Alzheimer's Memory Walk for Charity- Be A Team Captain!

The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. This event is held annually in hundreds of communities across the country. They need volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder. More than 5 million Americans now have Alzheimer’s. It is a very common, but very serious brain disorder with a wide variety of symptoms ranging from minor forgetfulness to complete memory loss. And the symptoms only get worse over time and eventually lead to death.

Scientist cannot find a reason some brain cells are affected by Alzheimer's, but they do not some risk factors. Most people are over age 65. People with a family history of the disease are also more likely to have the disease. They need to do more research because there is no cure!

The Alzheimer's Association also provides information on symptoms, how the brain works, and how the brain is effected by Alzheimer's.

Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $225 million.

Team captains are needed NOW! Team Captains need to sign up early to ensure they have enough time to recruit a team so some fundraising for the cause! Being a team captain is a rewarding experience, especially is you have been directly affected by this terrible disease.

Work at Home Moms, Make it Official

As many of you know, I have many home based businesses as well as my new outside the home career. I am joined with three other moms as 4fabmoms. When we began this journey last spring, we decided to make it official and become an LLC. Fortunately, one of our partners has an attorney husband who create our official LLC documents. This way, we are not only a business and get to join our many different organizations as a business, we also get to deduct many business related meetings and expenses. We made it official.

There are many ways to set up your home based business, not just an LLC. One thing is for sure, you cannot do it alone.

There is new company that is helping people make their business official. IncParadise.Com. This company is helping thousands of entrepreneurs each year to start their own business. They are not lawyers. They don't charge high fees. All they do is to help with all the paperwork which might be complicated to people who are not familiar with starting businesses.

Some of the services and states that are available are:
Texas corporations
Florida
Nevada
Arizona
Other states may be available.

They also have a virtual office program and executive suites. Starting at $45 per month, you can basically use their office with free phones and internet and their conference room. "Why meet clients in Starbucks when you can meet them in professional office."

It is one more option to make it official.

Children's Place Back to School Savings

If you are getting ready for back-to-school shopping, it could not help to have some discounted savings at some of your favorite stores. I just found the Coupon Chief coupon codes that offer a ton of coupons for online shopping. There are a large variety of stores to choose from with discounts on large purchases and small purchases. You can actually sign up for their email newsletter to get coupons delivered right to your mailbox!

The coupon I found that most interest me today was for The Children's Place- $5 flat shipping (you cannot beat that!), 20% off backpacks, or 15% off your entire order. There are many to choose from so you can get the best deal.

And I love The Children's Place because they are a good price on some cute clothes and accessories.

What mom does not want to save some money with your online shopping? The Coupon Chief is another great find for online shoppers.

I am a Postie! for Pay Per Post

As a work a home mom, I am constantly looking for ways to bring in money from different sources- that is the basis of Smart Moms.

Over the past few months, I have been amazed at the things I have found on the internet. One of these is payperpost. I found it a few months ago, but my blog did not qualify- you have to be over 3 months old with more than 20 posts. I had the 20+ posts, but was not three months old. My friend Betsy reminded me today to go back and reapply- so here I am. I can earn $20 for this post, $5 or more here and there for other posts. You select the opportunity and write about it on your blog.

In my opinion, this is perfect for mom blogs. Why not make some money why you are doing what you will do anyway- posting!? Plus you can get more money for referring others to Pay Per Post and earn more as your ranking improves and as you post more! See my badge in the side panel- if you are interested click through and join me.

If you have a blog or looking to earn some extra money, think about payperpost. If you have not started a blog, start one and in three months, come back and join. There are always times when you are looking for something interesting to post about so why not get some ideas and make some money. Multiple Streams of Income is the ultimate goal!
