Last week a wrote a post about the Midwest Baby Fest and their investigation by the Illinois Attorney General for consumer fraud.  This post is an update to the situation.

I have been contacted by several vendors from Chicago, Sioux Falls and Minnesota about the pending investigation and allegations against them for cancelling shows and not issuing refunds to the vendors.  They have also been accused of writing in excess of $10,000 in bad checks.  I have not heard one good word from any of the vendors and it appears there is a “witch hunt” going on.

There are always 2 sides to the story.  In this case, there seems to be about 50 sides to the story.  The only side I can be sure of, is mine.  In short, as a confirmed vendor for their Chicago show, I was neither informed about the cancellation nor had I received a refund.  As of today, “I did receive a full refund”. Although I did receive my refund, it does not hold them harmless for their lack of responsibility in handling this situation properly and professionally.  I still hold strong to my prior statements of not being able to reach management, never being told the show was cancelled and being out more than just my booth fee.  But this is neither here no there.  The bottom line is that I did receive a refund.

For the sake of not making their burden any heavier, I received my refund and contacted the Illinois Attorney General to make them aware of the refund issuance.  I also removed my original post in hopes that they can somehow make their horrible situation better.

I wish you ladies the best of luck in dealing with all of this and I feel awful for you if you’re true intentions were good, but somehow went south. Whether that is the fact of the matter is between you and the attorney general.

Walking with a slight limp and a smile from ear to ear, Bret Michaels made it to the season Finale of the Celebrity Apprentice and Won the Title “Celebrity Apprentice”…

I grew up in the 80’s with the sounds of the hair bands playing in all avenues.  Undoubtedly, Poison was one of my favorites.  I had my perception of what I thought a rock star was like.  However, after watching this season of Celebrity Apprentice, I may have changed my mind.  In the beginning of the season, I really didn’t think Bret Michaels would make it too far.  He was way to calm and nice.  Many of the contestants, including seasons past, have huge, often times, back-stabbing, vicious personalities.  This is a far cry from Bret Michael’s personality.  He’s really sweet, soft spoken and an all around nice guy.

After a couple of weeks, you changed my mind about you.  I started to think, perhaps, you would be around for a lot longer. Often times, because you stayed out of the drama and were never a target of frustration or anger from the project manager.  This could undoubtedly become a great strategy for future contestants;  Keep you mouth shut, do the task your pm assigns you and for the love of God, don’t back stab any of your team members.    Aside from that, Bret had some really great ideas; whether they were taken or not, they were always amusing and fun.  As a consumer, I appreciated this less stuffy approach.  You made brands fun, brought them to life and connected the human aspect of each of them.

Bret pushed every task to the absolute limit; giving each task a fun, rock star edge.  One would tend to think that stuffy nosed corporate types would not be endulged by having their brand do the “tour bus thrust”.  You more often than not, had the executive’s eyes popping out of their heads, all-the-while, engaging their funny bone.  They really embraced your out-of-the box creativity.  You definitely had me cracking up!

It was no surprise that Donald chose Bret and Holly Robinson Peete to be the finalists.  I love Holly too.  I grew up watching her on 21 Jump Street.

Going up against Holly, I had to say, I was a little nervous for Bret.  She is an amazing mom and woman.  Her strength comes from the love of her child.  As a mom, to know that power is to truly appreciate how it can motivate you. So, I was a bit scared for Bret going into the finale.   At the end though, I thought both developed amazing Snapple campaigns. Like Donald, I loved Holly’s collateral cover, but loved Bret’s inside piece.  I liked both commercials equally, but liked Holly’s label design a bit more.  I was really up in the air about who would win.  They both did an amazing job. Unfortunately, Holly’s fate was sealed when the show decided to enhance Bret’s chances by showing a clip of him embracing his daughter.  I do think this was a bit of a disadvantage for Holly.  They should have done the same for her.  It was at this point, that the producers showed me who they wanted the winner to be.  Apperantely they felt that Bret needed a little help because perhaps Holly was an unbeatable opponent.  Although I was rooting for Bret, all things were not created equal in the footage and honestly, I believe, Bret would have wanted it to be equal.

