KIDS PROJECTS- Getting Ready for a OPEN HOUSE? How to Decorate Your Table for Valentine's Day

Valentines Day is just around the corner and if you are planning on having open houses or even just having a home party then one project for your kids to enjoy would be having them set up your Valentine Table.

How to Decorate Your Table for Valentine's Day

Whether you are planning a Valentine's party or just want to get your house dressed up for the occasion, decorating your table is an essential step in getting ready for this romantic holiday. Keep it simple by choosing one of the following table ideas.

Instructions
STEP 1: Decide on a tablecloth first. You don't need to buy a heart-covered tablecloth. A simple lace one will do, or try a plain pink or flowered tablecloth.
STEP 2: Purchase a dozen pink or red roses and display them in a crystal vase in the center of the table. Arrange some strings of decorative imitation pearls in swirls around the vase. Place two tall pink candles on either side of the flowers. Set one foil-wrapped heart candy on each plate and tie the napkins with ribbon.
STEP 3: Sew Valentine-colored cloth into hearts of different shapes. Stuff the hearts with batting and arrange them in a bowl or basket in the center of the table. Place napkins in simple napkin rings and place a real or silk rose through the holder as well. Set a small Cupid figurine near each plate. Scatter Hershey's kisses around the table. CONTINUED....

Make Money This Easter With Your Own Personalized Letter Writing Business
By Liz Folger, Work-at-Home Mom Expert

Most likely you’ve heard about the business of selling personalized letters from Santa during Christmas time, but did you know this business could actually be run throughout the year?

Spring is going to be on us before we know it and we all know that means Easter is on its way. The Easter Bunny is usually a pretty quiet guy, but thanks to the letter writing business, we can help him break his silence.

Can you imagine how excited a child will be when they get a letter from the Easter Bunny? Kids love Easter! The candy, colored eggs, Easter egg hunts - most kids are very familiar with the Easter Bunny who secretly drops off their Easter Basket each year.

However you can create any type of letters for spring; they don’t have to be just from the Easter Bunny. You can pick any type of characters you want that you think kids are going to want to get a letter from.

Daycares

Selling these letters can be a lot of fun. Visit your local daycare centers and see if you can send home a flyer with the kids. To help them to decide that this is a great idea, you can tell them the daycare will get $1 for each letter sold.

This is also a great way to advertise your business. A few children get letters from the Easter Bunny and of course they’re going to want to bring those letters to daycare to show all their friends. Those friends will go home and say how wonderful this was and how much they wish they had received a letter. You get the picture?

Hospitals

Is there a children’s hospital in your local area? One idea would be to start an Easter letter program where people pay for a letter to be donated to a child in the hospital. Hospital stays can be very long. Just imagine how nice it would be for hospitalized children to get a letter like this? Not only will the child feel good, but the person who donated a letter is going to feel very good too.

A great way to promote this idea would be to send out press releases to your local newspaper and TV news stations. You might even think about contacting your local talk radio shows about doing a show on this idea.

Churches

Some Churches publish a monthly newsletter. Advertising your Easter Letter to kids and Adults would be a wonderful idea. Here you could offer Easter Bunny, Angel letters, or a general Easter Religious letter. This might even be something that could be put in the weekly bulletin.

A Fun And Rewarding Business

Making money with Easter Letters can really be a lot of fun and very rewarding too. It’s a great feeling when that first parent calls you to tell you how happy their son or daughter is because of the special letter they received in the mail.

Easter is just one of the Holidays you can use to promote your letters. Halloween has pumpkins and witches. Letters from the tooth fairy, or a general letter to say “Hey, good job being helpful around the house and being nice to your sister,” are also great letter ideas for this business.

If you market your letters all year, when Christmas comes around you will have a list of people who have already purchased from you. Then, when they want to buy that Santa letter, who else would they think of buying it from but you?!

Writing specialty letters is a wonderful business for moms to start. If you want further information on how to start this type of business visit:

Make It Your Business To Increase A Childs Self-Worth
By Liz Folger, Work-at-home mom expert and founder of Bizymoms.com

Have you ever given your young child some of your junk mail and told them it was their mail? Did you see how excited they got and how important they felt? My girls would all of a sudden act like they were very important and "read" their mail as if they were the next big hotshot executives.

One thing I enjoy about children is their honest expression of their emotions. Of course it isn't pretty when your child decides to throw the fattest tantrum in the middle of your grocery shopping experience but really haven't you felt like doing that yourself at times? Imagine how much better you'd probably feel if you felt that frustration, expressed it, and then got up, dusted yourself off, and went on your way?

Children have this marvelous way of feeling their emotions, something adults should look into a bit more themselves. I think that's why as adults we receive so much pleasure giving our little ones gifts. It sure feels good when a child you love and adore shows such happy appreciation for something you've given them.

There's a business out there you can get into that helps increase a child's self-worth and can make a child very happy. So much so you are sure to get repeat business from happy parents and relatives. And really, isn't that the best form of marketing, selling your product to your satisfied customers over and over again?

When I was a child, I loved Holidays, and actually still do to this day. Holidays are a magical experience. Then there is the experience of loosing a tooth or days a child is extra nice to their little brother and sister. They say positive reinforcement is the best way to remind a child how they should act. In the article "Why Positive Reinforcement Works," by Brenda L. Gargus, Brenda said, "Positive communication is a tool to reinforce good behavior and eliminate bad behavior; it builds self-esteem and inspires confidence in children."

What if you could actually start a business from home and your business was to increase a child's self-confidence, and offer a service where parents could use a form of positive reinforcement with their kids?

An online article at askdrsears.com talks about how self-esteem as a child effects your adult years. It explains that, "Self-esteem is your child's passport to lifetime mental health and social happiness. It's the foundation of a child's well being and the key to success as an adult. At all ages, how you feel about yourself affects how you act. Think about a time when you were feeling really good about yourself. You probably found it much easier to get along with others and feel good about them."

Bizyletters.com offers the above and a whole lot more. Some of you might have heard about the business of Santa Letters. This is where a parent fills out a form about the child including information such as the names of their friends, siblings, pets, activities they do very well, etc. Then you use the information to create a very personalized letter for that child and send it to them during the Christmas Holiday.

The Bizyletters opportunity offers Santa Letters, but it also offers templates for letters from the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Great Pumpkin and too many more to mention here.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone asked you what you did for a living and you could say, "My job is to make children feel very very special and most importantly loved?" Gifts might come and go, but a letter from Santa, or the tooth fairy is something parents keep to put in scrapbooks, and baby books. It's a special memory for a child who has no doubt he must be the most important person in the world.
