Why Tumblers Are Essential

Whether commuting, hiking, or simply lounging at home, maintaining your drinks at the perfect temperature makes a difference. Customizable Tumblers are excellent for keeping hot and cold beverages at the ideal temperature for extended periods. Research has shown that tumbler insulation can keep drinks warm for up to 12 hours and cold for even longer, making them highly practical and versatile for everyday use.

Besides their temperature-retention abilities, customizable tumblers are also highly durable and portable. This makes them a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and those always on the go. Their utility is complemented by the fact that they come in various designs and materials, allowing you to choose a style that best fits your needs and preferences.

All About Making Money on Fiverr as a Proofreader, Writer and More!


I stumbled on Fiverr.com in April of 2013 when I was looking for a way to make money from home online to pay off some mounting dental bills and other things and my husband had FINALLY given in and suggested we get Internet at home.

I was not disappointed. I immediately had a full queue of jobs and found that I could customize my gigs, which means that if I had extra time to work, I could put my gig on a 1-day delivery time to get more orders. If I was full up with parenting and homeschooling, I could change it to a 29-day delivery time to discourage new customers who were in a hurry. 

Check out my information below to see if it might be for you and then give it a shot. It's a versatile way to make money online. It's free to sign up, and I'd love it if you'd use my referral code.

Why Hiring a Moving Company is Beneficial

Moving to a new house or place of business can be stressful. Hiring a reputable moving company is one of the best strategies to reduce stress. A Denver Moving Company can elevate the moving experience by handling the heavy lifting and logistics for you. Research highlights the increased efficiency and reduced physical strain that professional movers provide.

Understanding Different Dog Spa Treatments: What's Right for Your Pet?

Discovering the ideal spa therapy for your canine companion can provide a fulfilling experience for both of you. With various services such as grooming, massage and even aromatherapy, the right spa can help your dog relax and enjoy some pampering while addressing their grooming needs. The key is to choose a spa that understands your dog's temperament and specific needs, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience. If you're in Minnesota, exploring options for a dog spa MN could provide your pet with a soothing retreat.

Hydrotherapy

One standard service offered at dog spas is hydrotherapy, which involves water for pain relief and treatment. Typically used for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or recovering from surgery, hydrotherapy can significantly improve your dog's mobility and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment can be a lifesaver for pets struggling with movement issues. During a hydrotherapy session, dogs can exercise in a low-impact environment, which is gentle on their joints while building muscle strength. The buoyancy of water reduces strain on the body, making it ideal for rehabilitating elderly dogs.

How Can Kerrie Help You as a Magazine Writer or Editor?

Below you'll find some references from freelance writers who have used my book to get published in parenting and family magazines, as well as some kind words from editors and others I've worked with.

Writers: I've been writing parenting and family magazine articles for almost 20 years, and I still love it! Some of my articles from 15+ years ago are still relevant and are still being published as reprints, although these days I'm fetching more like $50 for a reprint article instead of $25 like in the early days of my career. I've got an instant download that takes you inside my brain so you can do what I am doing, and it includes hundreds of markets so you can get started today! (you can also wait for the updated version in print on Amazon, and I'll share the link here once that's live!)

Editors: I have a Facebook group called Parenting Magazine Writers, and it's over 900 strong. It's a place for writers and editors alike to share market info and tips, as well as have conversations. If you're looking for articles on a particular topic, this is the place to post that ask.

Here are some character traits of mine you can learn about from the following references and recommendations, and I urge you to click on the links to find out more about the talented people who took the time to share these words:

"Kerrie's book has been a springboard for my writing career! I wish I had known this information when I started. I would be so much further along! I'm so grateful that Kerrie is willing to share the secret to her success!  When I was in training to become a stockbroker, I had to take a crash course right before the Series 7 licensing exam. Kerrie's book is the crash course for getting published in regional parenting magazines! I wish I had found it years ago!" — Kelly Stilwell, writer

Your Magazine Article Reprint List

Once you’ve been writing for a while, you'll have a nice body of work to resell (I have over 100 articles in circulation). You’re going to want to send out that list of your body of work to editors from time to time, and you'll also want to keep this list for any new publications you find who might want to see your work.

https://www.thepublishedparent.com/2018/07/a-sample-of-magazine-article-reprint.htmlBelow is an example of what I normally send to publications regularly, sometimes monthly and sometimes more like quarterly. This is discussed in more detail in my book, including when to send it, how often, what to charge, etc.

Please contact me if you would be interested in reviewing one of these articles for possible purchase so you don’t overlap coverage in your area without realizing it. If you love it, I can send out an invoice!

Write for Parenting and Family Magazines

Do you want to write parenting and family articles and get paid to do so? I know there are a lot of parents out there doing the job every day, thinking, "I should write about this. I wonder if others struggle with this. I could help someone with my story or with a researched article about this topic. I could learn some cool things in the process of helping others and making money!"
I had those same thoughts back in 2005-ish when I had my third baby and was in the trenches of the parenting battlefield. I cracked open my local parenting magazine after snagging it at the local children's consignment shop, sent something to them about stocking up on meals instead of going grocery shopping daily, and I made a fast 25 bucks.

Then I wondered if I could maybe send the same piece to other magazines in other cities. Did they only want local content, or would they take my evergreen (can be used anytime of the year, ages well) piece?