I would have to say that the show made up for the unbalance in the finale by giving both charities a $250,000 donation.  After all, that is what Holly really wanted and was fighting so hard for.  They truly both came out winners, but only one could be crowned the “Celebrity Apprentice” and that is truly Bret Michaels.

Congratulations Bret and Holly.  You are both amazing personalities and show the world that you can make a difference.  I wish you both happiness, success and good health.

Bret, keep on rocking and take the time you need to heal.  The world would lose it’s shine without you in it.  Take care of yourself!

And I could never end my post without giving a giant virtual hug and kiss out to the Trump family.  Donald Trump Sr, who blesses the world with his honesty, boldness and amazing hair; Ivanka, who inspires me as a business woman in a man’s world with her finesse, sense of humor and charisma; and Baby Donald, who is fair, amazingly intelligent and who showed even the most amazing intellects are human too.  I gotta say Baby Don you scored points with me when you forgot the exec’s name in one of the episodes.

redefine who you are or at least put yourself in the direction of change and balance that will make you happy.

I’ve been in this kind of weird place the last few months.  Asking myself questions about who I am, what is my purpose, why am I just not that happy and what do I “need” to turn this around?

So this morning I tried to sneak a few minutes of quiet time into the start of my day by sitting on the porch and reading this month’s issue of O Magazine before the 3 kids woke up.  That’s when I came across an article called “The 10 Step Life Renewal Plan”, written by Dr. Phil.  I swear he was talking right to me.  Generally I’m a picture viewer and caption reader, but his first sentence led me to read on. He starts with “Ask yourself these questions to figure out what’s working, reject what’s not, and move toward your best decade yet.”

I want to share the best points that I think all of us Mom’s can relate to and perhaps it will help you too, get out of any funky place you might be in.  I think being a mom for ten years now leads myself and perhaps you to reflect on your past, when you were your most happiest and the question of “How do I get back to that?’  We give up so much of our own dreams and self to make sure we meet 100% of the needs of our children.  At some point, it seems we have been redefined as just “Mom.”

So how do you reassess who you are? These are are the questions from Dr. Phil’s Insight and how I’m trying to incorporate them into my own life:

1) Does the way you spend your time reflect what’s important to you?

Make a list of your top five priorities – marriage, children, volunteer work, and so on – and track how many hours you devote to each in a week.  If any numbers are too low, recalculate your time so you can live according to who you want to be.

“I did this only to realize that I actually do nothing for myself.  I have let go of all of the things that I like to do like golf, lay out in the sun, play softball and have replaced it with what the kids want to do or what my company needs.  This has a lot to do with being unhappy.”

2) Does your blackberry get more attention than your family and friends?

Resolve to switch off your gadgets during private moments so you can nourish personal connections with complete focus.

“I set a time everyday that I stop working.  That gives me the time to focust 100% on my kids and gives my mind the time it needs to separate so that I can go to bed without the whirlwind of constant thinking.”

3) Are you nursing a grudge or two?
Let bygones be bygones and free yourself from the emotions that weigh you down.

“I really need to take this advice, but wish Dr. Phil would have given some insight into how exactly to free yourself.”

4) Who should be in your life?
Phase out any so-called friends who offer only criticism and negative energy.  Surround yourself with people you admire, who believe in you and want you to succeed.

“I did do this a long time ago. I have an extremely hard time letting go or cutting ties.  When I realized that a few people were truly negative forces in my life, I finally decided to let them go.  I have no room in my world for negative energy.”

5) How you typecast yourself?
You may cherish your responsibilities as a mother, but “Mom” is not the whole of who you are.  Ask yourself if one role is draining all your energy, leaving other expressions of your authentic self unfulfilled.

