Meet Us

Written by Janice

Hi, we are Janice and Susan, identical twins and founders of 5 Minutes for Mom.

Our mission at 5 Minutes for Mom.com is to provide an essential, go-to site for moms that entertains and informs, while promoting the online mom community.

JandJ-headshot-150pix.jpgI am Janice. I have one six year old boy named Jackson and a one year old baby girl named Olivia. (I still need to update this photo… it’s me with Jackson when he was four.)

Between changing diapers and shuttling my son to school and after school activities Jackson, you can find my typing away at my laptop on my kitchen table.

I am a writer and a former youth worker. I loved my job working with teens, but I wanted to spend more energy focusing on my family. So, in 2004, I became a WAHM and I love my career online.

Susan and JuliaI’m Susan and mom to Julia and Sophia. Julia is three and Sophia is one — two weeks younger than Janice’s baby Olivia. (Again with the outdated photos… this is Susan and Julia when Julia was about nine months old.)

After three and a half years of infertility, Julia was an incredible surprise. And then the Lord blessed us again with little Sophia.

I am ecstatic to be their mom, and I feel so blessed to be able to work at home with them.

Before motherhood, I was a software developer working long hours. Because I was trying to have a baby, I knew I needed to find work that was more compatible to family life.

So Janice and I, along with our mom Joan Winter, began our online business. We run two online stores http://www.PedalCarsAndRetro.com and http://www.A-Rocking-Horse-To-Love.com.

It has been an incredible experience and we have learned so much.

Find out more about our crazy busy work at home life in these fun video interviews.

The Team

There is an amazing group of women who help us run “5 Minutes for Mom”. We would be lost without our team of writers and our fabulous virtual assistant, Erica, who blogs at Butterfly Kisses.

“5 Minutes for Mom” has become such a fantastic community because of each of you.

We love getting to know you. We want 5 Minutes for Mom.com to be an interactive experience, so please post your comments. You are welcome to include a link to your blog or website.

Also, we would like to hear your thoughts on our site. You can send us an email at info @ 5minutesformom . com and let us know what you would like to see more of on our blog.

(Please remove the extra spaces from that email address when you use it. The spaces are there to help reduce spam.)

Welcome and we look forward to meeting you.

Janice and Susan

Your concept is great, this is all the time I have- 5 minutes! I work full time and have two little ones… So I always look for ways to save time and effort.
I would like to recommend this website I found, http://www.stickerkid.com from where you can buy excellent stickers, resistant to washing/dryer and dish washers! I tried on my kids clothes and it really works. You can choose your own design for the sticker, with your kids name, to put anywhere. They ship the stickers anywhere in the world.
If you use the code ETO951 you automatically get a 10% discount!
It’s worth a look!
Cheers Maristela

Susan S. @ 9:43 pm

Hi Ladies,
I stumbled across your blog…can’t even remember how I found it because I have been so engrossed in your posts etc. for the past 45 minutes so I forgot where I came from! I am soooo new to the whole “blog” thing, but I think I am catching on. I even started my own blog, but I am too embarrassed to post it anywhere yet. My only post is titled “My 1st post on my 1st blog” LOL! I’m not good with words like you are ;)
Anyway, glad I found you ladies…you are now in my favorites!
Best wishes,
Susan

Hi Ladies,

What a wonderful blog. I found you a few days ago and I bookmarked you right away. I’ve just recently created a blog myself and have been having a great time checking out all the other blogs, but especially the mom blogs. Thanks for making it so easy to find the other moms. I’ve already been sharing your link with my friends. I hope you can visit me too.

A friend linked your site to mine, asking me to participate in your faithbuilders meme. I had to check it out. I think I just might do that! Congrats on finding a way to be home with your kiddos…I know you’ll never regret it.

By the way…I’m drooling over everything on your rocking horse & retro sites!

Also, I would be interested in doing what you do. Is there a way to get info? I wouldn’t know where to start looking. Thanks.

Forgetful God @ 6:51 am

I’ve just recently stumbled across your blog and I thought this might interest you. In your last post you mentioned both Gratitude and Awareness…”you can only see what you are looking at.” You’d think this statement was as plain as it sounds but there is a lot more to it than one would think. I bring this up because I think that, as a species, we have been avoiding what we really see. Of course I’m speaking of “God”, not a false God of worship and control, but true God (as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, etc have spoken about and were always misunderstood).

