Welcome back to the Kidswap blog!
I've been avoiding it myself. For the past year I have had little to nothing to report. Have you ever wanted to have a successful business?? So did I. After those two morons tried to run me into the ground and caused me to go into debt over the site, I lost interest and focus. It's been difficult to get back. However, a new and interesting thing has started to occur. The site traffic has tripled. I'm not sure how it happened (maybe because it's number one in a lot of relevant key words on google?) but it's nice to see. On a good day, it's over 1000 unique visitors, and the registrations are ongoing every day. It's a good thing for the moms who sell here, and it's nice that it's got the people to keep it going. The worst thing about getting scammed by a bunch of con artists? It wasn't losing the money, it was losing Kidswap. It was a dream for me, kind of like my Disney dream, and everyone needs dreams don't they?

Now you want to know my Disney dream, don't you?? I have always loved Disneyland. I cry when I get there, I cry when I leave, I feel happy just sitting on a bench on main street. It is my happy place. The trouble? It's expensive to fly there. When I was going to the Dragon's Den to pitch for $100,000, someone asked me what I would do if I got the money. Obviously, I would have worked on Kidswap. But for myself? I would have bought a seasons pass to Disney. That's the dream, as silly as it sounds. During a year that was nothing short of horrible, and a life that is still so stressful even on a day to day basis, I would like to be able to always access my happy place. AND, I'd always take my babies with me. For an example of our love of Disney, check this video out on Youtube:

I've been working on a book, but it's not a book on scamming mom anymore. I decided to write a chick lit book. I'm about 30 pages in, so it's starting to feel real to me. I like the characters, like the story, it seems like something I'd read. My only concern is that I don't have a feeling for the level of detail it needs and I just may suck at the inner chatting. Oh well, I'm trying anyway.

Thanks to all who stop by and take a peek. If you are a mom with a business, good luck to you. I hope you fulfill your business dreams!
