. . . you keep your nails short so you can type faster and blog more efficiently.
. . . you learn to type with one hand, eat with the other, and read to your toddler with a book open on your lap all at the same time (and doing all 3 well too).
. . . you just don't feel right not having at least one post published every calendar day.
. . . you need to use a DayRunner to organize your blog-related activities.
. . . you have to get your blog post in for the day even if it's a holiday.
. . . you are sick in bed and you only get out of bed to use the bathroom and to make your daily blog post (well . . . unless you have a laptop).
. . . you have clothing or jewelry with your blog's name on it.

Pitch Bloggers, the brainchild of Trisha Haas, is an innovative new website that offers a platform where PR reps and the mom blogger can come together. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect on Pitch Bloggers . . .
1) Reviewers can post links to reviews and contest posts they have authored and of which they are especially proud.
2) Both reviewers and PR reps have the opportunity to introduce themselves to all members.
3) PR reps may post opportunities openly, PM specific bloggers to make contact personally, or request to have their opp posted in a forum for bloggers' eyes only.
4) Both PR reps and bloggers will have private forums in which they can exchange feedback about their experiences with those they have worked with in the past.
5) All approved bloggers must agree to the six points of the Ethics Agreement, therefore all participating bloggers are considered ethical bloggers.
PR reps can sign on with Pitch Bloggers by filling out the PR Rep Registration form and paying a monthly fee. As of now, this network is free to review bloggers, so I encourage you to take advantage of this and get your blogger applications in as soon as possible.

A short while ago, I shared with my readers an extremely easy recipe for cinnamon rolls. Well, I am so honored to have that blog post buzzed on the Ohana Mama blog by Erin of the Mom Buzz. Thank you for the mention ladies! I hope other people find that recipe as easy and tasty as I do.

"Hello! My name is Mr. L. T. Bag. I don't get used as often as most laptop bags, but when they do let me out of that lonely dark closet, I certainly do get to go on some fun adventures. My owner must think very highly of me. He always takes me on the plane with him when he travels. He depends on me to carry his ever-important laptop, but also he crams all my pockets full of random things. I have carried anything from snacks to toiletries to magazines. I love going on these adventures, but sometimes I think my owner doesn't consider my feelings at all. Tell me the truth, my leather is starting to stretch and look saggy, isn't it?"

In a world that has quickly accepted the vast possibilities of cyberspace, there appears to be a new trend for higher education. Online Degrees have become almost as common as shopping, chatting, blogging, and playing computer games online. In fact, the number of people taking online classes verses how many are enrolled in conventional college classes is 5-to-1. This statistic came as quite a surprise to me even though I fully participate in many online activities. Take a look at all the online classes that are available. It really makes sense for someone who does not have the time nor the money to attend a traditional university.

I belong to a forum where there are many members who are mom bloggers and WAHMs. The biggest complaint I hear is that there just is not enough time to get everything done everyday. I myself am a WAHM who also has three blogs. I stay up until at least 1am working on my business or writing for my blogs because I just do not get enough uninterrupted time during the day. It's so funny that just this morning, I read a post by Trisha of MomDot saying that she probably types the equivalent of 5 hours per day. I don't think I do that much and I still feel like I need a personal assistant.
Here is another great video review by Lisa, who coincidently writes the blog Lisa Reviews. She writes about how she can write at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
I think one of the key takeaways from her video, the key insight that is, is that she is able to write a lot more in those spare moments of time that she has while she's doing other things. Sometimes it's great to multitask, but it's even more important to be able to accomplish useful goals in those spare two or three or four minute pockets of time that we all experience throughout the day.
With Dragon NaturallySpeaking a four minute pocket of time can translate into 600 words! That could be three or four e-mails or one or two long blog articles if you're a blogger like Lisa. Slick
For just $99 you can get started with Dragon NaturallySpeaking and have it trained in running in about seven minutes. The software with version 10 is simply amazing.
I have been writing about Dragon NaturallySpeaking for almost 2 years now. I have been able to type at rates of up to 167 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. That speed was clocked while I was taking a typing test, but even in practical situations when I factor in not only the time it takes to type, but the time that it also takes to edit the words I typed, the end result is that I can still achieve about 100 words a minute, INCLUDING editing time! J
That is extremely fast, and the inclusion of editing time, speaks to the advances that you can see in version 10 as compared to older versions such as version 8 or version 9. It's a lot easier to edit on the fly with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.
So if you're looking for a practical tool for your home office, for your writing or blog work, or even just to keep up with e-mail in your spare time, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can give you the power to write at 150 words a minute for a price that starts at $99. Heck, I think I paid that much almost for my last keyboard so that I wouldn't pound my fingers to death. :-)
PS this article includes about 376 words that I wrote with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. It took me about 3 1/2 minutes to write and edit this article, which is just a little bit better than 100 words per minute and that includes editing time.
If you would like to learn more, take a minute to read the review Lisa wrote to go along with her video about Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 .