“Bingo! This, in a nut shell, is me.  My family gets 100% and my company gets the other 100%.  I have no energy or day left to do the things that are just for me. But I have no idea how to change this.”

6)  What are your goals?
Define specific goals with measureable outcomes and assign yourself a timeline. Passion and willpower alone will not cut it – you need a strategy.

“I will definitely be working on this”

7) Who is standing in your way?
The answer may be you. Reject self-loathing and treat yourself with the kindness and respect you would show your best friend.

“If I could only get my significant other to swallow these words and treat me with the kindness and respect that I show him. I think this battle is an entirely new blog post.  How do you get your spouse to fulfill your needs even after you’ve expressed them 900 times? Is it neglect or is he just that self-centered?”

What one thing can you do for yourself everyday?
It could be as simple as finding 20 minutes to take a bath (my wife, Robin, swears by that). Every day is a new opportunity to pay attention to your own needs and make choices you feel good about. This decade, claim the right to minister to yourself.

“I created a room in my basement that would give me a place to go, listen to music and give myself the peace and quiet I crave and deserve. My life is filled with mommy…mommy…mommy and my husband…where’s my keys, my hat, my wallet, the razor, did you pay this or buy that…blah blah blah… I can’t even take a shower without being barged in on, even when I lock the door.  My quiet room quickly became a new play room for the kids, so there went that.  I discovered I need to leave the house. But where to go and why should I have to leave? It would be nice if my husband would respect my needs and give me that peace everyday, only if it’s 20 minutes?”

I hope these help you redefine who you are or at least put you in the direction of the change and balance that will make you happy.

Thanks Dr. Phil for the Insight!

Targeting “Small Businesses”

How can someone wanting to buy your products be a scam? That’s what I thought too, but still did not feel right about working with this guy who e-mailed me from Australia…or so he says he’s from Australia. I have been scammed a couple of times from China and am now extremely weary of who I deal with.  I hope this post helps any Mom-Preneur or small business out there.

As a mom-preneur with a small company, there’s all of those amazing firsts that came along. Like your first order, first retail store to sell your products and your first “Huge” retail order.  The want to succeed can sometimes cloud our normal thought process.  But since I have been around for a few years now, I have become overly aware of scams.  I have already lost about $6000 to scams going all the way from my software programming to “never received” usb drives.  This is money that I did not have either!  So now, I choose very carefully.  But I never thought that someone buying my products could scam me.  But they can!

I received an email a couple of weeks ago from a person in Australia looking to purchase my products.  Seems harmless right?  Well there were a few red flags right off the bat in his e-mail.  Here are the red flags:

1. His e-mail address was a g-mail account
2. His website was “under construction”
3. He asked for information about the products I offer and my website address.  He should have known this since he sent me the e-mail saying he wanted to buy my products
4. His e-mail address in the content was not the same as the one in the e-mail address bar
5. His grammar was off… It did not appear that English was his first language

His First E-Mail to Me

Greeting from BJ Enterprises,

I will like to place order on some items in your store. Kindly tell me if you accept VISA & MASTER CARD as a form of payment and i will also like to know if you ship down to Canberra, Australia. Furthermore, I will be glad if you can email back with the current price sheet and the list of items you have available in stock at the moment or a link to your website where i can find prices on each products.

Your total effort on my order to be completed would be dearly appreciated!

I can’t wait to do business with your company.

Best Regards,

Robert Jefferson
CEO.

Feeling not right about this e-mail, I sent him a very generic response saying yes, we accept all major credit cards and that he could find information about our products on our website.  But I did not give him our website address.  Time had passed and I forgot about this person.  Low and behold, I started to receive more e-mails from him this past week.  He wanted to place an order for 24 of our products, so I invoiced him.  The next day he wanted a new invoice and up’d his order to 80 units.  So I sent him a new invoice.  One day later, I get another e-mail with him saying he wanted to use his own “Shipping Agent” and to remove the shipping costs and supply him with my company address where the order could be picked up.  I sent another e-mail stating that we do not arrange for product pick ups and that all orders must be shipped.  The whole time I am thinking how does a start-up company already have shipping agents in the US and England?

