I’m a little stuck with ideas on what to get my mother for Mother’s Day. I’m actually nervous about it because it’s only a few days away!! I still haven’t even talked it over with my sisters either. *sigh*

Maybe I’ll just go for something easy such as flowers. I know that 1800Flowers.com have perfect mother’s day flowers available. They also have gift baskets and other goodies that you can send to your mom as well. Not to mention everything is on sale too!!

Hum…*thinking*…maybe I SHOULD get her a gift basket with lots of goodies of her favourite things! That sounds like a plan to me!

I get a ton of emails asking how people can get their blogs known. My answer is always to submit your site to a quality directory.

Just look at DirMania.org for instance. Not only is it FREE to submit your website, but your site will be easily found in the proper category of your choosing. Plus, some sites in the directory are even featured on the “Top Links” section and the “Popular Links” section. Even more exposure to your site!!

And, if you’re like me, you may enjoy blog hopping. You can easily find other sites that have the same niche as you in the many categories they have. Or, you can do it the simple way - just SEARCH it!! One more way you can find websites in the directory, just go to the “Random Links” section. Every time you reload the page, random websites in the directory are displayed!! Talk about being cool!!

So what are you waiting for?? Go and submit your website at DirMania.org absolutely FREE!!

Wow…scams just never stop do they? I go and check my email account that I use for many of my websites and see this email:

So, of course I’m curious and go to check it out. Read the website and it seemed too good to be true. I do a little search on it and found many other sites claiming it’s a scam. (search “contact them scam” and see for yourself) You can even read a whole report about it here.

When are people going to stop with all these scams? Seriously…they get old rather quickly and I’m sick of getting junk like this.

Can you believe that Mother’s Day is literally next week?!! Geeze…months do fly by because I have yet to get my mom anything yet. I’ve been thinking about things she needs or wants and have come up with a few things. Maybe a new cookware set (which is what my dad suggested), summer clothes, or even some kind of electronic.

I’m thinking maybe a Casio Digital Camera like this pink one shown in the photo off to the side. Why a digital camera for my mom? Well, just last week I bought myself a new pocket digital camera because I needed one small enough to fit in my purse so I could take pictures on the go. My mom really enjoyed the simplicity of it and wanted one of her own. Hence, why I think a digital camera may be a great gift for her this year.

Right now you can save $83 off the original price by buying it at 42Photo.com. That is awesome!! Plus, they even have accessories for the camera such as memory cards, camera bags, tripods and even cleaning kits.

My mom might need some of those as well which is great because you can get it all from one place for great prices. Check out 42photo.com yourself!!

When I was a young teen, I tried finding communities online that were worthwhile with plenty of girly things to do. At that time, there weren’t many and it became boring rather quick.

Nowadays, you have great websites such as GirlSense.com that cater to pre-teen and teen girls. Not only are there awesome dress up games with dolls, but you can also create fashion, communicate with other girls your own age, and even build your own boutique. Amazing, isn’t it?? I sure as heck think so!!

Plenty of fun to keep you occupied for hours!! So check out GirlSense - Online dress up games for girls and see what you can create.

When my nephew was born last year in November, I mentioned to my sister that sending out birth announcements would be a good idea. That way you can show what the little one looks like and tell his birth stats to all your family and friends instead of calling them one by one.

Of course she didn’t think it was necessary and didn’t end up sending ANY! I don’t understand why she didn’t send any since she had to spend all day calling people instead. *smacks forehead*

I think sending out photo birth announcements of the new bundle of joy is such a great idea. Companies such as Doodlebug Dezings have adorable ones available!!

Not only do they have great prices, but they also have some unique designs to choose from. Plus, they even do some for holidays, weddings, and even invitations to parties!!

If you or someone you know are having a baby soon, then look into getting these unique custom birth announcements and spread the great news when your little one arrives!

I was just catching up on the rss feeds I’m subscribed to and came across this image. Made me laugh really hard being Canadian and all. LMAO.
