Blue balls, anyone?

I’m years away from the sex talk, but here’s a funny precursor. My daughter loves balls. Blue balls. No, she hasn’t been traumatized by seeing my husband in his birthday suit. I’m talking about a set of good old-fashioned plastic balls. Two weeks ago, Emory’s Maw Maw bought her an inflatable castle filled with multi-colored plastic balls. She spends hours in her fortress, tossing balls in and out. But recently, we picked up on a trend. She only throws the blue balls. No purple. No yellow. No pi… Continue

Just Jill: Top Tips On Finding a Telecommuting Opportunity Today

My first step into the work-at-home world was as a data extractor for a company in my local area. Believe it or not, I found that job in the Classified Ads section of the newspaper. That, however, was ten years ago. Alot has changed in the last ten years - the internet alone has grown by l… Continue

Just Jill: The Mom Spotlight - Profiles of Successful CWAHMs (Christian Work-at-Home Moms)

I love reading the stories of other moms' success. I love to hear how they got started, how they've built their businesses and what they wish they would have known when they started out. There's nothing more powerful - or more encouraging - than a behind the scenes look at a fellow successful mom. So, today I thought I'd share with you one of those stories. I've known Megan for a while now. She's a professional organizer and now writes an organizational column for work-at-home moms on CW… Continue

7 Tips For Return to Work Moms

“I relaunch”, as in I was out of work for a period of time and now would like, or need, to go back to work. MyWorkButterfly.com had the great pleasure of being a media sponsor for the recent iRelaunch conference held this past week at Seton Hall University. I learned much that day from the founders of iRelaunch, Carol and Vivian, and from the corporate participants: Morgan Stanley, Accenture and Goldman Sachs representatives, all of whom embrace many of you who are return-to-work moms. Carol and… Continue

Just Jill: Something All My Own

Owning my own business has taught me many things about myself. I’ve learned that I can make wise business decisions, I can manage the accounts and taxes for my company, and I can type with one hand while holding a sleeping 6 month old. All of these things have helped me develop into a mu… Continue

Halloween Tricks and Contest Treats

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year- what a bonus for working moms! No need to race home from work to take your children door to door. No need to feel guilty that you can't make it home until past dark. Halloween is on Saturday this year- what a wonderful thing! My son is of the age where he thinks it's hysterical to dress up like a cheerleader and actually convinced me to buy him the outfit. Pom poms and all. My daughter, on the other hand, had her mind set on being Hannah Montana which mea… Continue

5 Tips: Get Teens Interested in Politics

Me: “Do you know who is Mitt Romney is?” 16 year-old: “Oh ya, isn’t he like some rock star….right?” Wrong. Many teens today, as well as adults are extremely unprepared and uninterested in the upcoming primaries and elections. As a 24 year-old, I can honestly say that I did not become interested in politics until more recently and wish that my friends and I had been more involved from an early age. It is really important that parents help their teens and kids become more involved and informed u… Continue

Just Jill: Practical Parenting for Weary WAHMs

There are many nights that I lay awake long after my husband begins snoring lightly beside me. My mind whirls as I think of all the ways I’ve failed that day. Phone calls and emails that didn’t get returned; laundry that didn’t make it from the basket to the dr… Continue

Just Jill: Sharing Your Faith With Your Customers

As Christians our faith is part of everything that we do and say. But, that can sometimes feel confusing when trying to apply it to our business life. How can we incorporate our faith into our businesses and share it with those we want to sell to? I wanted to get an… Continue

A Touch of Takiela: Special Needs Child Part II

When my husband and I first began our journey as parents to a special needs child, we shed more tears than I think either of us had in our lives up to that point. We cried together, we cried separate, we cried when we prayed for our daughter, and we cried when she cried. One night when I put our daugh… Continue

Teacup Parenting: Is your Child too Fragile?

We have all heard of helicopter parenting. You know, the kind of parents that are uber involved in every aspect of their child’s life and sort of buzz and run circles around them as they grow up. I work with a lot of parents and kids, I hear from a lot of parents and kids, and I spend all day reading about parents and kids today. Something about the term helicopter parenting wasn’t fitting right with the kinds of questions and problems that parents and youth bring to me and talk about. Teacup… Continue

Special Needs Child

Most of you know that I am a special needs mom because of the blog posts that I’ve written on Christian MomLogic. However, I am also the mother of a child that has special needs.

The Gift of Gab

Today I worked in the nursery at my daughters preschool. There were three adults in there, all talkers and only 6 kids. It was a fun morning. Two and a half hours of sharing. We talked about everything from grocery store coupons to childhood cancer. By the end of our time together something dawned on me… Continue

Just Jill: 4 Ways Busy Moms Can Make Time For God

In the weeks and months after having my first child I began to realize all of the ways that she had changed my life.

Carla's Corner The Greatest Commandment Part 1: All Your Heart

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, ((Mark 12:30). Why would the Bible distinguish heart, soul, mind, and strength? Because these attributes are distinct parts of the whole person, each with a different way of responding and l… Continue

Expressions of a Drama Tween

To all the mothers out there in cyber space (and beyond), if there is one area in our lives that we can all relate to when it comes to our children it’s COMMUNICATION. If you’re the mother of an infant, (especially one that’s a crier) you long for the days when they can simply tell you what’s wrong. If you’re the… Continue
