Moms and Money, Intention

Hey to all you moms out there (or women who aren't moms!).

I just started listening to Suze Ormans CD set titled "Women and Money."  I highly recommend it to anyone - women or men, but it is directed to women of course.  I'm only on the 2nd disk right now and I will make a point of updating this site when I listen to the rest (I think there are six).

Suze gives sound advice on how to manage your money and she has a simple program with only 6 or 7 steps to follow to get control over your finances.  What I really like is the fact that Suze really seems to care about us and how we manage (or don't!) our money.  She is genuine and she is SMART - she helps take the GRRRR out of money and makes it simple.  

You can check this CD set out from our local Mammoth Lakes library or order it!

I am also ready a great book that you've probably heard of called The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.  I don't have feedback on the book yet but I will post it when I do.

NO soccer today

Due to snow today's soccer games in Mammoth are cancelled!  You probably already guessed that but in case you did not...here you go!

New Mammoth Blog

This is a new blog! It's my first and I am truly excited and passionate to be able to post helpful information in our community of Mammoth Lakes.

This blog has a couple of purposes. I have two major jobs in this town - Mother and Realtor. Both are important and both will be covered in this blog. The mother part has to do with good parenting skills and places to take kids or things to do with kids, as well as taking care of the parents (often overlooked!). The Realtor part is...real estate! I hope you feel free to add comments or questions. I will check this blog daily, more often if I can. If I skip a day...chalk it up to a runny nose or some other childhood illness.

I am a firm believer in learning skills, whether for work or play. I love learning parenting skills and I love it even more when I try them out and my children respond positively. It's like a miracle right in front of my eyes. Sometimes offering "would you like to wear the red pants or the blue pants?" gets my toddler from full-blown tantrum right into cooperation. I definitely choose my battles.

Real Estate - yes, it is a fabulous time to buy. Rates are good, prices are low and selection is high. Why not find what you want and secure it, rather than wait for it to be grabbed up by someone else? The sales process is simple and I will dedicate a future posting to some of the sales process highlights.

Thanks for reading!