It seems the true nature of “God” is being revealed to us…it is my hope to explore this nature in detail. I would really appreciate it if you would visit my blog and leave any comments you might have. Thank you

Always here and now,

A Forgetful God

Hi Janice & Susan!
I’ve been reading your blog and wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed it!! I was wondering if your readers would enjoy hearing about a fun Santa experience for their little ones. I’m a mom of 3 Santa Believers and started http://www.SantaSpeaking.com. We offer live personalized calls from Santa. We’d LOVE to have you try a phone call from Santa to test it out! It might be kinda fun for your readers to see a review of the website and the live call from Santa!! We’re getting a great response from parents and they are enjoying the convenience of the phone call at home over the long lines at the mall. The children’s are so excited about Santa and amazed that Santa knows details like their pet’s name, their favorite color, their Grandma’s name, etc….and whether they are on his Naughty or Nice List! I would like to extend an offer to you both for a free phone call from Santa. Additionally, if you would like to extend a $5 off gift code to your readers, I would like to share that code with you as well. Please contact me if you are interested in your personal phone calls from Santa, and if you would be interested in offering your readers the chance for a $5 gift code.

I don’t know if there’s any way you will know who this is or how to help me, but I’m looking for someone who has a main blog, and then another blog where’s she’s posting her grandmother’s diary and letters from the 1940’s.

Whitney Johnson @ 11:09 pm

Dear Susan and Janice,

My friend Joyce Dorny recently sent me a link to your site. Though you seem to cater to moms with children younger than mine, I’ve found myself lingering, exploring links, enjoying being in your virtual presence.

I could analyze at length why I like being here, but given that this is 5minutesformom, not 5hours, I’ll just list one reason for today.

Even though the best way for us to find our voice is by listening to those who have found theirs, there are relatively few voices for us to listen to, whether within our circle of loved ones or in the media. There are even fewer mothers’ voices.

With your blog you have created a gathering place for women, a space for women’s voices, mothers in particular.

Atta girls!

My best,
Whitney Johnson

Hello Ladies,
Love the blog. I also notice that you showcase various products and was wondering if you would be willing to do a product review for this great blueberry-based juice called TrueBlue. Its healthy, natural, is a hit with kids, and has 25% less calories than regular cranberry cocktails. I will send you some samples if you are interested.

Let me know!

I am sorry for a mass e-mail, I swear this is not spam. I have children, and I think we all agree that we need help to protect them, I would like your help, this is a new site that just opened today, I know both Jim and Gail. They have invented software to protect children from predators while on line. This is the first step to having this software made available to the public. They need 1,000,000 signatures to show that we need protection for our children, Microsoft will then fund them and make the software available. Their is no protection out there currently, My Space has been unsuccessful at trying to come up with protection.I ask that you go to the site, sign your approval and then e-mail this to EVERYONE YOU KNOW !!! I really want to protect and we need something to protect the kids

Thanks,

Michelle
Please see and respond to the web site http://www.alertsurfprotectordetector.com .

This is a totally free with no solicitations site. When you are finished, please send or forward this to all that are on your E-mail lists. Let coworkers, friends and everyone you know to do the same.
We want to show our manufacture and as many people as we can in the country and the world that there is interest and demand for a program like this to enter the market. We have been in contact of members of congress, media T.V. shows and stations, law enforcement agencies, community service organizations and other well known celebrities. All have given us positive feedbacks. http://www.alertsurfprotectordetector.com

We are going to have more letters of endorsements just like the one shown from the Virginia Governor’s Office to show on the web site that are forthcoming from many more well known contacts from sources mentioned above. So visit the site for new information and endorsements.

Please join us and be a part of promoting better child safety/enforcement issues as well as safety for all. You are allowed to leave 3 signature/approvals for each computer. We are going get more linked web sites too as approvals come in from other caring organizations like the “pollyklaass.com.” Please check these caring linked web sites out for yourself to be involved. We have actively been volunteering too.

Thank you so much for your time, efforts and concerns in showing demand for this new exciting invention awaiting to go to market for you and our children.

