At-Home Mother of Two Starts Online Clothing Business
(ContentDesk) January 22, 2006 -- Ask any woman whos had a baby and theyll tell you it is the most rewarding experience of their lives.
But theyll also tell you that after months and months of spending your entire day with an infant, you begin to feel as though you are losing touch with the adult world; especially if you are accustomed to a fast-paced work life.That was the case for Agata Langer, a former English Teacher and translator.
My children are 20 months apart, says Mrs. Langer.
They are now 27 months and 7 months old.
So Ive basically been cut off from the working world and adults for more than two years.
She continues:
After that much time without regular adult interaction, you begin to feel as though you are losing your edge and you feel as though your intellect is slipping away from a lack of use.
When you spend every waking moment of every day with your kids, the quantity of time you spend with them actually diminishes the quality of the time you get to share with them,
she says. I felt as though I needed to channel some of my energy into a project to keep my mind sharp and to help improve the quality of time I spent with my family.
As I pondered what project I would undertake, I drew upon my recent experience as a mother, she said. Like any Mom, I always tried to find good quality clothing for my children without spending a fortune, especially since they grow out of them after a few short months.
It seemed like a perfect idea:
Bring high quality, low priced childrens clothing to people though an online shopping experience. Mrs. Langer spent the next several months developing a website and locating suppliers.
Soon, www.bestdressedtot.com became a reality.
Our random sampling of Best Dressed Tots inventory revealed name brands such as OshKosh, Carters and Reebok at impressively low prices. Eliminating the physical retail location; the rent, the insurance, the utility bills, etc allows me to keep my prices low, she says.
I am proud to offer good products to people at prices they can afford.
This is a small business and I run it myself.
I treat my clients like a close circle of friends instead of like customers.
I wouldnt sell anything to them that I wouldnt put on my own children, she says.She closes by saying:
The experience has been terrific.
I enjoy what Ive been able to do for my customers.
Also, facing the challenges of starting a business has kept my mind sharp and the time Ive devoted to the business helped to improve the quality of time I get to spend with my children.
Its something I would recommend to any at-home Mom who wants to keep her senses sharp and improve the quality of time she spends with her kids. You may view the results of Mrs. Langer's work at www.bestdressedtot.com.

(ContentDesk) August 17, 2005 -- The price of oil is breaking records, gasoline prices are skyrocketing and energy investors are pocketing profits. Research and ratings from Morningstar puts the annualized return of natural resources funds at nearly 18% for the past three years, through April. However, despite the lucrative rewards to be reaped in today's market, lingering fears of "losing it all" cloud many investors' thinking.Blame it on the 80s."A lot of investors went into these programs in the 1970s and 1980s and they got burned," says Lewis Walker, a financial planner in Norcross, Ga. What appeared to be a great opportunity for big returns in energy investments turned out badly for many when oil prices fell below $10 in 1986.Things have changed, though, since the last great oil boom. As unfortunate as the market collapse in the 80s was for some investors, industry analysts agree that this type of setback would not be likely or even possible in today's world.
Both near-term...

Driving On Wet Roads
Summer may be coming soon however there is still a chance of having rain. In fact, rain could fall anytime without your knowing. And sometimes, light rain could turn into a torrential downpour that could leave you cold and miserable while driving on some highway.
Rain also is one of the causes of many road accidents. This is mostly because of the road and driving conditions.
The roads become slippery. And oftentimes, the rain blurs the visibility of the driver.
After a long dry season and the rain starts to fall, be very careful if you are caught on the road. Engine oil and grease has built up on the road during the dry season. Now when these are mixed with the water from rain, it can make the road extremely slick and slippery.
When it is starting to rain and you have to travel somewhere, make sure that you start driving with a little time allowance. This is because you would not want to start speeding through the...
