I'm a Rocket Mom!

A Rocket Mom? What is that? As of spring of 2009 I didn't have the slightest idea! While surfing the web, I was consistently finding helpful, informative, creative webpages that I enjoyed reading on Squidoo. I couldn't help but notice the Rocket Mom logo at the top of the best pages. I wondered, who were these talented ladies? I wanted to know more about the writers. Read below to find out about these ladies and to travel my journey with them!

Purposes for writing this page are to:
1 ~introduce fabulous Rocket Mom women,
2~ share pages I wrote in RM sessions 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, & 12.
3~encourage anyone who may have an interest in creating a webpage!

January 2012 - Well, after enjoying almost 2 1/2 years with the RocketMoms on Squidoo, it seems that the group has retired, but I will always treasure the friendships that I have made during this time with them! =D

Rocket Moms

A Gathering of the
Smartest Women on the Web

In June of 2009, I finally bit the bullet and gave a try at my first webpage here at Squidoo. It was easier than I thought it would be to make (and so much fun), but I was very nervous to push the "publish" button that first time. What would people think of it? Would anyone even visit the page? In the first day after publishing, I received a private email from one of these ladies (one who I think very highly of) who was very complimentary and encouraging! Ok, I thought, maybe I can do this after all. Those few kind words from a stranger who went out of her way to say something nice helped me to try another page. ~ That's the kind of women that are in Rocket Moms!

Have you read Rocket Moms' pages before?

(I guarantee that you will be pleased!)

Who & What are Rocket Moms?

The Mighty RocketMoms on Squidoo

Photobucket


Rocket Moms ~ Enjoy this creative powerpoint display created by Bonnie about who the Rocket Moms are and what they do!

"Company Overview ~ RocketMoms was conceived by the official SquidooTeam and is run by lensmaster and mom extraordinaire, Bonnie Diczhazy. RocketMoms are dedicated to creating top-notch, focused, remarkable, creative content online. And along the way they learn, share, and teach other moms about Squidoo, Twitter, blogging and a whole lot more.

Mission ~ Each session, the RocketMoms are challenged to create web pages (called lenses) on various topics. The RocketMoms then critique these lenses, lend support and help each other improve and promote their work. It's a challenge, a community, a classroom and a hobby. It's also an awful lot of fun!"

Squids on Facebook!


I have to admit that I wasn't overly fond or familiar with Facebook until I visited a few Rocket Moms pages on Facebook. They were phenomenal!! There are pages for every age and topic or niche! Once again I was motivated to try one for myself with the Rocket Moms encouragement, and suggestions from my "Sisters". This is what I came up with to share my interests. I hope you enjoy them.

Zazzling Rocket Moms at Zazzle!

The more I get to know the Rocket Mom ladies, the more I am impressed with them! Not only do they run their families, build awesome lenses, and spread throughout the WWW, they are very artistic and creative! Many of them enjoy creating items at Zazzle.com with their photographs, graphic designs, poetry, humor, and more! Their inspiration told me to give it a try! What fun I am having working at this new art! Please check out Beth's RM Zazzle page to view more of the ladies artwork. :D

I did not complete all of the requirements to graduate this session, but I was busy on Squidoo editing many of my lenses. The new "monsters", "trophies", and "points" became an added fun bonus! As many new people were joining Squidoo around this time, I was excited to meet many fascinating lensmasters as I read their lenses.

It was a thrill to receive several new purple stars during this session, also!

Teamwork at its Best!

I've learned an awful lot about writing webpages, html, graphics, organization, goals, promotion, social networks, running a business, making money, and a ton of other things from this group of super women! I was very insecure starting this adventure. More than once I felt like I just couldn't keep up or do what the others were doing, but their suggestions and kind words pushed me along to complete several sessions. I hope to continue with more sessions so I may learn more with them.

It's amazing to me that I could make so many new friends from literally all around the world who come together to help each other grow!
