Tips For Camping With Kids
Camping is great family fun, but with children there are a lot of extra considerations. To keep your sanity and really enjoy yourself, try some of these tips for a more relaxed, hassle free vacation.
1. Backpacks for everyone: Except for the very youngest, backpacks are the ideal way to carry clothes and necessities for each individual. They take up less room than suitcases or equipment bags, which you often don't have room for in a tent anyway. Make each person responsible for carrying their own stuff.
2. Minimal packing: Take only what you need, and not a dozen changes of clothing according to the time of day, for fussier children. Take the number of days you'll be gone, and factor in emergency changes of clothes. Lay out each child's items, or fill their backpack yourself. Give older children a list of what they must have, and check before leaving to see if it's all there.
3. Wash and wear: Make sure everyone has clothes that can be tossed in the nearest Laundromat, and not worry about the wrinkles from being carried in a backpack. You're not likely to need much in the way of dress up items.
4. Make sure you have the necessities, including bathroom tissue, small package of laundry soap, extra toothbrushes, first aid kit, bug repellant and bite treatments, sunscreen, and a radio with spare batteries.

Acrylic and Gel Nails
What's the Difference Between Acrylic & Gel Nails?
The Hot Mama Makeover has reached the hands of many deserving moms and I hope you are enjoying it and implementing the tips included.

One question that a number of moms who have read the guide have asked me is “What’s the difference between acrylic and gel nails?” Here are some comparisons to help you decide which works best for you.
Acrylic nails
- Composed of 2 parts: liquid and powder
- Take a bit longer than gels to dry
- Most are stronger, but can break due to lack of flexibility
- Cost less than gels
- Requires filling every 2-3 weeks depending on how quickly your nails grow
Gel Nails
- More natural looking
- Limited filing required reducing the risk of burns/cuts
- Dry with a UV lamp
- Quick to dry, but the whole application process takes longer
- Lifting can occur if you have oily nails or live in a humid environment
- Cost is higher than acrylics
- Also require filling every 2-3 weeks
Most nail salons offer both options. Always talk with your nail technician about any concerns you have beforehand. Choose the option that works best for you and enjoy you’re pretty, new nails, you Hot Mama, you! ;)

Stay at Home Mom Tips
Stay at Home Mom Tips for Earning Extra Money from Home
Staying at home with your children is a rewarding job. Raising children is a hard task even under the best of circumstances. Still, moms who stay at home may be yearning for more in their own lives to feel fulfilled.
The invention of the Internet opened up many doors for entrepreneurial exploits. An entire world of information is at our fingertips twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. To take advantage, all we need is a computer and a little motivation. This is the perfect way for moms to make some money of their own.
The most popular choice would be internet auction houses. The most popular of which is eBay. Everyone has something around their home that they can sell that someone else may want. One day, while your kids are sleeping, check out the attic and the garage for hidden treasures that could fetch a good price on the internet. Use a digital camera to take pictures of all potential money-making items.
Use your hobbies to make some easy cash. Do you like to draw, paint, crochet, or create crafts? Create your own website to advertise your particular expertise. Local flee markets and craft shows are a perfect way to get your product out there to the public. These events take place on the weekend, so your spouse can watch the kids while you market your merchandise.
Another way to make some extra money is online surveys. Large companies spend millions of dollars each year in market research for new and existing products. They poll consumers like you and me to see if there is sufficient interest in their products. The surveys can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour per survey for follow-up surveys.
Different companies offer a variety of incentives. Some companies offer points for their surveys which can be converted into prizes. Other survey companies offer cash for trialling new services and products. These surveys usually require a credit card for a preliminary fee that is reimbursed by the company upon completion of the survey.
Any work you do for extra money on the Internet requires an online account for companies or individuals to deposit your earned cash. The premier online account is PayPal. Signing up is free, but you must have a valid bank account that can be verified in case there is any discrepancy with the funds in your PayPal account.
There are a number of ways to earn extra money as a stay at home mom. The Internet offers plenty of opportunities that do not require a lot of time. The extra funds that you will be making will feel good.
