As a two time gestational surrogate mother and an author, as well as having many friends in the surrogacy community, I often hear women ask this question.

It's all about using coupons to your...

Don't Put All Your MLM Eggs in One Basket Published on 25/04/2008

There is a certain cult-like mentality with many MLM programs out there. Many uplines want you to eat, sleep, and breathe their message. They want your full, 100%, undivided attention on them exclusively. These companies and uplines would have you believe that their product is the best in the world, and would make you feel like it's a mortal sin to diversify. But that is exactly what you...

Kids Love MREs While Camping Published on 24/04/2008

I am a stay at home mother of two, an 8 year old boy, and a 6 year old girl. Both my kids are pretty adventurous, though, like most kids they can be a little picky when it comes to food. On a recent camping adventure, we took along a supply of MREs, or Meals Ready to Eat.

Can I Become a Surrogate Mother if My Tubes are Tied? Published on 21/04/2008

This is a very common question when it comes to gestational surrogacy. In fact, when I was just starting out my research into becoming a surrogate mother, this was the very first question I had. I started to consider surrogacy five years after my last child was born. I had had a tubal ligation at her birth, and was under the mistaken impression that having my tubes tied was an automatic...

Why Do Women Become Surrogate Mothers? Published on 15/04/2008

There has been a lot of talk lately about surrogacy, with new TV shows and movies featuring surrogates. Much of what the media portrays is misleading. So why do women decide to become surrogate mothers? If you asked the average person on the street, their response would probably be "for the money" but nothing could be further from the truth. While money does play a factor in most...

Don't Bug Family and Friends with Network Marketing Published on 12/04/2008

I've been involved with network marketing for some time now, and one thing that drives me absolutely up the wall is when a company or an upline encourages new distributors to formulate a "warm market contact list". This list is comprised of all of the family, friends, and acquaintances the new distributor has. The newbie is then encouraged to go through the list and approach every person on...
