We learned a lot from this and it tells the story of how the animals were chosen, you can find out which year of the animal you were born under and check out the personality traits.
This is just a lot of fun, and the kids will love learning this fascinating story1 It's also real cool to see which year of the animal everybody in your family was born in, see if you match up with the personalities, and the characters are just simply adorable!

Grants for Single Mother Tips
I found this neat website, and was super excited to see a site, geared towards single moms, and advice for how they can apply for and receive grants!
It is very new and only has a few members, so it would definitely be a fun site to join! Especially if you have any expertise to share, maybe links, suggestions, tips, any past experiences, share stories of success, hopes, dreams, or if you are looking for help in finding good, reliable information!
i always love to see communities like this one, and since this one is just starting out, I hope some of you can add to their content, and share anything you may have to share!
The site owner has a cool set up, with a Bookmarks tab, a blog tab, groups, and posts!
This would also be a neat place to share your blogs, advice on blogging, anything that would help single moms with how to earn, or learn;)
Please leave comments here and let me know if you signed up, what did you share? I did read a couple good articles over there, written by members, and I hope to see this site gain new members soon!!

Social Media Revolution
As a blogger, and a mom, and well, just as a 38 year old female, I rely on friends, family members, online friends, other bloggers, comments and posts on Twitter, Facebook, stacks on Delicious, Youtube, Google+, Pins on Pinterest, and communities online, for news and reviews and information on where my money is going to be spent for myself, my kids, my family, gifts, household goods, doctors, dentists, cell phones, computers, laundry detergent, etc etc etc.
I am a big mouth, lol, and I love to share my thoughts, feelings, ideas, reviews, and help people find a product or service or book that works for them.
I have always been that person who gets calls, (emails, or texts nowadays), or just shopping at the grocery store, people will ask, "Have you ever tried this?", "This is new, have you seen it before?", all kinds of questions like this. So, me, I love to help others, especially love to talk and hold conversations with anybody I meet, will chat away and share all I know about the specific brand, product, anything, along with referring them elsewhere if need be.
I have been a bartender for 20 years, I was a waitress for 4 years before I started bartending, and a few more years after. Mainly because, yes, I was a talker and made a decent amount in tips;)But, I actually enjoy going to work, because I enjoy talking to people, studying people, and learning about them.
Blogging is pretty similar to me in those aspects. I really have a fun time with it, and I especially love how there are endless possibilities here!! Most importantly, I want to help small business, stay at home moms, direct sellers, my favorite brands, stuff, services, my kids favorite stuff, my favorite websites, and all of that fun stuff!!
I have been studying social media and social networking and came across some very detailed, and interesting videos, that may come as a surprise to some, I know the numbers to me, were like, WOW?? REALLY?? But, after research and more research and digging more, yes, this is real, and if you aren't doing this now, for your small business, you should start!!
I do offer book reviews and product and service reviews on my other blog, sometimes here as well, although this one is more to help others find the best deals, coupons, recipes, share other blogs, businesses, how to earn money online, without falling for scams, etc etc...But, I also offer advertising help, promotions, articles, backlinks, sharing, pinning, and all the cool stuff that social media has for us. It is a POWERFUL way to get your business out there, if you make baby clothes, quilts, design websites, what better way to get the word out, then WORD OF MOUTH??
There are over 200,000,000 blogs out here, and 34% of us, review your products, services, and post our opinions and thoughts and share them across our social networks;)

Hiring a blogger, whether it be somebody tiny like me, (and believe me, I work hard at this everyday, to obtain quality friends, readers, and strategically place your links, ads, reviews, across our network;), or a much bigger blogger, whether you pay a few bucks, or a few hundred, or just offer us stuff to review, giveaway, is very beneficial!!
You have a lifelong friend with bloggers and our readers, and your ads and links and pictures and videos, will be shared over and over and over and over and over and over, for ever;p
If you need or want help, some of the services we provide here and on our www.busymommylist.com blog, and on Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Delicious, Theblogfrog, and our RSS subscribers, are articles, backlinks, pictures, video, reviews, hosting giveaways, starting and running your social networks for you, shout outs, and lots more to come!!

