Morning!
I’m pleased to announce that my family had a simply wondrous restful weekend for the most part (yay!). Nothing really too new and/or exciting; kids can’t wait for the anime conference next Saturday (nor for school to end!), I’m preparing Camp Ling, and….wait a sec! Camp Ling! Must explain about that but first….
Business wise! We had some great questions on the forum like
- Currency converters
- Starting a Dog walking business?
- ParanormalPeopleOnline.com – Do You Believe?
- Recognition of Achievement Semi-Finalists
A really great lens by Ulla over at
and a new lens by me:
And! Guess what – I’ve been accepted into the RocketMoms Squidoo group! I’m utterly thrilled about this – I’ve always said the best way to learn something new is to learn from the best…and the women in that group are far and away BEYOND the best. Very happy indeed!
In other news…..
CAMP LING!
Yes, this will be the 5th year I’ve run Camp Ling, yay! Camp Ling, for those not in the know, is the spine-tingling excitement that I prepare for my kids during the 3 months of summer.
This year, academics-wise, the girls will be focusing upon creative writing and the boys will work on just plain writing/grammar and math.
Fun-wise, we’ll be doing the usual hunt-for-sharks-teeth, visit the science museum, run the mooses, hack the weeds and all that.
And because my kids are finally realizing that hey! Mom refuses to spend money on idjut things!, they all want to make money this summer too.
Thus, I’ll be teaching them how to blog, how to set up Squidoo lenses, how to drive traffic from one area to another, how to set up affiliate programs, etc.etc.etc.
I mentioned this to several karate moms, and they wanted to learn the techniques too! One idea led to another, and thus the first Virtual Coach Inner Circle was born:
Kids Make Money Summer 2009
I’m charging only $10 for three months, and will be showing other parents the step-by-step ways they can help their kids (heck, even themselves) profit online. Should be fun!
And that was me Sunday,

Barbara,
your idea of “Camp Ling” is highly fascinating. Here in Germany holidays are still quite some weeks, even months away (depending on the region). But then there will be the question how to spend a 6 weeks holiday. Could you maybe make a lense out of it?
And I am just reflecting on a kind of mini Camp Ling for the weekend – but that’s just kidding around.

It’s a great way to spend the summer, actually – kids enjoy it, I get a kick out of the stuff we do together, and all in all, it’s very enjoyable indeed.
A lens about Camp Ling? What a great idea! The wheels are turning….
