The post Day 7 of 10 Days of Celebrating Mom-Giveaway to Pamper Mom appeared first on The Mom Maven.

Here are some tips we highly recommend families using when hiring a caregiver:
1.  Do a background check on the caregiver that you hire.  Definitely run a criminal background check, e.g., background check for employment.  If the caregiver will be transporting the children or doing errands; you will also want to run a driving record.
2.  Do your reference checks.  When getting phone #’s on the references; we highly recommend you can call land lines – since you can track the land lines on who the # belongs to.
3.  Make sure you spell out and have a detailed conversation on the expectations for the caregiver.  Have the caregiver ask numerous questions as well.  Communication is the best tool for a successful relationship.
4.  Not sure what questions to ask the caregiver?  Take advantage of the sample list of questions we have for registered members at www.care4hire.com 5.  If you do not see the caregiver often; have a notepad where you can both make notes for a communication tool.

Today’s giveaway is for a 1 month membership to Care4Hire, where you can do your research and contact caregivers in your area. This 1 month membership is values at $29.99.

How to Enter: Visit Care4Hire and look around. Then come back here and leave me a comment letting me know what kind of caregiver you are looking for ie. pet sitter, tutor etc.

The post Day 6 of 10 Days of Celebrating Mom-Giveaway-Peace of Mind appeared first on The Mom Maven.

I am a totebag queen, there are probably 20+ different types of totebags in my house. None of them have been good for grocery shopping-until I got my Joey Totes. My boys and I have used our Joey Totes and have carried a lot of grocries in them. The Joey Totes come in 2 sizes the Big Joey is 18″ x 28″x 5″ and folds into its attached 9.5″ x 5″ pouch. The Small Joey is 14″ x 21″ x 4″ and folds into its attached 8″ x4″ pouch. I carry my 2 small Joeys inside my large Joey and they fit right in my purse so I always have them when I need them.

I will say Joey Totes are probably the least fashionable of all of my bags-they are steel gray ripstop nylon, but they do a job none of my other totes do. My 3 Joey Totes carry at least the equivalent of 5-6 plastic grocery bags, including a gallon of milk! Joey Totes can be hand washed and line dried so if something should spill in them, you can clean them right up.

You can only purchase the Joey Totes at their website, the awesome people at Joey Totes are offering all of The Mom Maven readers 10% off of their orders during the month of May! Just use the coupon code MomMavenSaves at check out and receive your discount.

The post Day 4 of 10 Days of Celebrating Mom-Giveaway for the Green Mom appeared first on The Mom Maven.

As you can see in the photo, the week runs Monday through Sunday. The top portion of the page is for mom’s schedule and to-dos and is broken into AM, NOON, and PM. Below that are slots for 4 additional schedules (kids and husband) and then at the bottom is a slot for dinner! How awesome is that?

In the front of the book there is reference material including favorite websites, online resources, important toll free numbers, and holidays. Each month starts with a monthly calendar so you can see the big picture and that is followed by the weekly calendar pages. In the back of the momAgenda there is a mini 2010 calendar so you can make note of any birthdays, anniversarys or upcoming plans before you get your next year’s momAgenda. The back also features pages for you to notate books to read, movies to watch, gifts to purchase, party planning notes, vacation planning guide and lots of blank pages for you to fill however you wish. Also in the back is a removable momEssentials booklet which is an address book, phone book and so much more.
