Our weekend with the exception of a few hours on Sunday was spent trying to keep from going stir crazy. With myself and 2 boys and 1 dog...it was no easy task. Not only do they continually want to fight and attack each other, they build up all kinds of energy that can only be released indoors...hence the video you can choose to check out below.
This is just a taste of life with 2 boys ages 6 and almost 4...enjoy or for warning!

{She Troubleshoots} Entrepreneur Style
My crew and I (read my 2 boys and I) designed tees yesterday. It was a mommy and us project so as to 1) keep them busy for 45 minutes and 2) to let them explore their creativity a little.
Funny how their designs turned out..really expressses who they are, and I know they didn't mean for it to turn out that way..it just did.
As did mine as well...
the boys...
& Mommy
Yup that 'bout sums it up!

{She Troubleshoots} List Growth *Update*
I mentioned when I first launched this 'all inclusive' blog that I would share the things I've found to be useful..as I troubleshoot my way around things and find what works (for me) and what doesn't.
So in staying true to my wits, here is an update to my Mobile Advertising model. 2 days ago on the 18th I launched my very first mobile advertising campaign with 2 goals in mind.
1) to build my own subscriber list of eager mobile eager people
2) to see if I could somehow monetize it, while sharing some mobile juice with them
Well day one as you can see in the post before this one..after 1 Hour...just 1 hour I had 11 subscribers...and now after just 1 full day, I've doubled that list size! According to my Aweber account I'm now up to 22!
Now I get it 22 people isn't alot...but...you remember that old tale about if you double a penny for however many days how much would you have? Yeah its kinda like that...let's say I kept this up and doubled my subscriber list ever single day for 5 days..being modest...how many would that be?
Hmm...hold on a sec...Oh WOW...it's a HughNormous number! I know I won't see that crazy silly number...but the numbers are encouraging...When was the last time you ran a pay-per-click ad on Google, spent $7 and got 22 new member subscribers to your list??
I'm just sayin... This Flippin Rocks!

{She Troubleshoots} Mobile Advertising
What are your thoughts about mobile advertising? Have you considered it for your small business? Well why the heck not?
Here are your Top 5 reasons why Mobile Advertising should be on your radar!
1) It's a virtual smorgasborg of traffic for pennies....Literally pennies per click..you can't find a click like that anywhere else!
2) It's super easy to run multiple platforms for maximum results. You can set up 3-4 platforms and expect to honestly see thousands of eyeballs looking (and clicking) your ad. All costing under $20!! $20?? Yup 20 bucks.
3) It's an excellent way to grow your subscriber list...to then gently market to. Once you see your subscriber list increase, you can then share you wealth with them. Let them know what you know, and share your insider tips and tricks on your specialty. It's then after you give them tons of free stuff you can then push some paid products...the system just works!
4) You can expect you list to grow everyday! Where else can you see results like that? Listen here, I've tried Google Adwords...and spent 100's and got 3 measley sign ups! Hogwash...I just spent $7 and got 11...now 11 isn't a whole lot but that was in an hour's time of running the campaign! Just 1 hour!
5) The sheer excitement of seeing real-time results is simply AMAZING! Never have I..Me seen results with such a platform.
I'm bubbling with excitement!

{She Troubleshoots} Vacation/Staycation
It's not too often...well hardly never that I get a whole week by myself...no spouse (by Navy default) no boys (by Sister-in-law Yay). I cannot even tell you the last time this has happened...but anyway I'm trying my hardest to not stress over returning to work on Monday and just enjoy this.
Everyone knows that first day back to work after a glorious vacation is the Worst! But I'm putting in good effort to get things accomplished, breathe and enjoy this time.
So far I've gone to lunch at Gordon Biersch, my fave.
Had my very first pedicure...ever~ that was a nice experience.
Mowed the lawn..no hoopla there
Got to read a real book...wow that's a big one
And today I'll be having lunch with my good friend Amanda who happens to be an awesome Chiropractor.
Later today I'll be having dinner with my friends from Gel group...and later after that its...wait for it.....Janet Jackson!!! How sweet this vacation has been...now if I can just really enjoy the time and quit stressin' over going back to my 9-5 I'll be good.
But wouldn't it be nice if I could ditch my 9-5 and truly live a life that makes me feel like this all the time...without the time off part?
I hear it happens when you are doing things you're passionate about and truly enjoy...I'm working on that right now. I have a client I'm meeting with on Thursday to finish up her web design for her new business, and then following up with a potential new client with some mobile marketing assistance.
Guess the trick is to replicate this over and over and get into a groove...*sigh*...and I keep grindin'...