Very Sincerely,

Gail and Jim

What would you do if you
Knew all of the things we knew
Would you stand up for truth
Or would you turn away too
And then what if you saw
All of the things thats wrong
Would you stand tall and strong
Or would you turn and walk away

Hi Ladies,

I love the site. Janice I had to laugh when I read your intro, I have a 4 almost 5 year old and he does exactly the same thing to me. Are we leading parallel lives?:)

August 2, 2007

Pam @ 8:30 pm

Hi Ladies,

My sister (Ranelle of Days of Grace, and Sam, and Miracle) told me about your website. She is very excited about your promotion of women-owned online businesses and she suggested that I let you know about my new Christian Book store and see if you would be willing to promote it on your site.

A little about me: I don’t know a thing about blogging (except keeping up with my sister’s). I have one son that is almost 33 and 5 grandkids ranging in age from 13 years to 7 months. I work full time, started my online store and am getting ready to open a brick-n-mortar version of God’s Corner in my hometown of Laurelville.

Hello! What a great encouragement your site is. My Mom and I founded our business in 1997 and it’s been a privilege to work with our team of papermakers and stationery assemblers. Now with two small children, it’s a joy and a challenge to keep priorities straight and life in balance!

I’m also a twin MOM (Mother of Multiples), so I, too, know about busy! I can’t wait to explore this site further to see how it can help me and I can help other mom inventors.

Nice to meet you. I am a Mommy of Fraternal Twin Girls. They are 21, going on 22 months.

When I see your photos above, you look more like fraternal twins. My twins are fraternal, but everyone I come into contact with thinks they are identical. Go figure!

Have a blessed Day!

Greetings Janice & Susan.

Just found your website and love that you help moms promote each other. Some friends and I are starting a magazine called Motherwords. It is written by moms, for moms and it promises not to give you boiler-plate parenting advice.

As Whitney Johnson mentioned in her intro post above:
there are relatively few voices for us to listen to, whether within our circle of loved ones or in the media. There are even fewer mothers’ voices.

Motherwords magazine hopes to give voice to real mothers that want to share real stories. Visit the website to learn how to submit a story.

Enjoy, Beth van Duzer

We sell outdoor clothes and equipment for kids. BUT we have a resources section all your Mom’s may enjoy. We add new articles about kids/outdoors each week. This week we have info about attracting winter birds to your yard.

By the way, your retro store is wonderful!! I wish I could ride those cars myself!

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Great site. Very helpful.

Although I hold a full time day job as a Customer Service Manager for a charity, I’m also a mom, and I have a second career that I do from home – write romance novels. 28 are currently published and more are always in the works.

I enjoy blogging and making new friends as well as writing romance. I also like to read, walk, swim, and watch movies. I love cats, sushi, and my home town of Cincinnati. I’m a Trekkie and also love Star Wars.

I have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. My oldest is 27 and my youngest is 13. Four out of my five children still live at home. I’ve been married 28 years and still going strong.

I do this through practical tips, articles, and free forms to help you get organized and simplify daily life. I also offer a Bible study called “Living in the Overflow” which is focused on sharing the Biblical foundations that have been so life changing for me. Lastly, I have an area for Christian humor and encouragement. I would love to get your feedback on the site. Please email me at ContactUs@overflowliving.com and let me know what you like and don’t like. Thanks!

I am very interested in learning how your site could help us reach moms in specific cities.

SavingsAngel.com is a very successful on-line service in the area surrounding Grand Rapids, Michigan. We help folks really cut their grocery bills with the incredible local information we update weekly.

After our inaugural year, we are now beginning to expand our service to other select markets.

If we promote the service on your website can it be set up so the ads are only seen by moms in specified markets or does the service have to be available nationally?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Love your website.
Here Is a great kid- friendly activity I thought your readers would enjoy
Ever See A Plant MOVE when you Tickle It?
One of my best experiences with my daughter and my classroom was to grow a TickleMe Plant from seeds and then watching the plant MOVE when Tickled! As a first grade teacher I no longer plant Lima beans, as the growing of this interactive plant, proved to be much more exciting and educational for my student’s.
I found my supplies for a classroom kit at http://www.ticklemeplant.com but they also sell individual greenhouses and even party favors, with everything you need to grow your own TickleMe Plant from seeds. I assure you your kids will be more excited about gardening, and its just fun to watch the expressions of the faces of children (and even adults) when they see the plant close its leaves and droop when tickled,

Hi Susan and Janice,

WOW! What a blast to read all these posts. Lots is new to me.

