I’ve been tagged by Tammy over at Articles Plus with the Meme, 5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me.

Meme’s are excellent networking tools and writing muses. I like the idea so much for the FreelanceMom Network that I’ve opened a category just for this type of post.

As for Tammy’s answers — I never, truly, would have guessed that Tammy is shy. She’s a successful business owner and interacts with so many people — but I totally relate! It’s much easier for me to come out of my shell online then in ‘real life’. Addicted to General Hospital! LOL - This is truly the fun in this kind of Meme. We really never would have known that little tidbit about Tammy otherwise…

Here are 5 things you might now know about me:

1. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 17.
2. I am the mother of 4. I had my first child at 20 years old and waited a whole TEN years to have baby number 2.
3. In a former life I wrote poetry.
4. I have travelled all over India twice. Once staying for an entire year.
5. I never watch television during the day… but I am absolutely addicted to the show ‘House’ and currently have my Blockbuster Online que filled with all the episodes from series 1 and 3.

So friends, that I’m sure gives you a better glimpse at who I am! Now come on out of your shells and let us know about you!

I’m going to tag the following bloggers:

1. UBQueenBee
2. Cassie
3. Groovy Lady (I just can’t imagine what she’ll write!)
4. Lisa
5. Jen - It’s been FOREVER since I’ve heard anything from her…

And YOU! Even if you aren’t tagged, you still can do the Meme… Be sure to let us know you did so we can see your answers

I came across a good work at home blog today. What drew me in was the practical tips he was offering entrepreneurs about incorporating your business and such in this post.

When I got done reading I saw a link about promoting your home business and think what he’s offering here is very cool. All you website Moms may want to get in contact with him and see if you can take advantage of his kind home business promotion offer.

Thanks Joe!

One of our Networking Friends, Revkah, has some really good prices on this type of work and the designs look right up many WAHM’s alley

Check her site out over at RS Designs. I love it when WAHM’s can support eachother and both move forward with their businesses.

Lots of Moms I meet are promoting one bizop or another. Often they are using the same website template as all the other members in their BizOp. I think it’s smart to get a completely unique website that you can provide information on and optimize for search engines, etc.

A FreelanceMom forum member, LisaMommy, was requesting feedback on her site. When I saw it I thought other bizop entrepreneurs could benefit from the idea. Lisa’s site is NaturalUses.

What do you think?

THIS is a great example of someone putting quality effort into their blog. I came across it this morning by means of a google news alert. I was drawn in by the blog post ‘Balancing Work and Family as a Home Based Entrepreneur’ because obviously that is something we FreelanceMoms are constantly struggling with.

I’ve always preferred the term ‘Balancing’ to ‘Juggling’ though. Balance implies that at times we notice something isn’t being tended to and we adjust our focus. Whereas juggling implies that everything is ‘up in the air’.

I have felt both ways Freelancing - especially in the beginning stages of building my business when I definitely would lose focus on the whole reason I am working from home.

Enjoy

I just came across a post by Laurie over at HomeBusiness123 on starting a VA business. Virtual Assistants are becoming more and more popular — it’s really an amazing door that has opened up for women who want to continue developing their professional skills from home.

I’ll be interested in keeping tabs on Laurie’s blog and seeing what other good work from home ideas she comes up with!

I’m so excited about this new FreelanceMom.com Blog Networking project! The more I delve into the blogosphere, the more really great blogs I find out there by work at home Moms.

My goal is to offer a space where WAHM bloggers can network together, share their blogs, promote eachother, comment on eachothers blogs and just get to know eachother.

You can’t have too many friends!

Thanks for joining - it’s going to be fun!

Lori
