Meet Us

Written by Janice

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

We are busy moms who love being online. Because the internet enhances our lives so much, we want to bring moms like you a site that helps you get the most out of your time online, while you have fun, and find all the best places!

JandJ-headshot-150pix.jpg
I am Janice. I have one six year old boy named Jackson and a fourth month old baby girl named Olivia. (I still need to update this photo… it’s Jackson and I last year.)

Between changing diapers and negotiating with Jackson when it is my turn to use the computer, I try to get some work done.

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 three years ago I became a WAHM and I love my career online.

Susan and Julia
I’m Susan and mom to Julia and Sophia. Julia will be three this spring and Sophia is four months — 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 (Again with the outdated photos… this is Susan and Julia when Julia was about nine months old.)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 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.

We hope to get to know you too. 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

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.

#23 - 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

Looking forward to hearing from you.

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.

May you experience lifelong success!

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. Do you know who this is? I’d appreciate any help.

#67 - 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!

For a lack of a better place to post this question I was curious what reaction Jackson had when he finally found out Janice was pregnant? I can’t find your contact us link so forgive me for my weird placing of this question?

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 . Please leave a positive comments by clicking on to “contact”/”signatures.” then go to “comments” to sign your name and approve in the box after the letter shown. 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

WOW! What a great site. Moms never have more than 5 minutes anyway. And someone who supports us SAHM’s trying to run a home based business. Thanks for being willing to share your PR and help us all to connect and help each other.

#101 - PurpleKK @ 6:34 pm

I love the idea of a directory for Mom Run businesses so we can network together. I look forward to entering my store right away. Thanks, Ladies!

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?:)

#111 - 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 starting to look around for ways to promote my new product, the Baby Dipper TM bowl, which will come to market probably in November sometime. 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.

Hi Susan and Janice!

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!

Hi Janice and Susan,

Nice to see your site. I would be spending some more time on your site and check other pages. BTW I own a baby contest website KidsandBibs.com.

I also have a 4.5 year old son and the story is same with me. He is always after me waiting for hsi turn to play his online games ;)

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