This is all seeming very “scammy” to me, so I started to Google a few terms to see what I could come up with.  Finally, I found an article about this on Wikipedia.  Indeed it is a scam and this is how it works:

The U.S. company is contacted by a potential customer stating they would like to place an order with their company. The first initial email represents the “Direct Solicitations” outline. Once the company responds and verifies that the desired product(s) is in stock, the fraudster will then ask to quote shipping to Australia, and that they will be paying via credit card. Once the quote has been sent to the fraudster, the fraudsters will then reply back that they will have their U.S. agent or freight representative come to the location and pick up the merchandise, and then they will ship it to the fraudster. The fraudster then tells the company to simply add an additional charge of $700 – $1500 onto the total cost, which will be their “agents” compensation fee. And that when the person is to arrive to pick up the parts, that the amount charged be paid to their agent. There will also be an additional compensation fee added in too for the company, for the extra trouble of paying their agent the money. The reasons range from the agent or freight company only accepts cash or the company is unable to process credit cards. Once the fraudster is told it will not be done, the communication between them and the company will stop immediately. There are also many grammar and spelling mistakes in the communications. Here are the e-mails that I was sent:

So, please kindly get back to me with this details along with the total of my order so that i can give you my card details for the payment now.

Hope to read from you ASAP.
Regards,
Bob

I am continuing conversation with him in hopes to provide you with more details on the way this scam operates.  In the meantime, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is and always go with your gut feeling.  My gut has never been wrong and the times I didn’t listen to it, are the times I fell into a scam.  Never let your judgement be clouded by the inticement of money.  Because in this situation, if I had charged his card, which would have been a stolen card, and delivered the products, the credit card company would have eventually done a charge back.  I would have been out the money and my products!

Be Smart! Always research anything that seems not quite right!

Hugs, Sherri

Donations Needed for Silent Auction

Hi everyone -

A gorgeous little baby girl, Layla Grace, who was fighting Neuroblastoma lost her battle in March.  Her mom, Shanna took her grief and started the “Layla Grace Children’s Cancer Research Foundation”.  Shanna has planned a fundraiser for the foundation in June and needs our help with items for the silent auction.

Here is a blog post by Layla’s mom, one week after her daughter was sent to heaven

It’s been one week since Layla went to heaven. To say I miss her would be an understatement. She consumes my every thought. I think about her every minute of the day. Even when I’m happy, I’m still sad because she’s not there to join in the laughter.

We have 2 other small children, so life still goes on. I can’t lay in bed and cry all day. I have plenty of moments when I cry driving down the road, doing dishes, watching tv or playing with my other girls. There are plenty of times they cry with me. And that’s okay. I’d rather we all cry together instead of me locked in the bedroom and them thinking that there’s something wrong with showing emotion.

I’m still finding her clothes mixed in with the laundry. Her favorite toys scattered around the house. Her car seat sitting in the garage that is a daily reminder that she won’t ever sit in it again. The hardest thing for me has been walking by her room every day. I have to pass her room to get to Jenna and Claire’s. We keep the door shut but occasionally I go in there and sit on the floor and just cry. Evie comes in with me and lays next to her bed. Eventually her room will be made into a “quiet room”. I’ll move all the girls books, puzzles and Layla’s favorite toys in there. I’ll keep the theme and colors the same. It will be a comforting place to go to read, reflect, pray and talk about Layla.

