My RocketMoms Experience

As of this writing, RocketMoms have produced over 1,000 lenses in just the first and second sessions of RocketMoms. That being said, there is an enormous amount of work that goes into the RocketMoms group. The bulk of that work falls to our leader and friend, Bonnie (bdkz). Bonnie is a Giant Squid Organizer and the RocketMoms Organizer here on Squidoo. To be completely honest, I don't have a clue how she does it all! She is Wonder Woman in my eyes!

I owe quite a bit to Bonnie. Without her I may have never known How to make a profit on Zazzle or that you can find barbed wire and other Unique Toilet Seats!!

On Friday April 17th at exactly 12:51 pm EST I became a member of the first ever group of RocketMoms! After 6 weeks, under Bonnie's tutelage and some help from Giants and Angels alike, June 3rd, 2009, I was a RocketMom Graduate!

Let me tell you how much this changed my experience at Squidoo. When I first joined RocketMoms, I had 8 lenses that were a little sad. By the time graduation rolled around for the first session, I had 28 ROCKING lenses!

We were invited to stick around for the second session and on graduation day, I had 52 lenses created. I am on my way to Giant Squid status! I have applied and will keep my fingers crossed! In the meantime, I will continue to create well crafted lenses. I do so want one of those purple badges!

My next "Pride and Joy" achievement was to be asked to be a "Big Sister" in the third session of RocketMoms. There is not much that will give me greater pleasure over the next 8 weeks. I am excited and I hope these new RocketMoms are ready for a great trip!

There are many groups that have sprung up inside RocketMoms. Please be assured, these are only a few of those many! There are approximately 25 more that you can see for yourself if you are a mom! Join RocketMoms, we would love to see you there!

I am not sure how or why this woman was let into RocketMoms. Did you know she got scared reading this lens and her family had to rush into the room?

In truth, Correen aka clouda9 is a doll with a wicked sense of humor! She is a wonderful friend and will be a Giant 100 very soon! Coreen began a RocketMoms group for Photo of the Week!

Is there anyone on Squidoo who hasn't met our friendly little Sandyspider? Sandy has started a group for RocketMoms Who are Rockin' Zazzle! Sandy was one of the first people I "met" on Squidoo and I am thankful for her friendship. She is another Giant! Watch her go!

Another well loved group is RocketMoms Furry Children appropriately headed up by The Party Animal! The Party Animal burst on the scene in the second session of RocketMoms and has rocked the house ever since! She has at this time 181 lenses and is sporting that nifty new Giant 100 badge!!

One is the Stay at Home RocketMoms group. This group is run by our very own NanLt! Nan feverishly worked her way to Giant Squid during the first session of RocketMoms! With 107 lenses currently under her belt, she will be showing off that Giant 100 badge soon! Way to go!

RocketMoms, in my opinion, is one of the premiere groups on Squidoo. It takes the largest demographic on Squidoo and gives them a place to gather and learn from each other. It also allows them to speak in a group that will understand their concerns.

This is a unique opportunity for any mom. Being in a group of women who have been or are soon to be where you are allows you to see a fuller picture of many things. If the opportunity is used to it's fullest it presents a chance to make lifelong friends.

The group is made up of moms of all ages and walks of life. There are newbies, Angels, Giants and everyone in-between that walk these halls. Everyone has a goal and RocketMoms is a great vehicle to make sure these goals are reached.

I will forever be grateful for the email that changed my life.
