A slice of Steal Network history.

Just over four years ago...

...dreams can come true, people. You just gotta make it happen.

Hi Emily!

How are you? Are you working at Simmons? I am writing to see if you do freelance websites. I am still at KSL but I am starting my own Internet company this year. On nights and weekends I am working on it and hope to be able to work on it full-time sometime this year. I have told no one at work.

It is a very exciting concept and I am hoping to launch the website by the end of March. The main company will probably be called Steals, Inc. and the first website I’ll launch will be www.babysteals.com. Right now if you go there, I just redirected it to blogspot where I have a write-up about it. I think you will like it!

The past few weeks I have been researching how to build the website – I have almost signed up with Network Solutions ecommerce and Yahoo has one, too. But the templates they have available although customizable, aren’t what I want. I just downloaded Dreamweaver and it’s all greek to me!

Anyway, before I bore you to death with all my chatter, I am wondering if you do any freelance work. If so, let’s discuss! I’ll give you an idea of what I need to have done and we can chat about it.

If all goes well, in a year or so I’ll have quite the company going!

Feel free to call me on my cell phone or email me back!

ProBar Giveaway!



I'm one of ProBar's sponsored mom athletes and I wanted to share with you my love for ProBars! They're the perfect whole-food replacement bar.


They go with me skiing, to work, anywhere I'm on the go and have saved me from that 'starving' feeling many times! My boys love them too - they don't last long around our house. They don't last long around Steal Network either - many a time staff will come to my office door asking, "Do you happen to have any ProBars on you?"












Have you ever tried the HALO bars? My favorite is Nutty Marshmallow. mmmmm......

To share my love for them, I'm giving away two boxes of 12 each worth over $55! 12 HALO bars and 12 ProBar whole food meal bars. Yum!

To enter, visit ProBar's site and come back here and leave a comment on what flavor you think would be your favorite (or is your favorite, if you've tried them!)


Winner picked via random.org on 3/18 at 9pm MST and announced on 3/19! Good luck!

Potty Time by Signing Time

Have you *seen* the latest release by the creators of Signing Time yet? In my opinion the best dvd for toddlers to be released in a long time, Potty Time! I promise I'm not biased because my adorable sweet daughter Jane is in it. But, she seriously she's so cute in it. Check her out right at the beginning at :05.



And don't think I'm biased because Rachel is my dearest friend. It's because it's a positive, playful reinforcement for toddlers (and let's face it...parents!) on potty training. It's because the songs are catchy, fun, and worthy of singing during many daily occasions like Jane's favorite, "Let's Celebrate!"

Pin It


It's because it gets toddlers and parents on the same positive page about potty training. It's because it gives toddlers the tools (and signs) to communicate with parents and listen to their amazing bodies. It's because its entertaining yet educational television with a purpose.

It's because it can change the feeling around potty training for hundreds of thousands (and I am sure eventually, millions) of families worldwide. So, if you're approaching the potty training phase, don't even hesitate! You'll be glad you did.
