As you may have read, I am doing TWO special projects that are near and dear to my heart. Now that the plans have progressed, I want to share more details and ask you to become a part of my dream projects.
PROJECT ONE
Motherhood, the military and special needs families are three topics I am truly passionate about. Being able to bring them together in one project is amazing.
Initially, it will be a series of blog posts as I previously explained. My ultimate dream goal is a book containing tips and ideas to make life a little easier and less stressful. It will also include profiles of and tips from military special needs families. It is my hope that it will also include tips for those families from a mental health professional. The dream of writing a book is one I have held close to my heart since taking journalism and creative writing classes as a child.
I am asking for submissions and ideas from all of you. I am looking for your tips, how to’s, shortcuts, recipes, kids’ activities, etc. about 6 topics important to ALL moms and 2 special topics. If you can think of any additional topics or subtopics, I will gladly consider adding them as well.
Any submissions, ideas, photos, illustrations, etc. you provide will be credited to you and include a link to your website, blog or FB page if you so choose. You do not have to be a blogger, a mom or related to the military to help with this project. Everyone is invited to take part.
Topics:
1) Cooking Simply
2) Cleaning Shortcuts
3) Laundry Tips
4) Organizing Home & Life
5) Children’s Activities (aka How to Keep Them Busy While Accomplishing Topics 1-4)
6) Taking Care of Mom
7) Special Tips for Special Needs Families
8) Military Family Life “Simplified”
If you are a military special needs family and would consider sharing your family’s story or you know of a military special needs family who would be perfect for this project please send me a message at msmommyhh6@yahoo.com
My hope is that the majority of any profits made would go to a non-profit organization that works with military special needs families.
I know it is a long shot but a dream has to start somewhere….
PROJECT TWO
I am also taking nominations/submissions for a series of profiles on women and military spouses who have small businesses, blogs or who create and sell their own items.
I want to highlight these fantastic women and their businesses here on this blog. I have a list of questions for the profile subject to answer in order to write the profile. As soon as I have 3 profiles completed the series will begin and continue indefinitely as submissions are received.
How to Get Involved
If you want to submit your best ideas and tips, would like more information, have an idea/suggestion, if you are interested in being profiled or you know someone who would be a great person to profile comment on this post or send an email to msmommyhh6@yahoo.com
Please spread the world and help me accomplish this incredible dream. I truly appreciate your time and effort to make these projects successful.
Thank you all for your assistance and support
