Create lists of plants you’ve grown or garden to do lists on Meosphere

by Tricia

I just joined an interesting site called Meosphere. The site is a collection of lists, and links that site members have created. Each member can create their own Meosphere.

As the sites about page says we all have our Meosphere. You could even say this blog has it’s own meosphere, a gardening meosphere perhaps.

The best way to explain this site to you is to show you.

I went looking for gardening related items and I found a Meosphere list had had already been started. It’s called “Flowers You’ve grown”. I went through the list and ticked off all the flowers on the list that I’ve grown at some point in my life or that are currently growing in my garden. Then I saved a list of the flowers I’ve grown as my own list. I can’t find an embed list link for my own list though so I’ll just paste the first list here to show you:

Now we all know that even more flowers could be added to that list but that’s the beauty of the meosphere lists. You can place a check mark beside all the flowers on this list that you grow and save your own copy of the list. Then you can add even more flowers to it if you’d like. You can even edit your saved list to add descriptions and photos of each item.

Can you see the possibilities?

I think I may spend a bit of time on Meosphere later today. I might create some gardening to do lists. You know, specific spring, summer, and autumn gardening tasks for Zone 5b gardeners. Others on the site can find my lists and make their own copies adding tasks specific to their own gardening zones. You could also make lists of your gardening books, favorite garden tools, and so on. I love it.

You could make lists of just about anything in this manner and since we’re bloggers it could be yet another way to interact with our readers.

Please do feel free to check off the flowers that you grow on this list and make your own list out of it. I’d love to visit your meospheres to see what you’ve created and see lists of what you’ve been growing.

Motherhood Redefined Luxury weekend – Special promo code 75 percent discount!

by Tricia

Ladies! I’ve just been given permission to tell you about a very special promotion. Motherhood Redefined is going to be holding a Mom’s luxury weekend getaway for self re-discovery this September 21st to 23rd in Phoenix Arizona.

Think about it … a weekend away from everyday life, accommodations in a four star luxury resort, celebrity speakers and interesting events including a fashion show.

Celebrity guest speakers that will be at the event are keynote speaker and relationship expert John Gray, Sheila Kelley of S-Factor fame, Dr. Lana Holstein will discuss intimacy, and Kathy Buckley – comedian and motivational speaker as well as a few other celebrity guest speakers who’ve also been guests on Oprah.

The point of the whole weekend is to give mothers a change to get away from their “mother hood” and have a chance to rediscover themselves, make connections with other women, spark their passions and interests again and just to treat themselves to an enjoyable and entertaining weekend.

Along with the guest speakers and fashion show, those attending Mother Redefined will also get to attend special interactive workshops such as learning how to dance the Salsa.

Now, the reason why I’m so excited about this is because the people running Motherhood Redefined decided to leak word of a very special promotion to only a few bloggers. I was one of the lucky few and I now have the privilege of letting you in on a special deal that will give you 75% off the regular price of the event.

If you use this special promotion code – 7575 – you’ll be able to attend all of the events, see all of the speakers and stay in the four star resort for only $319.50. Yes that’s right. Everything I’ve mentioned above is included in that price. The normal price for this event is $1,278! So you can see what a deal this special promo really is.

I know that a lot of women read this blog. Why don’t you treat yourself to a weekend away from the “mother hood”? Tell a good friend and go to the Motherhood Redefined event together. Just don’t forget to use the special promo code 7575 if and when you sign up!

Submit your posts to Thoof and gain site visitors!

by Tricia

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a site called Thoof. Did you visit the site? I think Thoof is a great site. You can read the latest news on the site in the form of blog and website posts that have been submitted to the site, and the Thoof system remembers what you’ve clicked on in the past so when you visit the site articles that Thoof thinks will be of interest to you are shown on the front page. In this way Thoof can very easily become your very own personalized news website.

As I said when I posted about Thoof a couple of weeks ago, you can submit your own posts and articles to the site. It’s really easy to submit and when you do you’ll start to see new visitors coming to your site to read the full story. A number of bloggers that I know have been submitting their articles regularly and they’ve been quite happy at the traffic that they’ve been getting from Thoof.

The creators of Thoof have even created a new badge called the ThoofRank badge. When you submit one of your articles you’ll be given the code for the ThoofRank badge that you can then place in your post. The ThoofRank will let you and your visitors know how popular your story is on the Thoof site. Cool huh?

Speaking of Thoof. Ever since I heard of Thoof.com I’ve wondered how they came up with that name. I even searched the site to see if there was any info on how the name came to be Thoof but there isn’t.

I have an idea of how the site was named. I think that the creators of the site were sitting in a room talking about what they should name this current news community. On the table in front of them were bowls of peanuts, and various fruits to snack on. I can picture one of the site creators leaning forward and grabbing some cherries to eat, but when he bit down on one of the cherries one of his teeth cracked! In horrendous pain he said “Oh my thoof, my thoof!”.

The others deep in conversation about the name of the site didn’t understand what had happened and as he kept repeating Thoof and pointing to his cracked tooth they thought the name Thoof was a suggestion for the site name. Since the person with the cracked tooth was being so enthusiastic they took a vote right away and that’s how Thoof got it’s name.

What do you think? That’s the only way I can imagine how Thoof got it’s name.

Hey, don’t forget to submit your gardening posts to Thoof! They definitely need more garden related stories there.