While I’m writing this I’m listening to a program on EWTN-TV featuring a guest who hosts another program about traditions surrounding Feasts and Holy Days particularly cooking and celebrations and what some of these came from and their meanings to us.

Is this how I may be entered into the contest as well?

Thanx,

SSSS

What a great site! I’ve only recently started following the wonderful world of “mommy bloggers” and am facinated at how large of a world it is. Its nice to find sites that are well-laid out, and share useful information in a down-to-earth tone. Thanks for sharing. I also find the twin world quite facinating; my business partner and friend is an identical twin and I’ve watched them do many of the “strange twin things”. Like the two of you, their kids are close in age. They are very different, yet in so many ways so close. Thanks so much for sharing your site.

I just found out about your site and I think it’s great. I am a mom of 8 children and my 18 year old twin daughters and I have a shop and I do online quilting. You can go into their webshop at the URL I gave. I would like to join but I couldn’t get the link to work to your form for moms with shops online. Maybe you could help me with that. Also for a little history of our new shop at home check out my blog http://www.stitchnquilt.blogspot.com.

Hi Janice,

With the holidays just around the corner there is no better time to start sending holiday wishes. This year, instead of blowing the budget on expensive greeting cards, Canadians can take advantage of Microsoft Office Online to quickly (and cost-effectively) create personalized holiday cards for family and friends. And, for that extra special person on your list, Office Online has great holiday gift items, like personalized photo calendars, scrapbook albums and colouring books that are easy to create and easy on the wallet!

Microsoft Office Online has a wide variety of free holiday card templates like Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, Ramadan or Kwanzaa cards, all of which can be easily customized for everyone on your list. With hundreds of tools and templates to choose from, Microsoft Office Online is guaranteed to make this holiday season cheerful and economical.

Office online offers plenty of other great inexpensive alternatives to store bought holiday items like, festive gift tags, one-of-a-kind party invitations and handy holiday budget planners, making it a great resource for this holiday season.

If you would like to know more about how Office Online templates and tools can help save time and money this holiday season, I’m happy to provide information and images or coordinate an interview with someone from Microsoft for you. You can reach me at 416-644-2262 or by email at tdivito@highroad.com.

Cheers,
Tania

Hi Janice and Susan.

We have a foundation for Autism called The Drive for Rebecca, named for our sweet 13-year-old daughter Rebecca, and we have been raising funds for advocacy, education and research for years and helped establish a school where Rebecca is a student.

I recently finished writing The Special Needs Parent Handbook, a long work in progress, and the book and free excerpts can be downloaded online (http://www.DriveForRebecca.org/specialneeds.htm).

100% of the proceeds will benefit Advocacy for All, our new initiative to provide free advocacy services to parents of children with special needs (for more information, please go to http://www.AdvocacyForAll.org).

Thank you for your help in getting the word out on your home page so that we can and get input before we go to press and help more families.

Regards,

Jon Singer

Hey Janice & Susan,

Times are tough and stay-at-home moms, now more than ever, are looking for a way to make ends meet. Most of them never think they’d get an opportunity to earn money helping to save someone’s life. Well, that’s just what you can do by joining Become My Hero, a growing army of people dedicated to keeping a lot of deserving people from dying.

Become My Hero is the World’s Largest Cord Blood Donor Recruiter Network. For those who can’t find a bone marrow match in a public registry, umbilical cord blood is a rich source of the same stem cells. Cord blood transplants, however, do not cause the same life-threatening Graft Versus Host response that frequently occurs with a bone marrow transplant. This means one’s chance of surviving their transplant is much greater and thus their disease (cord blood is now being used to treat over 80 conditions). It’s basically just a better way of doing things!

Our team uses a rigorous, scientific approach to tell recruiters what type of donor our client needs. We then provide them with brochures and promotional materials that these recruiters then give or email to pregnant women they believe are having babies that fit the bill among their friends, family, online social networks and even those they encounter in their day to day lives. Our recruiters receive $1,000 when a client has a transplant using a cord blood donor they have found.

Our organization is the first and only of it’s kind, and I’d love, love to work with 5minutesformom to get the word out to pregnant moms and those looking to supplement their incomes.

Happy Holidays!
