Spring has sprung and Mom’s Talk News has been reborn!

Well, maybe not reborn but it got a facelift, if you will.

Our new format of having guest bloggers is fun and promises to provide lots of different viewpoints and topical information for moms. Each of our guest bloggers has experience and expertise to share and will help you sort through any tough questions you may face as a mother.

This week in our Money & Finance section, Patricia Garza of Little Bytes News shares five websites that help moms live and shop frugally. If you need help saving money, shopping wisely, ideas for inexpensive Mother’s Day gifts, or saving money on clothes, check out Frugal Link Love For Moms.

Suzanne Monroe of Real Life Foods shares tips for Healthy Eating On-the-Go in our Health & Wellness section. She shares the top four mistakes busy moms make when preparing meals for our families. Correcting even one of these mistakes at a time will improve your health and that of your family.

If you have ever dreamed of working from home or owning a home-based business, Nell Taliercio of The Answer Lady Network has 99 Powerful Freelance Telecommuting Tips: First Installment for making working from home successful. There’s so much great info that we had to break it into three segments!

If you’re tired of the corporate rat race and are thinking of becoming a stay-at-home mother, read Christina Lemmey’s Tips for Transitioning from Career Woman to Stay at Home Mom. Like any other milestone in life, you need to allow for a period of transition before you find your comfort level and new routine that satisfies all of your family members’ needs.

Tracy Roberts is the owner of All Aboard Travel and shares with us the Top Ten Places to Travel With Teens. Teens and tweens can get picky about where they want to go on vacation and are also entering that phase of not wanting to spend time with the family (because we’re so embarassing, right?). If you start planning and saving money NOW, you can plan an exciting vacation adventure that will have enough diverse activities to suit even the pickiest teen in your family.

Maureen Kellis of Put Your Nose In My Business offers Simple but Stunning Candlescaping Ideas for Spring. If you normally just light a favorite scented candle in your kitchen, Maureen shares easy tips for decorating with candles to help create ambiance and set the mood in your home.
