You can join with the USO and Cheerios in helping send a little cheer to our military families.

For each postcard received, Cheerios will donate $1.00 to the USO to help support the programs for our troops families. Cheerios has already donated overs $150K and will donate an additional $100K based upon the number of postcards received by Nov. 30, 2012.
Here’s what you do to participate:
Once you have mailed them, the USO will make sure they get into the hands of military families on bases and in USO centers. How easy is this…super easy! So don’t forget to pick up your box and help out! Spread some cheer!!

Hickory Farms Gifts for your loved ones!!
Ever since I was a little girl here in Michigan, I remember our family receiving a Hickory Farms Gift set. There was something special about the little blocks of cheese and what I remember the most was the dips and sausage. My parents would slice up everything to present on a platter and we would snack on them all day long. YUMMY! I believe this is part of the reason why I love cheese so much! I tried all different kinds and loved them all.

“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Hickory Farms and received a product sample to facilitate my review.”
As a mother of three I am always on the run and hardly ever have time to do anything for myself. So I was excited to find out that I had an opportunity to review the SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip. Now here is why I am so excited..my kiddos think I am so lame cause I don’t have an mp3 player. The reason why is that I need to hear my kids and running around the house with headphones on is not an option with small kids in the house. Well, this last week the kids were excited to see that Mom is not so lame anymore since here Sansa Clip Zip arrived last week.
Here is what I love about it.
I can upload all of my favorite songs and I can attach it to my shirt or pants and get the house work done while jamming to my favorite songs. I am a huge fan of music…it moves me. So now now not only does it move me it gets my kiddos dancing around the house. Great exercise for all of us. This product is easy to upload with your favorite songs and it offers 4 GB or up to 1000 songs that can be stored at one time. Tiny and compact which is perfect for a busy Mom! I love that I can also set it right by my computer while I am working at home. GREAT PRODUCT!

Letting an outsider influence your brand’s social-media presence can be a scary thing. You’re giving a consultant or an agency an enormous amount of power over your brand — and probably paying them a pretty penny. You know you need help to make your social-media efforts bear fruit. But how can you be sure you’re bringing in the right person?
At the 2010 BlogWorld Expo, panelists shared their takes on the social-media hiring process. As the panelists — each of whom is no stranger to the process — talked, they returned again and again to three fundamental questions that companies need to have answers to before confidently bringing a consultant or an agency on board.
What do we really need to accomplish? Jim Tobin said that company need to start the hiring process by asking themselves a tough question: “What do I mean when I say, ‘social media,’ and what do I want out of it?” Too often, companies come into the process with unrealistic expectations, such as demanding a viral video, he notes. Make sure you search for a consultant is driven by realistic, clearly defined goals. But don’t be put off if a prospective hire challenges those goals, said C.C. Chapman. A good consultant will ask a lot of difficult questions right away and be upfront with you when you’re wrong.
What has this person accomplished? Don’t become so overwhelmed by the novelty of social media that you forget to do the basic due diligence that comes with any hiring process, said Chapman. When you interview prospective hires, don’t be dazzled by the names of the companies they’ve worked for — make them explain exactly what they did on each of those campaigns, he recommends. Don’t be shy about calling reference and confirming places of employment, he adds. Being thorough doesn’t just keep the charlatans at bay — it also helps you understand who this person is and whether they’ll be a good fit for the brand.
What can this person do for me? A consultant’s good ideas are their livelihood. You can (and should) ask for a sample of what they’re offering, but you’re not establishing a healthy long-term relationship if you’re asking them to give everything away up front. Resist the urge to load your request for proposal with every possible question, said David Armano. Ask the questions that will really matter to you brand and will define what you’re trying to accomplish. Armano added that companies should avoid asking for a five-year social-media strategy. A two-year plan is much more reasonable, he said, as long as the company understands that the framework will become more conceptual the farther into the future it projects.
