I have to admit that even though I worked for an insurance company for three years…insurance is a bit intimidating for me.
Especially when it comes to auto insurance. I have always allowed my husband to secure our auto insurance coverage and really have not worried about it. I pay the bill…he secures the coverage. Works great.
Recently I heard of NetQuote.com and thought I’d give it a try. I do believe that I will be the one securing our Auto Insurance from this point on. In a few simple steps I was able to receive multiple quotes based on the information I provided. Simple questions like your age, vehicle make and model, address and state, employment and yearly miles driven. Easy as 1-2-3!
Whether you are looking for insurance in Sunny Southern California or New York insurance … you will find it all at the tip of your fingers at NetQuote.com
My first memories of a census were when I was a little girl. People would come to your door and ask your parents a bunch of questions. I really didn’t get it at that age.
But, now that I am a mom and a taxpayer, I understand the necessity of creating a Census. I recently received my Census intro letter…basically telling me that the “Census letter” was coming.
Have you received yours? If not you should be receiving soon. According to the official census website, 2010census.gov…”In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don’t mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.”
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.
The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:
- Hospitals
- Job training centers
- Schools
- Senior centers
- Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
- Emergency services
The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.

ow many moms would quickly answer YES! when asked are you a Power Mom, or a Super Mom? Not me, the first thing I would do is take an inventory of my Mom skills! First, I would inventory of all my shortcomings… Then I would remember times when I powered through a “Mom situation” and nailed it.
Chicken Soup for the Soul - Power Moms is a compilation of Mom stories. Some are stories how working moms left the workplace and found themselves feeling inadequate, and how they were able to get accustomed to the stay-at-home role. There are stories about how Work- at- Home Moms juggled activities so they could be home with their kids. And, stories for mothers in general. One of my favorites was written by a dad whose wife, a Registered Nurse, starting talking baby talk all the time. (“Da Da want birthday cake?)
There are stories of how these moms trusted… and thanked…God in the most difficult of circumstances. There is a story about a mom at the park that seemed to have it all together, makeup, hair, clothes. When she appeared at the park looking disheveled, she confessed her TV broke, and for 2 days she wasn’t able to take a shower.
So, moms, if you are looking for stories that tell how other moms survived, stories that will give you ideas and encouragement in your walk through motherhood, and a few chuckles, then you’ll enjoy this Chicken Soup book. We have the power of choice! And knowing we have a choice can give us the day to day encouragement we all need.

In an ideal world, after nine months of carrying around your baby, your baby weight would be cut with the umbilical cord. Unfortunately, the real world is far from ideal and you usually end up carrying your baby weight for months after the stork delivers your beautiful newborn.
You would think that with all the stress, the late night hours, and draining every ounce of energy you have into the baby’s well being would be enough to lose that weight but all these elements are the building blocks to building fat.

You are probably already running around with the baby, but if you ever get a minute during his or her nap time, consider using those 30 minutes to do some simple exercises like squats, push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, and jumping jacks.