Layla’s Celebration Of Life on Saturday couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a BEAUTIFUL clear day. Breezy and warm, but not hot. The flowers were displayed on the stage to resemble a garden. They were perfect and vibrant – exactly what Layla would have chosen. Pictures and a few of Layla’s favorite things were mixed in with the arrangements. The music was equally as amazing. I hope to have the audio in the next few days and will post it. I could tell you how wonderful it was, but you’d have to hear it to really understand. I will hopefully have some pictures soon as well. At the end of the celebration, we did a balloon release. 1000 pink and purple balloons were sent up to Layla as we listened to Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of“Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. I’m sure she was squealing with excitement 

We had tons of flower arrangements. I took home about 10 and the rest we piled into 4 trucks and took down to Texas Children’s Hospital. We handed them out on the cancer floor and left some for Layla’s nurses in the Cancer Center. It was so surreal driving there, voluntarily, without Layla. I’ll do it again though. I’d like to go with something different each time – art supplies, stuffed animals, books, balloons….anything that will put a smile on the faces of the kids. Even though Layla’s cancer journey is over, there are new children starting this journey everyday.

I’m amazed at the prayers and support that is still being offered to us. I assure you, we are feeling it and are so appreciative.

A foundation in Layla’s name is in the early planning stages. Once we’re up and running, I have some BIG ideas. It’s my responsibility to live out Layla’s legacy. It will be tough because I have big shoes to fill, but I have faith that Neuroblastoma will become as widely known as other childhood cancers. I also have faith that funding for research will follow. If I can prevent even one family from feeling the pain that we’ve felt, then I know I’ve succeeded and Layla would be proud.

And Here is How You Can Help!

“Since her passing, Layla’s mother Shanna has devoted much of her time to establishing the Layla Grace Children’s Cancer Research Foundation.  Shanna’s hope is to continue Layla’s work in spreading the word about childhood cancers and raise money for a cure.

Shanna has asked for our help with the silent auction part of a huge fundraiser she is planning in June.  A Taste of CyFair is the first big fundraiser for the Layla Grace Foundation.  Here is a link to the event site for more information http://atasteofcyfair.com .

If you are interested in donating something for the silent auction, please contact Toni at toni@marketmommies.com.  I will keep track of all the donations and turn all of them over the Shanna at the end of the month.  She does ask that auction items have a value of $25 or more.  If you have items that are of less value, let me know and I will try to put together a basket of smaller items for the auction.

Thanks so much for your time and generosity!
Toni – Market Mommies“

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the Simplicity recall was linked to at least one death and involved thousands of cribs, possibly hundreds of thousands, though many had previously been recalled for other defects. The agency said about 217,000 Graco dropside cribs made by LaJobi were also being recalled.

The problem with both types of cribs stems from hardware failures.

In the case of the Graco-branded wood cribs, the side that moves up and down — the dropside — can break or detach, creating a dangerous gap between the crib mattress and dropped side. A baby can become trapped and suffocate or strangle. CPSC and LaJobi have received 99 complaints of dropside problems with the cribs. None involved serious injuries.

A retrofit kit will be available to consumers to prevent the dropside from moving, making all four sides of the crib stationary.

The Simplicity recall is for all of the full-sized cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames. Those frames can bend or detach, causing the mattress to collapse and creating a space that a baby can roll into, become trapped in and suffocate.

A 1-year-old boy in North Attleboro, Mass., became trapped in his Simplicity crib and suffocated in 2008, according to the commission.

“CPSC urges all parents and caregivers to not attempt to resell any Simplicity crib to a thrift store, at a yard sale or online,” said agency spokesman Scott Wolfson. “These recalled cribs have killed far too many babies and need to be kept out of homes and daycare centers.”

Simplicity has been the subject of almost a dozen recalls since 2005 and its cribs and bassinets have been linked to 13 deaths.

The commission had previously recalled all Simplicity dropside cribs. With the latest recall, nearly all Simplicity cribs have now been recalled, possibly hundreds of thousands. Simplicity and its successor company, SFCA Inc., are no longer in business, so the agency doesn’t know exactly how many cribs were sold.
