In The News:

Should I Start a Coupon Biz? How the web is affecting local coupon businesses. Entrepreneur magazine - April 2006
Q: I am interested in producing targeted coupon books for my community. Do you have any further research on this topic?
A: The web is affecting the local coupon business in several ways. First, it can help you distribute your coupon books. Someone entering a city name and the word "coupon" into a search engine will immediately find the available sources of coupons in that community. Searching the web can also help you check out existing coupon publishers in your community. But even if no one appears to be offering coupons in your area, double-check with your local chamber of commerce and prospective customers, including accountants, chiropractors, cleaning services, printers and web designers.

Work from Home: Real Money Advantages
By: J. Kenneth Ezra
One of the greatest and most rewarding endeavors you may adopt is working from home. Not only do you get to set your own schedule, you are blessed with spending time with your loved ones and/or your loved activities. I can’t tell you how to put a dollar amount on it. But it’s probably like this: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
We are talking about time. Time is the most important factor when you compare working from home versus working a regular 9-5 job. If you hate the day to day grind of working a normal job and you never worked from home you are missing out on one of life’s treasures. It is so limitless only you know what you would do with it. I personally enjoy 3 mile walks with my wife and dog Roxy (the fastest Whippet around). Oh, to be perfectly honest I love golfing with my friend at his country club. The best time to go from 11am to 3pm, if you add the commute times it really takes the WHOLE day. But you what? Time doesn’t matter because I make my own schedule.
However, time is a non-money advantage. Let’s look at some of the real money advantages to determine if working from home is for you. Always weigh your options before making any decision to quit your job. We will look at some of the required actions needed to work from home in my next article.

Top 10 Baby Sleep Myths
By Cathryn Tobin, MD Author of The Lull-a-Baby Sleep Plan
Do you recognize yourself in any of these statements? Here's the truth about the most common misconceptions.
Myth #1: My baby wakes up because of gas. The most common reason older babies wake up and stay up is that they lack the self-calming tools necessary to manage night awakenings.
Myth #2: My baby wakes up because he's hungry. Like adults, babies eat for reasons other than hunger. A baby will nurse because it's the only way he knows how to get back to sleep.
Myth #3: My baby is a poor sleeper. We inadvertently train our babies to be poor sleepers by not equipping them with the skills they need to fall asleep.
Myth #4: Rice cereal before bedtime will help my baby sleep longer. Hunger is typically not the cause of sleep problems after 3 to 4 months of age.
Myth #5: Crying damages a baby's psyche. I've known babies who were raised on attachment parenting principles and those allowed to cry it out. Can I tell them apart by their intellectual, psychological, or emotional states? Absolutely not!
