Hi, I'm new to the community. This might seem a bit unorthodox but I am a photographer who is currently creating a body of photographs on the topic of miscarriages as a way to educate people on their prevalence and the types of experiences that women have because of them (though I am also interested in hearing from partners too).

If you are interested in reading a bit more about the project, please read the rest of the post after the LJ cut. Thank you. :)

Just thought i'd give fellow parents a heads up on this. Amazon is giving a free 3 month trial to all parents right now: Amazon Mom- free Amazon Prime trial

It's called Amazon Mom but it's aimed at anyone who takes care of a child. For those unfamiliar with Amazon Prime, it is a service that usually costs $79 a year that gives you free 2 day shipping and $3.99 overnight shipping.

Hey everybody,

I wanted to share with y'all a great counseling resource that I've come upon. They're really great people and they've answered a bunch of question for me already.

Calls from 17 states are routed through this number so just because you know doesn't live in TX, that doesn't mean they can't benefit from this free service also.

So, with our economy the way it is now, who doesn't need to save money where ever possible? Or hell, even get stuff for free?! I've been keeping tabs on all sorts of money saving sites lately and I thought I'd post the best of what I've read here for you. Like-wise, I'd hope you'd fill me in on anything you see/hear! =) This is the first in a series of blogs to be posted so keep watching!

Hi Mom Bloggers, I am helping Alexis Martin Neely launch her new book, "Wear Clean Underwear: A Fast, Fun, Friendly - and Essential - Guide to Legal Planning for Busy Parents. With her savvy book Wear Clean Underwear, Alexis helps parents understand how important – and easy – legal planning is for parents. You can find out more info on the book at www.wearcleanunderwearbook.com.

So why am I writing you?

For each mom blogger who reviews the book on or before May 7, we will offer a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan counseled and prepared by a celebrity lawyer, Alexis Martin Neely. This is a great value, as an attorney prepared Kids Protection Plan is normally $1,000. And, because Alexis Martin Neely is no longer seeing new clients, this offer is truly priceless.

Let me know if you can review the book by May 7th. We would love your participation. Please contact me at alicia@wealthygirlsummit.com if you are interested.

I have some listings on Craigslist I'd love to see gone. Most prices are negotiable. The Sofa set is my in-laws' and I can put them in contact with you if you're interested. If more pictures or further details are necessary, please feel free to either email me through the listing or leave a comment here. Because I'm cross-posting, I'll place the list behind a cut. Please note: I am willing to make some exceptions to my rules and requirements to fellow LJers, so if you respond via Craigslist, please let me know you found the sale via LJ!

I just joined this community. My family and I have just recently moved to Lewisville, Texas from Florida. We absolutely love it here, but it would be nice to meet other Mothers in my area. I have two beautiful children. Steven is 3 years old and Hailey is 2 months old. I will be married to Scott (30) for 4 years on the 18th. I am 24 years old and a stay at home Mom.

If there are any other Mothers in my area with children around the same age please comment. I'd love to get to know you and your family.

Thank you.

Rats are incredibly intelligent and fun pets! Mine do tricks, such as sit up and beg, play peekaboo, fetch a ball and more! They're easy to care for and are full of affection. My 5 children aged 15 - 6 play with them without biting, runaways or "potty accidents". Even my ADHD 6 year old has no problems, the rats are gentle and have a long endurance for the rougher play that young kids can sometimes do.

Today the babies are 1 day old. You can already tell which ones are going to be dark like Annika, which ones will be hooded like Donovan, which ones will be capped and which ones will be light or albino. We appear to have 6 boys and 6 girls! I discovered last night that we have 2 with pink eyes, not 1,as I previously thought. They are the light pink babies at the top middle of the picture.



I'll be posting daily pictures on my journal to show their growth and development. 1 albino (of either, sex doesnt matter) is already claimed and I will be getting 1 of the dark eyed babies as well, but there will be 10 more to find homes for in about 5.5 weeks! Mom is a dark chocolate irish marked and Dad is a grey and white capped with "hooded" stripe down the back. Pictures available of parents. Both come from (seperate)local breeders (the breeders sell to my local pet shops and that's how I aquired them- I've contacted the breeders for breeding history and both are great breeders)and have good lineage, sweet demeanor and are very gentle and tame.

Know someone in the Houston area? I'll travel a short distance to deliver. If you're interested, comment here or email me at pogovina@gmail.com

Thanks!!

Because I know how expensive it is to have a child and because these sales are just around the corner....

Just Between Friends

Divine Consign

Both of these sales offers a "first time mom" presale, and the Divine Consign sale has multiple locations. I've heard nothing but good about these, both as a shopper and as a seller, but I've never been to either. I have been to a Kid to Kid which is somewhat hit or miss, but you can find good deals if you hunt.