"While reaching 100K people is awesome, if not nearly an impossible feat when we started out on this journey, it definitely was not something that we here at MomDot did alone, by any means. I couldn’t possibly start thanking every person individually, because there isn’t even enough time in the day, and I hope I have said thank you to those along the way as they gave up their time, their blog space, their advice, and their creativity.
We have written 825 Posts total on momdot from our preopening till now.
However, I did want to do a few things.
Thank you to those in the beginning that really helped set UP MomDot and get us off the ground. Some of these girls didn’t even know who I was, just some random person on the net, and they still gave up something. No particular order!
Ill be doing this again when we reach 500K. Onwards and upwards!!!!!"

Who do you turn to when you are have a question about computers? I usually turn to my dear husband. Even though my husband is very tech savvy when it comes to computers, sometimes he just needs a little help here and there. He often turns to a Tech Forum or a Tech Blog for answers.
Since I have started blogging and delving more into graphic design, I have had to teach myself quite a bit. It has been mostly trial and error for me. If I had one place that offered computer tools and tips to help me when I first started out, I would have been so thrilled.
Even though I am far more experienced than I was just a few months ago, I still do not know which file extensions have special uses other than GIF files for animation. I have no clue about how to use flash players never mind how to embed videos into my blogs. There is so much to learn out there, I would love it if my husband would just follow me around all day and answer my questions at my bidding. He could tell me which of the latest software I should be using for graphics and animation or what the latest technology is to help me with my businesses. Unfortunately, I do not see this happening anytime soon.
If you have needs similar to the ones I described, you should bookmark this Tech Blog. It is fairly new, but is full of information. Most importantly, this information is relayed in a way that non-technical people like myself are able to understand.

Have you ever seen a number on your phone's caller ID and wondered where in the world is area code such and such? Well, here is a site that helps you Locate Area Codes quickly within the U.S. . . . all 372 of them. Now you don't have to instantly ignore a call from an unfamiliar number. After all, it could be your second cousin once removed calling from Vegas needing to be bailed out of jail. ;P

I'm talking about Hypnosis and Mind Control! Have you ever wished you could perform "Jedi mind tricks" on your family, friends . . . and foes? Well, I sure have!
There is something called Underground Hypnosis that claims you can hypnotize someone in just minutes or even via email. I know this sounds far fetched, but you have to admit it is intriguing. I couldn't help myself. I had to read through the whole site. I read about how the site's host Taylor Starr increased his income instantly with this technique. Then my mind started to wander . . .
I started to think about what it would be like to magically make my husband want to sit and talk with me instead of going off to his man cave to play computer games. Then my thoughts starting heading towards nighttime. Could hypnosis make my husband more alert to wailing toddlers rather than snoring right through the noise?
I think why I find this Underground Hypnosis so intriguing is because it is not like making someone bark like a dog. It is supposedly able to modify a person's feelings and attitudes. I would love it if you went to the website to peruse what I read. Then come back here and tell me if you think it is possible to have this level of mind control over another human being. Is it too good to be true?

For one reason or another, perhaps for legal matters, you will someday be required to produce a death certificate for a loved one. Luckily, this is not something that I have had to pursue myself, but it is nice to know that there is a service out there that will help make the process easier. If this is something with which you expect to face in the future, I recommend that you bookmark this site.

