15 Minutes For Mom

Here are some more time saving tips:

Double up on appointments whenever you can. Try to make dentist appointments, haircuts, etc for more than one child at a time. It may feel like a hassle at the time but it will save you time in the long run.

Shop at off-peak hours, without kids if possible. Shopping without kids can be not only a break for you but a money saving tip! Without the kids you will save buy not buying those impulse items. Try shopping during the weeknights after 8pm when the store will be less empty and shelves stocked.

Visit the Articles section on CWAHM.com for great time-savings tips and back-to-school ideas!

Back to School!

Have your kids started school? My daughter is a kindergartener this year and she is loving it. I am trying to adjust to the new schedule and I feel like I'm not getting nearly as much done. I feel like I spend most of my day in the car! :)

I hope your kids are enjoying school or excited about it beginning if it's still around the corner!

In His Love,
Jill

* Here is something simple that we can all do to promote our businesses. Every bill that I send out, gas, electric, cable, visa, etc, I add one of my business cards in the envelope. Who knows where it will land. But you can be assured that someone will notice it!

* Lifestyle Your Business!

My daughter and I took her husband to the airport for an early flight. It was 5 am and we decided to have breakfast while we were out. I took my basket with 4 candles into the restaurant with me. I simply sat the basket on the table and took the lids off the jars. To make a long story short: I sold 3 candles and took orders for 3 more. These were all restaurant employees. The best time for this is in the off hours. When it's busy they don't have time to look. Moral of the story; Always have product, catalogs and samples with you whenever you leave the house.

“There was a janitorial custodial individual in the Detroit county schools about 10 or 15 years ago, and he made news upon his death because he gave a million dollars to the United Negro College Fund tells. He never made more than 30,000 dollars a year. His attitude toward money was different than other people who have that same amount of income and spend their entire life saying, ‘I never have enough money. I never make enough money.’ It’s not how much you make, it’s how you leverage what you have,” explains Catherine Eagan, a multimillionaire entrepreneur, former Vice President and Private Banking Officer, ordained minister, and financial coach.

More of us could do this if we had a little financial intelligence. If our parents didn’t teach us how money works (and chances are that they don’t know either), we probably will never learn how to manage our money. We’ll be strapped for cash our entire lives.

“The school systems do us a disservice,” says Catherine, “You can matriculate through 12 grades and never learn the practical task of managing money, and yet it’s something you do your entire life.”

After twenty years enjoying her work in the commercial lending department of a bank, Catherine realized that God wanted her to combine her love of finance with her love of teaching. “I believe I am called to help raise up the financial intelligence quotient so that people can really manage resources appropriately and as a result achieve success. It’s not how much you make, it’s how effectively you manage,” she says.

Many women rely on men to take care of the finances for them, but because 50% of women get divorced and almost all of the rest outlive their husbands, every woman must deal with money at some point in her life. Catherine says, “No woman should look to a man to solve her financial intelligent quotient.”

It’s a shame when we let men take care of our money, because research shows that women make more money at investing than men do. “When women actually begin to take on the mantle to invest, research shows that women are more profitable in investing than men, because they are less emotionally driven than men,” Catherine explains, “Men tend to take a higher level of risk and get in and out of different things, where women are more methodical.”

Through her free Wealthy Women seminars, Catherine teaches women about all aspects the financial world. She covers real estate investing, paying off debt, stocks, bonds, index funds, and more. She says, “I teach very practical information you can use almost immediately. How to buy a car, how to buy a home, how to look at rates, how to negotiate a deal. All of the basic, practical personal finance information that an individual should know, period.”

In addition, she covers information essential to today’s entrepreneurs. In the future, Catherine plans to talk about, “global economics and what that means for the United States of America. I think we are now truly in a global economy. People need to have a good working knowledge of what that means and be globally equipped financially. Otherwise, they may end up running into financial problems because they aren’t prepared for what it means to be a 21st century mom, employee or entrepreneur.”

Don’t forget to increase your financial intelligence quotient in other ways. Read books (I recommend starting with Dave Ramsey and Dr. C. Thomas Anderson, two Christian millionaires), open a small savings account that you’ll use for investing, and go to local SBA (Small Business Association) classes. We’ll keep struggling with our poverty mindset unless we learn a new way of thinking.

Writing with flair is easy when using pencils topped with one-of-a-kind decorations.

MATERIALS:
Pencils
Embroidery floss
Tape
Beads, charms or bells
Felt
Colored paper
Scissors

Time needed: 1 Hour

1. For a dangly decoration, tape the center of a 12-inch piece of embroidery floss to a pencil just below the eraser. Wind the ends of the floss around the pencil several times, then tie them together.

2. String beads, charms or bells onto the trailing ends. Tie overhand knots below the last beads to keep them from slipping off.

3. To make a fringed pencil top, cut out a 6-inch-wide felt circle with a 1/4-inch slit in the center and slip it over the eraser. Then, make a series of 2 1/2-inch cuts inward from the edge of the circle.

4. For a stand-up fringe, wrap and tape colored paper around the pencil end and snip downward through all the layers.

As I Have Loved You
by Nikki Arana

Jeff has finally met a girl that he truly loves. His mother, though, is convinced that Jessica is nothing but bad news. However, the more she pushes Jeff to stop seeing Jessica, the more determined he is to do so.

Jessica has lived a hard life, but says that she's come to believe in God through talking with Jeff. In the beginning of their relationship, she tells Jeff that she believes in God to get Jeff to trust her, to care for her. But over time, and through Jeff's love, she begins to think that maybe what he says about God is true. Can she change and become the woman Jeff believes her to be?

Nikki Arana's fourth novel is so close to real-life, readers may forget that their reading a fictional story. Arana's characters have a depth that causes the reader to truly care about what each character is struggling with.

While reading the portions of the book that are written through the eyes of Jeff's mother, I agreed with her point of view. Then the author would allow us to see things through Jeff or Jessica's perspective and I would come to understand things differently. It is a truly accurate portrait of family life and a situation that many readers may have dealt with in some fashion.

Well written and thought-provoking, this book will help readers realize that there are two sides to every story. Award-winning author Arana has penned a deeply moving story that is sure to touch many lives.