Arts 'n Quilts: My quilts
Arts 'n Quilts: My quilts: Whole-cloth Railroad quilt Georgia in Bloom 3rd Prize winner - Retro sampler hand pieced & quilted Kimberly's Travel Journal quilt Totall...
These are all so beautiful!!
I wish I had talent like this, I love quilts, and honestly never thought much about how much time and effort and planning and thoughtfulness, goes into them until I started reading this blog!!
It's amazing to me, how somebody can just throw these together!! (not that they are just thrown together, lol, by any means!! ) I just know I would be sitting here for a few years trying to put something like this together!!

Save Time with TaskCat a Task Management App for Apple iPhone's
How cool is this?? I don't personally have an iPhone, but I wish I did! I would love to have an app like this for my cell!
Most importantly, you could save lots of time, and headaches and hassle;)
TaskCat is a FAST and SIMPLE task list productivity App for the iPhone and iPad designed with the busy bee in mind. Only 99 cents at the AppStore!
Taskcat is gesture-based task management application, designed specifically to give greater visibility. Rather than tapping between menus and submenus, a single swipe can navigate between lists, while keeping tasks fully visible.
Spend less time looking for the right list to add a reminder. Spend less time tapping to review what to do. Spend more time actually doing and crossing things off.
I really love this idea, and the cat is super cute! I wish there was something for emails and email folders, and my binder to do list!
They have a very cool tutorial on this page, you have to see how sweet this is!!
I am in the market for one of these phones, and I promise you that this would be the first app I pick up, why? Because if something is going to save me even 10 minutes of time per day, 1 less headache, AND cost 99 cents to do it? I'm hiring:) It sometimes takes me with my non iPhone, so long to get what I need in there, set, even to find in my menu, UGH!! I really feel like giving up on technology sometimes, but things like this give me hope.
If there is somebody out there, with busy moms, and busy people, in mind, and they are working on apps that can make my hectic, crazy life more simple, that makes me want to spend the money on an iPhone.
Besides all of that, one thing that I always blog about is small business. We all have to stick together and help each other! Small business is what makes this country great! It's the hard work and the skills, and the respect and the decent Americans who are what makes us work!
Every time you are going to do business with anybody, for any reason, you will always get the best customer service, attention, care, respect, and prices, then anywhere else.
If you aren't an iPhone user, but you know somebody who is, pass this post on to them! This is a genuine, awesome attempt, at making busy people's (aka BUSY MOMS:), lives, easier, and that deserves super respect!!
PS: Read this page about this amazing small business;)

The Chartful Dodger Steps to Financial Freedom
I have been searching and searching for legitimate information, books, pages, sites, anything that would actually help my readers and myself. I believe I have finally found it, and was especially happy to find that The Chartful Dodger also links to Dave Ramsey sites. We all know Dave Ramsey is the master at paying off debt, and becoming financially secure.
This site has lots of valuable information on it, along with links, videos, charts and contact forms!
I will be linking and updating regularly to The Chartful Dodger, and will be announcing a very sweet deal for anybody who would like to grab a trading system where you can pick the best of the best of stocks, very soon;)
After all, my goal with my blogs, was to help others become financially secure in the way of learning couponing tips, how to earn legitimate money online, menu planning, how to grab enough from those pay to do survey and points sites, to help with holidays, birthdays, school clothes, find freebies, and so much more. So, I am loving this partnership with The Chartful Dodger!
The website offers good info and advice with links to back them up, and charts and the Youtube video above.
Of course not all of you may be interested in the Stock Market, yet, but if there is a way to actually learn how to earn money the right way, why not? If you can take these methods and learn how to become financially secure, maybe you can grab a few small shares. Especially with the news of Facebook shares last week, there are a lot more people interested and starting to wonder and think about learning this art;) I know I am!!
You can also check out The Chartful Dodger's Facebook page here!
Please leave comments and let me know what you think! Have you visited this site? What did you think of the video?
I will keep updated with this site and announce a money saving deal in just a bit!
