Agloco

Letter regarding Agloco... skip if not interested.. :)

This note is mainly to offer you a chance to help build AGLOCO – it is a Member-owned Internet community.

Here is why I would like you to help. First – it is free. Second - it is quick and easy to join. Third – AGLOCO’s purpose is to get its members their share of the money generated on the Internet (i.e. you make money). And lastly – if you help build the AGLOCO network you can make much more.

Here is a link to sign up (it automatically records me as referring you with my ID BBBD0870) http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBD0870

AGLOCO works with a toolbar type software called a Viewbar. Privacy is very strict so no spyware, popups or spam.

As to how much money you can make, there is a study which says the average user should get $5 to $15 a month. (But less at the beginning.) Click here to read the report. http://simmonsreport.spaces.live.com

How much can you make helping to build the network? The Simmons Report predicts $30 per referral. I have 200, but a friend of mine RZ McCall has over 8,000. He has a great blog site http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com.

AGLOCO is in their beta phase which is the best time to help them build out the network. So please join now and help build the network. Have questions? Their website has all the details so go there http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBD0870 or ask me.

p.s. I hope to update the blog tonight with more pictures and so on. That last virus to run through the family REALLY set me back on keeping things updated!

1/5/07 Project 365 Picture


For some odd reason the "pearl" color of this makes it look like the edges were rolled in mud. I'm guessing this is something my 365 days of pictures is supposed to help me correct. :)
This is a picture of my birthing ball, which is often used during pregnancy and labor. It is GREAT for relieving pelvic and back pain during pregnancy. My midwife recommends sitting on it for at least 20 minutes and gently swaying side to side. I bought mine from www.doulaworld.com
The leg belongs to James. *g* James did a great job in school today and finished quickly!
"Momma's Ball" is a common fixture in the house, tho often borrowed by others. Noah, 21 months, likes to roll it around the house. He seriously looks like a crazy dung beetle from a Nature special. I think it's hilarious. We have a smaller one, but I realized that it wouldn't work for sitting at the table or desk. I'm only 5'3" but truly needed the large one to use as a "chair" so I could use it often. I highly recommend these to other moms-t0-be out there! I also purchased the Earth Mama Angel CD Labor Prep from there. Another really good buy!
Our To Do list is getting longer than the rest of the pregnancy. At least I'm making progress on "update blog" ;-)

This is my tart warmer from Yankee Candle. It is small, lives on the kitchen island, and adds a lot to our home!

It gets used a lot to hide all the odds and ends odors that come from a busy household.. especially where one is wearing diapers! hehe.

It sounds corny, but the kids LOVE to go to Yankee Candle and pick out new scents. After the tart is finished they get the hard wax to place in a drawer in their room.

My warmer needs a cleaning, the cocoa one left a ring.. but we've been too busy using it lately!

Catching up on my Photos! 1/3


Beans? What? Here is my picture for 1/3/07. Before the new year I started a yahoogroup for those interested in an Activity Bag Swap. The main idea being that moms would each make up 20 identical bags. Each bag would be a fun activity bag for a preschooler. They mailed them to me, then I packaged them up so each mom is receiving 19 different bags in return.
It worked out great! The boxes are slightly delayed due to a sick child in the family.. but should be out this week with no problems. I'm looking forward to hearing what others think of the bags. I've been letting Joseph (3) try them out and *all* of the children enjoy playing with them too. The biggest hit has been the homemade playdoh. I think that's hard to resist!
Btw, this sack is full of the leftover beans. I think they're going to glue them on paper to make a picture.

Day 2 of Project 365



Ohh.. how cliche for a mom to post a kid picture! lol. But, this sums up our day so nicely. I've been thinking about Noah's birth a lot and how our 'baby' will be a Big Brother in April. His birthday is late March, so he will barely be 2 yrs old when his sibling arrives.

We also spent New Year's Eve getting all of our school stuff ready for 2nd Semester. We started off fresh today and made quick progress through the work scheduled. It was a very good school day and then a very relaxing time off.

Throughout the day Noah climbed up into a chair and asked for crayons to color. This picture was snapped shortly before bedtime as he colored his last picture of the evening.

Day 1 of Project 365


I'm late! But.. I do have a picture!


My close friend had her baby yesterday and I minded her older daughter for her. To pass the time, while the girls (mine & hers) played, I worked on this baby blanket. This year is going to be very focused on our new arrival, so I thought it was very fitting for my 1st picture.
For those wondering what this is about.. I'm participating in Project 365 where a picture is taken each day.
