THE REST OF THE LINKS YOU LOVED:
A Mother's love for her child can move mountains, and in our case also recover him from Autism through CEASE therapy.

Parenting can be a bumpy ride with a house full of teenagers who finally believe what we said many years ago…”as you get older, mom and dad will appear to get dumber”! With one child on the autism spectrum with Asperger’s Syndrome, it makes things even more interesting…which is a nice way to say “exausting, frustrating, and high blood pressure inducing”. [Editor's Note: Jamie is a mom of teenage quadruplets... wowsa... this lady is amazing! For some reason her link got deleted off of our FB page... probably do to my fat clumsy fingers... sorry Jamie:(]
Tonya Poynt Photgraphy:

A resource of activities for young children that promote play, discovery and learning. This link is to their best posts of 2010... VER AWESOME!
I am a working mother of 3 boys, ages 10, 8, and 5. I saw my first Thirty-One catalog in August of 2010, and it was love at first sight! :) I can't wait to share my love of Thirty-One with you. Contact me today!

Recruits new maid service and house cleaning companies to join our program and become Partners with a heart and soul to offer free house cleaning for women undergoing cancer treatment.

A little crafty blog to document my projects and creations. Custom clothes and accessories for your little one.

The ability to express her vision though the lens has been both enlightening and satisfying. With no extra time to take photography classes, she had to learn everything on her own. Balancing this with her role as mother and wife was difficult , but the hard work resulted in the evolution of her own unique style.

An Up and Coming boutique bakery in the Rogue Valley! Check out our Signature Designer Cupcake line.. [Editor's Note: Only visit this page if you are ready to drool... I have about 7 more weeks of a biggest loser contest and then mama's gunna hop on the Britt's Bake train... then I'll need someone to find me another Biggest loser contest:)]

"Design*Sponge is a daily website dedicated to home and product design run by Brooklyn-based writer, Grace Bonney. Launched in August of 2004, Design*Sponge was declared a “Martha Stewart Living for the Millennials” (NY Times, 2008)"

The European Touch Day Spa:

Super Star Saturdays... and my mentor Mary Katherine Gallagher



My life is probably the exact opposite of that of a superstar. 98% of my days are spent cleaning up "accidents" (of both the bodily fluid and broken lamp variety), wiping bottoms, cooking and then cleaning up more accidents. In between the mayhem I try to work, but only with the brain power and engery that's left after my boys suck me dry. I love what I do... every most mornings I thank God that I can sit down and work in my jammies with my nappy bedhead. Sometimes I do envy friends who get in their cars showered and dressed, with hot coffee and drive away to a quiet office where they can think and go to the bathroom by themselves.... but I know that would bring it's own bag of troubles and worries and like my friend Katie says "The grass is always greener over the septic tank."



Being a mom is hard, whether you're a stay at home mom, a working mom, a special needs mom, a single mom or even a step mom... I look at so many of my friends (who are super star mommies) and have absolutely no idea how they do it. With this in mind we decided we want to start something call "Super Star Saturdays" Although our name was inspired my hero and mentor, Marry Katherine Gallagher, Super Star Saturdays have nothing to do with making out with trees or smelling your fingers after they've been in your armpits...



Starting THIS SATURDAY, we are encouraging you... our EM friends... to post links on the Earth Monkeys Facebook page  to the coolest products/blogs/companies you have come across this past week... you can self promote, promote a friend or just add a link of somthing YOU think is awesome... everything directly related to serving moms and/or kids of course. Our hearts are to create a place where moms can come to check out the newest and coolest of everything every weekend:) We want to promote hardworking moms who blog or own businesses (because we know how hard it is) and mostly we want to help make YOUR life easier ... I can't tell you how many times I see friends with cool gadgets, cute clothes and amazing activities/kids stuff who say they found it all online... so why not pull our resources and list all the goods in one place?? It will help everyone!



Here's the second part... whichever link gets the highest percentage of feedback will get the thrilling, glamorous, highly saught after (ahahahaha) prize of free advertising on our blog for the following week. Hey it's not much, but it's what we got:)



Here's the catch... it can't be anything spammy or we will remove it (no hard feelings... that's just not what we're going for) Also please no viagra, porn links to anything skanky...  let's keep it PG-13 ish:)... Yup that's it... no spam no skankishness ... anything else goes!!



More than anything we just want this to be another way for us all to connect and help eachother out, Lord knows mamas can use all of the help we can get! Can I get an Amen??:) See you Saturday:)
