit hosted a Group Writing Project on time management strategies. More than 30 people shared their tips and techniques - be sure to check them all out! Mine is #11.
• The Family & Relationship Channel at b5media is gearing up for an amazing month of giveaway. Be sure to stop over and check out the enormous list of prizes and how you can get in on the action.
• Today is the last day to enter my giveaway for the Designher Gals gift certificate. If you are doing the Gal to Gal Walk, please let me know! The walk is in New York today.
• My daughter is home sick for the second day in a row so I did not get a Menu Plan Monday post done or a Monday Motivation post done either. However, I decided to share my favorite Sick Day Sanity Savers instead.

Wacky Wednesday Links Worth Mentioning

September 5, 2007· Filed under Link Love

I spent my morning with a stack of construction paper and a pair of scissors while helping out the Kindergarten resource teacher at the kids’ school.  As much as I enjoyed getting a chance to see the Kindergarten students and teachers in action (my hat’s off to you ladies - you are amazing), it kind of screwed up the way my day went.

So, here are some quick links for you:

• If you have a site that has a product/consumer type audience, then Auction Ads might be a good monetizing option for you. I have it running on a few of my sites and am really happy with it. Auction Ads is running a promotion for new publishers right now. Every new Auction Ads publisher that signs up will automatically get $25 put into their Auction Ads account to get the ball rolling.  This is a really good deal, especially with the holidays coming up. For complete details, check out the post I did about it at Essential Keystrokes.
• Vivien at Inspiration Bit is running a Group Writing Project that I think many of my readers can relate to - it is on the topic of Time Management. How do you juggle it all? What are your sanity strategies and downfalls. This is a project that you have all month to work on - check out the specifics and get writing!
• Did you see Island Review’s beautiful new design? Love it!
• Oh, WorkFromHomeMomma did a really nice interview on me last week. Laura has done a great job on that blog and I highly recommend you stop over and check it out.
• Have you got a tidy desk? If so, show it off at the Organising Queen’s tidy desk contest. If your desk looks like mine does right now, use this as an excuse to take a before and after photo enter like Laura did.
• And while you are in an organizing mood, don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a MomAgenda Desktop Planner and Kitchen Folio. You know you want one!
