About
About Me….
Mom. Wife. Blogger. Web Developer. Small Business Owner.
Loves: My husband. My son. My family. My dog.
Extreme Likes: Reality television, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, movies, Netflix, Roku, the 80′s, chocolate, Wayne Dyer, computers, geeky things, Twitter
Extreme Dislikes: hate, war, close-minded people, narrow-minded viewpoints, mean girls, people who use the word, “can’t”.
My story: I’ve learned that everything changes when you have a child. Time flies throughout the day, and getting things accomplished becomes harder and harder. Prior to my son being born, I started to make changes in how I did things so that I would be prepared for the time-crunch that having a baby can create.
What I learned was that automating tasks, or simply creating “systems” for getting things done would help me the most. I’m a technology junkie, so finding ways to use my computer or the Internet to accomplish tasks faster and more efficiently became my primary focus.
Basically, I’ll be using this site to share tips and resources that I’ve discovered that work for me. Will everything I post be relevant to you? Probably not….in fact, if you are not a small business owner like I am, you may find some of my posts unnecessary. But I’ll always try to find ways to help you apply these tips and resources to a variety of tasks so that you can decide for yourself if they are worthwhile for you.
In short, my goal with this site is to show you how to:
~Save money
~Save time
~Find new ways of getting things accomplished
~Find resources
~Enjoy your day more by getting more accomplished in less time and with less effort
Advertising
Obviously, since I’m writing and providing tips for you for free, I need to support this site financially through advertising. You can read all about the advertising options I offer here.
Comments and Feedback
I welcome comments and your feedback and always have the comments “open” on all of my posts. In fact, if you post a comment with your URL, a plugin I’ve installed called “CommentLuv” will visit your website and pull your most recent blog post and post it alongside your comment! Feel free to leave comments on how tips worked (or didn’t work) for you and comments on others’ comments as well!
Hosting
AutomaticMoms.Com is reliably hosted by Dreamhost, the only hosting company that I use. I have been their customer since 2000 and have been extremely pleased with their service and pricing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dreamhost for anyone who runs a website and wants reliable service, low pricing and access to such features as “one-click installs” (including WordPress, the software that runs AutomaticMoms.com), unlimited hosted domains, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited sub-domains, and a free domain name registration with all new accounts! In fact, use coupon code, AUTOMATICMOMS to receive a full $50 off your new hosting account! Pricing starts as low as $8.95 per month.

In accordance with Google’s advertising policy (I display ads from Google on this site) I’ve posted a “privacy policy” that can be read here: Privacy Policy for AutomaticMoms.Com. Questions about it can be directed to me by submitting a support ticket at my help desk. The help desk is where you can contact me directly about technical issues with the site, advertising inquiries or anything else.

In order to be in compliance with new FTC regulations, I should mention that I will be reviewing products and services on this site. If I am reviewing something, and I call it a review, that means I have personally used the product or service and the opinions are solely mine. If I was compensated for the review, I will tell you. This site also will include affiliate links for products and services and if you click on them and make a purchase I will earn a commission. I also sell advertising on this site which is typically located in the sidebar of the site. I also make mention of products and services which I have not personally used, but will never construe those opinions as a “review”. As with all purchases, you should do your own due diligence before purchasing a product or service and consider my opinions just that….an opinion that may or may not agree with yours. Of course, all entries on this site have a comment section where you can post your own opinion or ask a question. Hope that makes our relationship clear and I hope that you continue to find my reviews, tips and tools as informative as many of you have said they are!
Thanks again for visiting!
