Ohh! What fun stuff! I’m especially interested in the Fix my Budget column, since PF blogging is my specialty! Thanks!
Ooh, the guest expert blog definitely. BTW, love the look of the site!
I’m looking forward to the Green Aware Mom column.. I’m new to being “green” and always looking for small ways to change my home for the better.
I am most looking forward to your travel column! As avid travelers, we love to take our children with us when we go and I’m always looking for new travel destinations whether in or out of the US. Congrats on launching your site! It looks great!
Beauty Mom!!!
Added the button to my sidebar, too. Roo needs those Charlie and Lola dolls and books. (Or mommy does…) And Jasper would like the gnome and mushroom toys.
I’m looking forward to the weekly reader. I’m always looking for fun things to read. Although – the practical part of me needs the Minding the Home column!
beauty!! And congrats on the new site!
Minding the Home and Fix my Budget! I love getting new, practical ideas in both those areas.
thanks for the cool giveaway!
I can’t wait to read The Traveling Mama articles! We travel a lot & I think I tend to make it much harder than it should be. For instance, we stay in condos with washer & dryer….yet I pack 2X as many outfits as days we are staying. Craziness!
Great site! A couple of columns sound intersting to me. Minding the Home – who couldn’t use more tips to help keep a home running smoothly. And Guest Expert just because of the endless possibilities!
Great giveaway – thanks for offering it!

And thanks for the giveaway! I think I’d be most interested in keeping up with the fixing my budget column – always a challenge at my house! Thanks 
Intro to Minding the home has got my attention as I have the same feelings so it will be interesting to see what you have to say on those topics.

I should probably say that I’m looking forward to the Fix my Budget or Minding the Home, as I need help with both! But those always feel more like chores to me. What I like to read and am most excited for are the Green Aware Mom and Traveling Mama. Maybe you guys will have a way to make the ‘must do’ home and budget stuff fun! Looking forward to the new site!!

The Green Aware Mom column!

looking forward to it all, especially minding the home…..good luck!
I’m looking forward to Minding the Home. I think a lot of us, even those of us who love keeping a beautiful house, struggle with the idea that it’s done well enough or in having enough time to keep it up. And yet, isnt’ it fun to have your home be something you are always working on?
Great website. Can’t wait for the Green Living!
I’m looking forward to the weekly reader.
I’m looking forward to the Green Aware Mom column–every little bit helps and if it’s easy to do, I’ll give it a try!!!

seeryusfam@msn.com
I can’t wait for the green aware column, sounds wonderful!
I’d love to read ‘Fix my Budget’. I am pretty good with money in general, but I have a hard time planning for the long-term. Mostly because investment options are not as reliable as they used to be. It’s hard to know where to put my savings these days.
I’m really excited for the Green Aware Mom! Any tip helps and I can’t wait to read what you’ve got!
Looking forward to the green mama! I’m always looking for new ways to “green” up our lives. In fact, we’re having a green birthday party for my 2 girls in Nov!!!

The Weekly Reader looks fabulous! It’s so hard to keep up with current events so that would be perfect! A great conversation piece with my husband too.
jkozole77 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Minding the home for sure! I’m pretty good with finances but with working full time and managing two small ones at home there just doesn’t seem to be an end to the housework. I’d love to be more organized with my chores so I have time to work on projects like organizing a closet! (My hubby helps out a lot too but we still struggle) Thanks for the givewaway!
I can’t wait to read Fix My Budget- with one income, we track every penny we spend!
The Green Mama column would be the most helpful for me.
Fix my budget! Since i have been out of work it is hard to figure out how to stay afloat with only one income.
Fix My Budget & Minding the Home! Who doesn’t need extra help around the house and with the economy like it is… I think that we’re all trying to figure out how to manipulate our home budgets!!!
Fix My Budget and Minding My Home are the two I am most interested in, with the Green Mama a close third. I’m trying out a new cleaning schedule and we’re also trying to tighten our budget this fall!

It is a close call between “Fix my Budget” & “Traveling Mama”. I’ll go with the Travel. We love to take trips. We’ve done a small amount of traveling with one. Now, next month, we are doing it with 2. Ah!!!!!!!!!! I’d loved to learn how to make it a great experience.
Hi,

Minding the Home, because I need all the help I can get! lol
solta(at)hotmaildotcom

Definitely into the Fix My Budget column. We’re about to buy our first house, and with both of us working full time and a 2 year old, I can really identify with a lot of the money areas Jodi talks about, as well as the challenges we both face – with both parents working, there are a lot more financial options out there, and navigating them all can be quite a challenge.
I am looking forward to Traveling Mama. I could use all the hints I can on how to make traveling easier.
MIND THE HOME!

I’ve just added a post to my site sending people here and to the new web site – yahoo!
