Blast Off With Rocket Moms

Rocket Moms Blast Off

This Sandyspider has been blasting off. Upward and outward, blasting off towards the sky and exploring the universe. Or at least Squidoo!

Before July 4, 2008, I didn't even know what Squidoo was. A year later, not only did I celebrated my anniversary, but became a Giant Squid. To say that sandyspider is addicted to Squidoo is an understatement. It has taken over my life! Ask my family!!!

A few months ago, I decided to start exploring some of the different lens templates that are offered here. So far I have tried less than half. But I do have a goal to eventually try every one of the different templates that Squidoo has to offer. This brings me to the Rocketmoms template. The first time I had seen this template was with a share from a Squidoo friend. Suddenly more followed. Where were they getting these? How could I get one?

The day that the invitation had came to join Rocket Moms; I had already inquired about it. And when that email came to join, naturally I accepted. Without sounding superficial, I wanted that template.

More than a template, Rocket Moms is a group of smart women, striving to become better writers and lensmasters. It is a going "Back to School," "Hand in your assignments," "8 intense weeks for Session 2," "Learn more about niches, online traffic, charity, and about yourself," and become a team with some fantastic women.

I would recommend Rocket Moms to anyone who would like to better themselves. To become a Rocket Mom; you have to be a mother, grandmother or step-mother. If you don't fit the criteria then how about starting your own "Rocket Dads," "Rocket Men," Rocket Women," Rocket People" or "Rocket Singles" group?

Below are assignments for Session 2 of Rocket Moms graduation. These assignments were combined with Friday assignments for the Giant Squid Summer School, which are 8 weekly challenge lenses. Do we Rocket Moms get a double graduation party?

Week 1 - About Me

I chose a lensography. I had not started one yet, but needed one before becoming a Giant Squid. One day slow in deciding to join a group for Squidness. So I worked towards this quietly.

Week 2 - Niche Lens

I decided to do two. The first one had to do with getting fit. Since I have became less active sitting at the computer. The second one had to do with "Rockets for Schools," which only seemed fit since I am a Rocket Mom. There is a duel on there. Please go there and give your answer.

Advanced Friday Lens Challenge #3 - Restaurant Review

Assignment also for the Giant Squid Summer School

After writing about one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Green Bay, OhMe wrote, "You should get a free meal for this one." Too bad I hadn't told them about my review before writing it. I did write to the Los Banditos owners after the fact, hoping to get even a "Thank you" out of it. But no!

Week 7 - Charity Lens

First I wanted to do a charity lens on pets.

But then I thought of my niece's husband and my sister, who both died of cancer. Writing a charity lens on this ended up to be the better choice. I have given two personal stories. Even though it has been many years, my sister is always in my heart.
