Getting Your Kids to Eat Healthy
I just came across a petition for Nickelodeon to stop all their junk food ads. I have a major problem with that because I think it’s really up to the parent on what they feed their kids. A person can see junk food ads on TV, but isn’t the parent ultimately responsible for feeding it to them. It’s important that parents know what to feed their kids and how to teach their kids to make healthy eating choices.

F is for Finalizing a Contract before Starting a Project
One of the most important things a work at home mom can do is check every detail of the contract before finalizing it and starting the work. You will save yourself a lot of problems if you make this a regular habit. There have been many women left with no recourse after completing a project and the other party did not pay. You will not only be out the money promised, but out the time and effort you spent on it, which could have been used on another legitimate project. So you yourself a favor and continue to read on for some helpful hint to make contract finalizing second nature.
