Rosie’s Reason – Rosie is a young girl and has uploaded her very first 30-second clip on YouTube to help spread awareness about Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), a cause that prematurely took the innocent lives of two healthy Denver boys. Rosie knows that life is precious and she thinks that everyone should live for a reason and use what they have to help out. That’s why she’s designed a tee being sold at Money Toes where $10 per shirt is donated directly to SUDC Program.

Money4Mom says
Hey Moms … We had our fifth child back last year, and I was looking for flexible ways to make some extra money while she stayed home with kids. As we turned to the internet, and started researching different ideas, she continually ran into scam and spam at every turn. As I became more involved, we realized there were money making opportunities, they just need to be uncovered and understood. While much of this has been trial and error, we started to discover what was successful and what wasn’t. At this point, it was time to document some ideas and successes, and hopefully get some feedback and suggestion from other entrepreneurs. Of course, part of this blog in itself is not only to share ideas, but hopefully gather a viewer and referral base, to have more opportunities for everyone to be successful.
Cheers.
