What is a RocketMom?
RocketMoms is a gathering of the smartest women on the web, working together to make Squidoo lenses (and a whole lot more). RocketMoms are moms, grandmas, step-mothers, moms of multiples and every type of mom you can imagine. The main point is to meet each other, get creative with new lenses, and have fun.
Each RocketMom has been through the 6 week challenge where they made 6 lenses over 6 weeks. Through the challenge the RocketMoms get daily tips and lesson on how to make a great lens. They have their own private forum to help each other out. The inspiration, support and feedback they give each other is just incredible.
It doesn't matter if you have 1 lens or 1,000, if you are a Giant Squid or not, if you are a soon-to-be-mom or great-grandmother. If you are a mom and you like to work in a small group to learn all about Squidoo lenses, then maybe this is for you.

RocketMoms - Session 4
Shopping with the RocketMoms
I didn't know anything about the RocketMoms until they were about to begin the 4th session. I was invited to participate in a "Try It" week first. I loved it and couldn't wait to begin the real challenge.Session 4 of RocketMoms was a special Holiday "Shopping with the RocketMoms" Session. A total of 62 RocketMoms completed the challenge and created over 700 lenses. I am very proud to have been part of the RocktMoms success.

Combining the analytical skills of a businesswoman with the wit and comforting sensibilities of a mom with nearly twenty years on the front line, Rocket Mom is the quintessential blueprint for motherhood, where "brainy" meets "zany."
Unique Gifts
Week 1
Week 1 of the Rocket Moms challenge was Unique Gifts. I chose the Blanket with Sleeves mainly because I wanted one really bad. Not long after making the lens my husband came home with my very own pink Snuggie.
Food, Cooking, Recipes, & Kitchen Gifts
Week 2
Week 2 of the Rocket Moms challenge was about holiday food. The Top 10 Holiday Side Dish Recipes is a charity lens and made Lens of the Day on November 25, 2009.

I wrote this lens with recipes from my favorite side dishes we have for holidays. So my grandmother doesn't have to do all the cooking for my rather large family, we delegate different people to bring different dishes. When it's time to eat there are many delicious dishes to choose from.

Big Ticket Items
Week 3
Week 3 of the Rocket Moms challenge we had to do a Big Ticket Item. I wasn't really sure what I was going to write about this week. Someone I work with had been talking about wanting to get the new Kindle DX so that's what I went with.
Holiday Decorations
Week 4
Week 4 of the Rocket Moms challenge was Holiday Decorations. At my house Rudolph is a popular decoration. We have a big blow up Rudolph snow globe that sits in my front yard along with other reindeer decorations.
The Biggest, Baddest Toy & Game Lens EVER!
Week 5
Week 5 of the Rocket Moms challenge we came up with some awesome toys. My children were getting a trampoline from santa. While looking for the trampoline they would get, I saw water trampolines. How cool is that? A trampoline for the water! So I had to do a lens on water trampolines.
Escape For the Holidays
Week 6
For week 6 we named different places that would be great to go for the holidays. Although I have never been to Graceland, I would love to go there sometime around Christmas.

It was a lot of fun as we created a Niche Hobby Lens, a Food & Cooking Lens, a Music Lens, a Ask a Question Lens, a SquidQuiz, a Travel Lens, and as extra credit a Valentine's Day Lens.

Niche Hobby Lens
Week 1
The first week of RocketMoms Session 5 was about making a Niche Hobby Lens. I chose Hand Painted Martini Glasses.
Painting is one of my hobbies. Although I have not attempted to paint a martini glass yet, it is something I do want to try.

Food & Cooking Lens
Week 2
For week 2 the RocketMoms were cooking in the kitchen. We created recipe lenses, review restaurants, and shared our favorite kitchen gadget or cookbook.
I chose to write about Desserts Under 100 Calories. Even if you are on a diet you still want to snack.

Music Lens
Week 3
This week the RocketMoms teamed up with the Squidoo Music Blog on Crabby's Beach. My story was about the time I got to meet the country singer Joe Nichols.
Ask a Question Lens
Week 4
Questions and Answers. Valentine's Day was coming up and I was wondering if people liked to receive traditional gifts or something else. Do you like getting flowers and chocolates or would you rather take a trip?
SquidQuiz
Week 5
This week was really fun! The RocketMoms put together some great quizzes about everything under the sun. The quizzes I made are about Disney's Snow White and Alice in Wonderland.
Travel Lens
Week 6
For Week 6 the RocketMoms took a trip around the world. The RocketMoms tell you stories about their vacations, gives you reviews about destinations, and lets you know about the best restaurants and attractions as they guide you around.
Valentine's Day Lens
For Extra Credit
The Valentine's Day Lens was an extra credit lens. You could substitute one of the other 6 lens projects for the extra credit lens. Squidoo had just come out with the NEW Valentine's Day Theme that we could use for all the Valentine's Day Lenses.
RocketMoms Rock!
I hope you have enjoyed the lenes I made for the RocketMoms challenges.
