Frugal WAHM Talk Radio  

On today's show we had the pleasure of interviewing Josh from Momfaves.com. First off let me state that it is so refreshing to meet a man who truly truly understands all the struggles Moms go through in our daily lives. Thank goodness Josh is married to his beautiful wife Rebecca, because I was afraid out chatroom members would try to run way with him lol. Ok seriously, Josh started this site with his wife Rebecca to honor his Mother's memory who sadly passed away from Cancer four years ago. Having techincal background, he wanted to offer a place that allowed Mom's to have a voice to share their favorite sites, recipes and so much more.

We are had two great guest speakers on today's show! Our first interview was with Carol McManus a wonderful cookbook author, she actually sent me a copy of her newest cookbook titled "Table Talk, Food, Family and Love" This is the best cookbook I have ever owned, the recipes require minimal ingredients, they are easy to make, very flavorful and help you to bring homecooking back to your dinner table. One of the topics we really discuss during today's show is how when we grew up we ate dinner at the dinner table every night and it was a great way to communicate with our parents and to let them know what was going on in our lives. But in today's tech savy lifestyle we rely too much on fast food and always running, that we forget how important just a simple home cooked meal around the dinner table can be which was the inspriration for Carol on writing this cookbook. Be sure to check out our website to find out how you can order Carol's cookbook you will love it as much as I do!

On today’s show we had Suzy Yahl Marta The Founder and President of Rainbows a wonderful organization that helps chidren with grief and loss through situations like divorce, death, family member deployed, in prison, or other painful seperations. This was a wonderful interview, Suzy was very relaxed and very easy to speak to and so informative. Suzy explained how after her own painful divorce and not finding good resources to help her children through this difficult time she began working with other concerned parents. Before she knew she was organizing weekend retreats for both single parents and the children involved to help them deal during this difficult time in their lives. Soon Suzy began working on a formal curriculum which soon became the foundation for Rainbows.

On today's show we were so honored to have with us Book Author Karen Gonzalez. Karen was here to share with us her latests E-book titled "Family Folktales: What Are Yours?". We learned alot about Karen today, she shared with us that every since she was eight years old she found herself writing and it became a passion for her. As a child she remembered taking childhood books and rewriting them to create her own story. Later on Karen developed a career as a journalist featured in several magazine and as a Journalist for several well known companies. Karen explained to us how she got started in writing FolkTalk writing and she also explained a little bit more about what exactly FolkTale writing is. Along with telling us how she got started she shared some great tips with us for if you wanted to try your pen or keyboard at Folktale writing. Some of the wonderful tips she shared is a FolkTale is simply how you perceived or understood a story you were told or heard. It does not have to be filled with tons of accurate information but it is your sharing a story or something that happened in your point of view or how you saw it. One of the things we discussed was how easy it is for author's of any kind whether it is a book author or blog author,
