How to Use BlogNet Awards and Make Money

March 30, 2009 By 3 Comments

DraggonBlogger has created a helpful video on how to submit a blog to BlogNet Awards.

BlogNet Awards is a great site to submit or vote for other blogs for the prestigious Best Blog Award per category. I really like the fact that I get to find tons of new blogs that I may have not come across. You can enter your blog or you can enter to win Cash prizes. Even if you do not want to participate you can certainly get a good idea on what other bloggers are doing and where they are headed with them.

You can find other bloggers in your niche and perhaps find new ideas for posting, design or even other affiliates you can contact to make money from your blog. You can see what others are saying about the blogs in your category and hopefully that will help in the growth of your own blog.

If any of you enter your blog, let me know, I will of course support all my readers.

Free Blog Templates – Blogger

March 18, 2009 By 26 Comments

Many of you use blogger for your Blog and want to know where to find those cute templates found at many Mommy Blogger sites. Well, there are several sites out there, but one of my favorite is The Cutest Blog on the Block. The name says it all. The templates are fun and easy to install.

They offer you a large variety and plenty of “Accessories” to add more pizzazz to your template. Along with templates and buttons, you will also find several tutorials.


The Cutest Blog on the Block can only be used with Blogger at this time. They do have plans to offer you at a later time themes for TypePad and WordPress.

The backgrounds are fun and if you want to use them elsewhere, you might even try using them as your Twitter background. Where did you find your template? Do you know of any other fun Free sites?

Mexican Sweet Bread Recipe “Conchas”

March 5, 2009 By 33 Comments

My kids and I have had the flu. They are better now and now I am dealing with a head cold. We craved Mexican food and wanted to make something traditional. Sure, I know how to cook, but my cooking does not compare to my Mom’s traditional Mexican recipes.

My Mom is not around anymore so I have to hit the books for a recipe. But they never taste the same. Since moving to Las Vegas (we live in the City of Henderson) we do not have access to traditional Latin Food Markets. The closes we come to it in this part of town is the International Food Section.

Anyhow, I turned to YouTube to search for a recipe for Pambazos. I had no idea it was an actual dish. LOL  Someone made them for me many years ago, he called them Pambazos, but I figured it had to be an Original. I guess Not.

In my search I came across Tina a Mom, a Cook and Married to a Mexican. She has a blog and a YouTube Channel where she shares original family Mexican recipes. She captures your attention with her fun and energetic style. Not to mention on how funny at times her attempt to pronounce some words is.

Tina and her husband work together to launch the videos on YouTube and enter them in their blog. There are so many of you doing wonders with your blog; it would be GREAT if you visit her site and offered some advice.  I welcome your comments here too.

I think that she can really learn to have twice more fun with her blog.

Today, I selected a favorite of mine. Pan Dulce “Conchas”. I had no idea how to make them. I knew the Japenese bakery on my block made the best. Oh this is funny…..

As a kid I thought it was a Japanese bread, since the owner was Japanese, not ’till my teen years did I get to know that his family was born and raised in Mexico and he migrated to the U.S. with his wife to open a Mexican Bakery. LOL =)

Note: Many Japense stayed in Jalisco, Mexico after WWI.

Here is the video Tina – “Conchas”
