I was thrilled to find a company that is giving away free shoes to kids. They sell adorable shoes. And for each pair of shoes that is sold, they give away one pair of shoes to a child in a 3rd world country. You can see their shoes and their program at FREE SHOES FOR KIDS
Also they are letting me offer a coupon code ShareTOMS for $5 off your first pair of shoes purchased. So purchases a pair for yourself and provide a pair for an underprivileged child. I ordered mine today. Tell them MY PRECIOUS KID sent you.
SAFE CO-SLEEPING – Are you looking for a safe way to co-sleep with your baby? The Snuggle Nest protective infant sleeper with incline is the answer. The Snuggle Nest co-sleeping bed features side air vents, incline wedge, foam mattress, soothing sounds & light, sleep positioner. It has a washable cover and folds for easy travel. The Snuggle Nest is for use for co-sleeping with infants 0-4 months. Discontinue use when your baby begins to push up or roll over.
CUSTOMER COMMENT: Our son loves his snuggle nest sleeper. He knows immediately that it’s sleepy time when we lay him down in it. He will reach out to feel for us in the night and self-comfort back to sleep. Best of all, it makes transitions to other locations very easy. I have laid the nest in our co-sleeper, crib and taken it to family’s house: it’s like he has his bed and smells with him wherever we go. It has made changing his location much more simple. I love the Snuggle Nest! K in Ohio

The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it’s almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. “Hands-off-the-face” approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don’t trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected o ne. Don’t underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know 20 who might pay attention to it – and STAY ALIVE because of it.
PS I read that after exposure 20% will come down with the flu. And it is 4-6 day incubation. Hopefully these tips can help reduce that.

I have had the privilege of working with 3 young women starting businesses recently. Two are starting in Avon and 1 is in Avocare. I wrote this article to help them get started http://www.mypreciouskid.com/articles/start-a-business-101-directsales.html . I am excited to see where they take their business. I see such promise in each of them. I know I can teach them but their success it really up to them.
In the last 8 years I have seen many new businesses like mine come and go. People ask me what makes yours a success. I tell them it is a few things:
1. Knowing that God has called me to this business
2. PRAYER
3. God’s blessing
4. Lots of hard work and long hours
5. Perseverance
6. Pushing through the road bumps to keep going
7. Working the business every workday
8. Commitment
So who does make it business?
GROUP ONE 70%: These will buy some products, talk to a few people, maybe throw up a website and then say the products will not sell and quit their business. They will blame the products rather than see they have not really given the business a fair shot. I had one person wanting to return products that would not sell after only 30 days. Building a business takes time and hard work. There is really not a fast track. Those looking for a way to make some fast income will rarely make it in business. They often go from company to company trying to find the right product but never stay with one thing long enough to succeed.
GROUP TWO 20%: These will work their business for a few months and see some success. They will do the business building and start getting the sales. Then they realize the amount of work and time it takes and decide they really do not want to spend the time needed to run a business. Or perhaps it grows too quickly and they simply cannot keep up. Or they let others things in life take the time they need to build the business. They make the decision that business is not really what they wanted.
GROUP THREE 10%: Those who succeed are people who have worked their business diligently. They realize a business takes time, commitment, perseverance and some cash risk to get started. Every week day they spend time building their business, making contacts, researching their market, and getting themselves out there. They start with a few products and as business build they add more. They get themselves and their products in front of customers every week.
Along the road I have found many others who ask to what I am doing and sign up with my wholesale program at http://www.mypreciouskid.com/wholesale.html . Several of them have done very well. They have built their unique niche market a bit different from my own.
If you are considering starting a business, which group will you be in? Will you do the homework and know what business fits you? Will you learn the software, marketing and other things necessary to run your business? Will you push thru the bumps in the road and keep working to build a successful business? Will you commit to the time needed each week to run a successful business? Or will you be in the 90% who say either it cannot be done or I really do not want to do this?
If you are looking for some help I have written some training articles at http://www.mypreciouskid.com/articles/ I suggest printing the business articles and make a notebook of resources like this to read and use to motivate you. Also I recommend joining some yahoogroups of like-minded people who will encourage you in your business. Write out your goal. Find other success business owners to learn from. And above all enjoy the process. Building a business is really a journey not a destination.

I am often asked what product sell best for us. We carry both child safety products and safe baby gear. So today I decided to check the records to find out. So far for 2009 the following products have sold the best for us. I am listing the top 25 out of more than 170 products. In the NUMBER ONE spot is our Sippy Cup Name Bands.
For those who make their own baby food I know that our BABY CUBES are a much requested product. The manafacturer has been out for several weeks so we have not had any to sell. Today we recived a shipment of 144 boxes of baby cubes. So order now to get yours. Only $9.99 each.
The WEAN MACHINE, another favorite among moms who make their own baby food is out of stock. However we have a shipment arriving next week. Order soon however as we sold out of stock of these in 2 hours last week.
