Jul16	Try Empire Today for Your Next Home Improvement Project Know More Media July 16, 2008 Know More: Sponsored Reviews As if juggling a family and working from home weren’t difficult enough, add other projects such as home improvement to the mix and things can get a little hectic to say the least. One of the main difficulties with home improvement projects is finding competent and dependable help. Empire Today is a home improvement store with a long history specializing in flooring, windows and bath renovation products. For 50 years Empire Today has cultivated a brand and has become a household name. Founded in 1959 and based in Northlake, Empire Today has offices in major cities across the US and Canada. As a brand, the company has become a cultural icon of sorts with several generations of people coming to know and recognize both the Empire Man and the "588-2300 Empire Today" jingle internationally...Oh that catchy jingle that is burned into our brains... And their commercials were always campy and funny. While most notably known for their carpet, Empire Today is a full service home improvement store offers other types of quality flooring, including hardwood, laminate flooring, and ceramic flooring. And they do windows too! Continue Reading Posted at 1:58 PM \| Permalink \| Comments (3)
Jun 4	A Happy, Sad Time of Opportunities and Farewells Laura Spencer June 4, 2008 Know More: Announcements On Monday I posted about my oldest child's graduation. It's a time of excitement and change for her. Opportunities and learning opportunities await her, and she can't wait get started, to move on to new things. Like my daughter, I'm now facing a time of excitement and change. You see, it's time for me to move on to new opportunities as well. This is my last post here at Work From Home Momma. It's been nearly a year since I wrote my first post here, and I have to say that I've enjoyed every bit of it. I've learned so much. The team here at Know More Media is terrific and I know that I've made many long-term friends. I'll miss them very much. Most of all, I'll miss you, the readers. This blog has been for you. I've always strived to make this blog the kind of resource that would have helped me when I first started working from home. During my time here I've enjoyed getting to know work-from-home moms all over the world and I hope to continue to hear from some of them. The truth is, I've learned as much from all of you as you may have learned from me. Farewells are hard to make, but I believe that the future holds much promise for all of us - for me, for my daughter, for Know More Media, and for you who read this blog. *Best wishes to all!* Image Source: www.sxc.hu Posted at 8:39 AM \| Permalink \| Comments (10)

May29	Dealing With High Fuel Prices (Part 3 - Saving Gas) Laura Spencer May 29, 2008 Know More: Business in the News For the past few days, we've been running a series on rising fuel costs. This is the third in the four part series. Earlier installments in the series included: How Will The Rising Cost of Gas Prices Impact Your Home Business?

May28	How Gas Prices Affect You and What To Do About It (Part 2 - The Grocery Game) Laura Spencer May 28, 2008 Know More: Business in the News Yesterday I began a series on the high price of fuel and how it affects you. (Note:* I'm still looking for reader comments for the final piece in the series, to be published later this week.)* High fuel prices impact businesses directly, by increasing the cost of transportation. They also impact businesses indirectly by increasing the cost of goods (as the manufacturers increase prices to keep up with the fuel cost). If you have a family, then this means that your grocery prices are increasing. More money spent on groceries means that your home business has to earn more to maintain your family's lifestyle. I've found a neat way of dealing with the high cost of groceries that saves me about $5,000 a year. For the past for years, I've been using The Grocery Game to control my family's grocery costs.

May26	Happy Memorial Day, 2008 Laura Spencer May 26, 2008 Know More: Business in the News Today is Memorial Day in the United States. This is a day set aside to honor those who gave their lives for the country. Many towns and cities will have parades and picnics. For most U.S. workers, this is day off to spend with friends and family. The Memorial Day holiday goes all the way back to the Civil War in the United States.
