A Really Proud Mum!
By · CommentsToday, I taught my daughter to ride a bike. I am so proud of her. It was a 10 minute job and she was whizzing around like a pro. And it made me think…..
My daughter didn’t believe that she could ride the bike, although I knew that she would be able to, because she has an excellent sense of balance and she is fairly fearless! The reason that she managed to ride so quickly is that she believed in my belief in her. She trusts me and knew that if I said she could do it, I was probably right.
So, a lesson to be learned here, methinks: If you are struggling with self belief, you need someone who knows you and believes in you and you need to borrow their belief in you until your belief in yourself catches up.
Interesting thought hey?

Moving house
By · CommentsI have moved house so many times that I have lost count. I do quite enjoy the thrill of the move – you know, new house, new area, new experiences etc – but I have to tell you, I loathe the actual moving!
When I lived in Botswana, moving house was a really odd experience. Two nice chaps turned up with a flat bed truck, piled it ridiculously high with our stuff and then using old bits of rope and odds and ends, tied the whole lot onto the truck (not covered!) and drove it to our new house. Several trips later and it was done. Simple, if alarming!
Here however, it’s a different story; do you move yourself, or get someone to move you? Do you pack yourself, or (if you are in a position to do so) pay someone to pack for you? Can you manage to drive a huge truck yourself? These and many other questions…..
Well, a friend of mine has moved house recently and it was all organised and she was very happy with the arrangements, when at the last minute, the whole plan collapsed. her blood pressure went through the roof and it looked likely that she was going to have to call the whole thing off. However, she found these guys: the house removals company online and got in touch to see if they could help. They did and the service she received was really first class. I helped with the move and ended up chatting to someone from this company on the phone because it rang and I answered it as my friend was busy “supervising” (read: organising everyone in a somewhat flustered manner) and I commented to him that his company had done a great job. We got chatting about websites and blogs and things and I promised him that I would mention his company on my blog, because they truly saved the day for my friend.
So, if you are moving, take a look at them. My experience is that they are very good indeed.

Stay At Home Mum's Jobs
By · CommentsIt is what we are looking for, isn’t it? Stay at home mum’s jobs (or stay at home mom’s jobs for those of you from the US). We just want to be able to work from home and to stay with our children – and we are happy even if that means that we have to sacrifice several hours sleep to get the work done. And somehow, it doesn’t seem much to ask really, does it? And yet… and yet……
Why is it so difficult to find something to do from home? Mainly because, just like the real world, there are scammers out there on the ‘net. People who want to use our hard earned to line their pockets and give us nothing in return. How can you avoid these scams? Well, maybe I can help:
Those of you who are fairly regular readers will know that what I do is search out the real gems from the scams and anything that you see on my site is researched and is definitely scam free. The best place to go on my site (secret place!!) is to click here. Here you will find several different ways to make money online. They are good, reliable and from very trustworth sources and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Researching Scams For You.
By · CommentsHappy Easter! Ok, I’m a bit late, but the sentiment is still there. I hope that you all had a great time over the weekend and that the weather held out for you where ever you are.
I’m having a strange time this week. My children are with their father and so I am home alone mum. And it feels strange! The house is unusually quiet, I can eat what I like, when I like and I haven’t made a peanut butter sandwich for days! Also, the pen that I put on my desk is still there, I can see the sellotape and the house is tidy….
So, with all of this me-time, I started to think about working from home. I am currently researching a new online way of making an income and to date, the company has really impressed me. Not only did I get a call from them after I completed an online form, the guy I spoke to was polite, helpful and answered absolutely everything I asked. They arranged to call me back at 8:20pm a couple of days later and lo!, they did! I have decided to give this thing a proper try to see if I can make any money from it and I’ll report back to you as soon as I have finished my “scam detector tests”.
When I research to see if something is a scam, I rarely actually go as far as spending money on it – usually, the promise of my first millions within 48 hours is enough to send me running for the hills, however, this time I have. I haven’t spent a lot, just a little and I am intrigued with the business model. Anyway, I’ll keep you posted.
If you have found something that you think is interesting, but you just don’t know whether or not to pursue it, put the URL (website address) into a comment on my page and I will look at it for you. Not only will I post about it, I’ll email you personally with my findings.
Anyway, it’s a sunny day (rare in the UK!) and I want to get my milk-bottle white skin a shot of vitamin D, so I’m off now and I’ll post again soon.
Love Sarah
So you’ve been thinking of starting a business from home. You’ve got some skills, don’t have a lot of space for inventory, so you figure it might be a good idea to start a service business. In fact, it’s a GREAT idea – you just have to be prepared to get your business off the ground and balance all the work/life responsibilities that are on your plate.
This post is going to provide you with easy-to-follow tips to do just that, but first, if you still don’t know what type of service business to start, here are a few popular suggestions: Read More→
Online Surveys
By · Comments
Hello again. It is “stupid o’clock” in the morning here and I have spent the night so far, listening to the remarkable Christina Hills, Jeff Herring and Maritza Parra on a seminar and researching what I set out to prove could be done, but I have concluded just can’t…..
I just cannot work out how anyone can make money online from surveys. I have, on your behalf, wasted several pounds tonight (and over the last few days to be honest), joining various “online survey” companies. All were really well advertised, professional looking sites that wanted me to spend just a small amount to access their information. So I did. All gave me the same information I have already accessed, for free elsewhere online and not one of them had a viable way of making proper money online. I spent 40 minutes filling in a survey for which I was paid the grand sum of $0.17. Hmmmmm…..
So, unless someone can tell me otherwise, don’t believe anyone’s blog, or sales page etc because I am telling you for certain – there isn’t any money in it! I read a really convincing blog by the lovely Kelly, with loads of “grateful customer” comments on it, thanking Kelly for her fantastic advice and how they had earned upwards of £100 in a few hours filling in surveys. Well, they didn’t.
Sorry mums, but they just didn’t. Online Surveys are a SCAM!!!!!
Love
Sarah
ps – if you know otherwise, I would really love you to prove me wrong!!
Want Your Own Website, But Don't Know Where To Start?
By · CommentsIf you would really like to develop your own site, or blog (you are reading a blog if you were wondering what one is….), but you simply don’t know where to start and are totally technophonic, you should take look at this:
My friend and mentor, Christina Hills, just put out a new video where she shows how she learned to make websites in just 15 minutes using free WordPress software.
It’s about the first website Christina made using WordPress was just a little less than 2 years ago for her daughter’s dance studio that was putting on
a local production of “The Nutcracker”.
It’s kind of a funny story about how she started using WordPress because Christina is known by many people in internet marketing as someone who
can take technology and teach it to any “technophobe” who wants to learn.
But I’m telling you too much. You really need to go watch her video now, and hear her story in her own words…
It is funny too…. always nice for a Wednesday