Have you ever wondered about your ancestors and distant relatives? I certainly have. I often wonder how many nuts are in my family tree. I recently came across this family tree maker service and it intrigued me. All you need to do to get started with making your free family tree is to enter your name and gender in the fields provided. As you enter more and more names of the family members you already know exist, the family tree maker searches through it's database and will display a leaf when it has discovered more information on one of those members. All you need to do is click on the leaf to see what it has found. It is like going on a treasure hunt. You never know what you may find!

Caller ID and the National No-Call Registry were fantastic ideas. Unfortunately they do not keep harassing phone calls away completely. Now you can help battle the dreaded "unknown caller." This new site www.phonenumberinvestigator.com takes reverse phone number look-up to a new level. It does this by allowing people to report their experiences with specific phone numbers. When you look up information on a number, you not only can find the owner's information, but you can read what others have to say about it. It is great to be able to warn and be warned by others.

If you've been reading my blog, then you know of my disdain for anonymous phone calls. Reverse Phone Lookup through 50 State Phone Lookup is free and allows you to research listed and unlisted numbers including those of mobile phones. This is an important feature because such a large percentage of the U.S. population uses mobile phones these days. This site is definitely bookmark-worthy.

I know most of you must have registered your home phones and mobile phones on the National No Call Registry. Do you still continue to get mystery phone calls from people whose name comes up as "unknown" or "blocked" or it just does not ring a bell? Does this same person call repeatedly? Of course they never leave a voicemail so you just cannot find out who it is until you pick up that phone. Well, that is no longer the case.
You now have free Reverse Phone Lookup at your disposal. Simply type in the phone number that shows up on your caller ID and you will be able to find out information on the owner of that number. This is one site that is definitely getting bookmarked on my computer.

Onion-lovers should rejoice because this revolutionary lozenge called antipoleez has the power to eliminate odors on your breath in just 60 seconds. It does not stop at making unwanted food odors disappear though. Antipoleez also eliminates bad breath created by alcohol and tobacco.
This product seems to0 good to be true. It is made of all natural ingredients, no artificial flavors, and does not leave any odor behind in your mouth as a result of its use. Have you heard the buzz about antipoleez on the news? Do you think this product would be as controversial if it had a different name and different packaging?
Personally, I think that this lozenge should be made available to the public, but not under this name and packaging. I also think the advertising should be regulated much like the advertisement of cigarettes. I would love to hear your opinion about whether you think antipoleez should be available to the general public.

Well it's something that is probably right up your alley. It's a show hosted by Zoey and Chris (who is quite a character) that teaches people about how to maximize their digital experience. If you are part of the blogging world, then you probably already share digital photos online. That's pretty much where it stops for me. If you're like me, Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover will really open a new world for you.
For example, the episode called "Wedding Day Crunch" taught me how easy it is to take photo prints, digitalize them, and then turn them into a slide show with special effects. Although I've viewed slideshows online before, I only made my first one the other day. Actually, I only figured out how to embed videos into my blog the other day too. It's been a big week for me. ;P
To learn more about this contest, watch this video and then go to Digital Makeover TV and click on "Make Me Over." Basicly, if you have something you need to figure how to do in regards to digital imaging, they can show you how. You might just end up on Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover and win some cool digital prizes too!

Do you have neighbors who always notice everything (to put it nicely)? I do. I live in a townhouse community so I have many neighbors who have plain view of my front and back doors. I do not mind the neighbor who calls and asks if everything is okay when she sees our car hasn't left our parking spot for a couple of days. I know she just cares. I do mind the neighbors who smile and wave at us and then reports us if we let our elderly beagle urinate on the grass just outside our door at midnight a few times a year.
As you noticed, the clip was promoting freshfunds. If you are an Ebay-addict, I believe that you will soon become a freshfunds-addict. It is just like an auction site, except you use points you earn from purchasing specific produce products to bid on great items instead of money out of your pocket. You can also use your points to purchase certain items. I like the adorable lunch tote for 500 Fresh Fund points. It looks like it would be the perfectly-sized canvas tote for my little toddler. Which item would you choose?
You know you're a serious blogger when . . .
