Description: This cookbook gives you 365 salad recipes that will help you incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into your every day life.

Review: That’s right 365 salad recipes. Hard to believe huh? I thought so until I checked it out. How could anyone come up with 365 different salads? My thought was if you want fresh fruits and vegetables you can only make so many different salads and 365 wasn’t even close to the number I was thinking. Boy was I way off.

One thing I found to be common in almost all the diet books and healthy eating books I have read are that fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you. No matter how you fix them, no matter how much of them you eat or whether you dice them, slice them or eat them whole they are good for you. The other thing I have found is that most of these books don’t really give you a lot of options in how to get your family to eat these types of foods. For me that was a very hard battle that I was losing on a daily basis.

I realized that my family did like salads so I thought I could use salads to get them to eat their fruits and vegetables. It worked for about a week. I kept serving the same types of salads day in and day out and they became sick of eating the same thing. So my idea just went out the window. When I found this cookbook that all changed.

I now make salads for just about every meal. In this cookbook I found salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Salads made with seafood, creamy vegetable salads and fruit salads. My family is in seventh heaven and they don’t even realize how good it is for them.

With 365 different salads I’m sure to find something new every time. Of course there are a few we don’t care for, but for the most part we have enjoyed these salads. I even look forward to making a new one and seeing how my family reacts to it. It’s fun to see the look on their face when I put something new on the table. It’s even more fun to know I’m giving them healthy foods and they like it.

If you want to make a fresh start and eat healthier but are afraid to try because your family may bulk at the idea, try this cookbook. You’ll see as I did that eating healthy can be easy and even a fun thing to do.

Help- I’m a Broke Cloth Diaper Wahm!

The good news is, you make beautiful cloth diapers and your baby looks just adorable in them. The bad news is, you’re not making many sales and if things go on like this, the diaper will be all baby is wearing. Here’s some advice to help you grow your cloth diaper business.

1) Take your cloth diaper business online

If you haven’t done so already, start a website and let the world be your customer.

Did you know that hundreds of people each month search online for cloth diapers and other baby products made by work at home Moms? Moms like quality stuff for their babe, and they also like to support the efforts of work at home Mothers. Why shouldn’t they find your product when they search?

Building a website has never been easier. For around $20 a month you can host a full featured website complete with shopping cart and built in payment processing system, message board, newsletter to keep in touch with customers, etc.

2) If you’ve done that, learn how to market your business with articles

Article marketing is something all successful online business owners do. The idea is to write articles and at the end, include your bio with your site link.
Add the articles to your site to get you more traffic, then submit them to free content sites. Other website owners publish your article. If you think it won’t work, ask yourself: What am I reading right now?

What do you write about? Anything that relates to your business. Some ideas:

How to wash cloth diapers
How to sew your own cloth diapers
Why use cloth diapers?
The different cloth diaper systems
Benefits to baby of cloth diapers
Benefits to the environment of cloth diapers
Benefits to the budget of cloth diapers
What native people used for diapers
How to potty train your cloth diapered baby
I could go on….

3) Learn how to optimize your website for search engine traffic

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an awesome way to get totally free (and more importantly) targeted traffic. Remember the people searching for wahm cloth diapers I spoke of earlier? You can find out exactly what words they’re searching for by using keyword research tools that are totally free online. It’s a shame to have talent and not earn any money from it! I hope these tips help you make more money with your cloth diaper business.

Back to School- Mom Style!

My friend Alyssa over at Life from My Laptop is asking for some Back to School tips.

While my kids are still young and I haven’t gotten fully into the school grind yet- I do have one tip. I often hear of people saying how their morning is so rushed. How about trying a few of these before going to bed:

Have all family members pick out- and have ready their clothing for the next day
Prepare lunches the night before
Make sure homework, backpacks, and projects are done and ready to go by the door

Just doing one of these can cut the hectic times in the morning by 5 minutes- sometimes even more!
