Adventures of a Work From Home Momma

eMoms at Home was working on some Success Creeations, when out of the blue the TyperTappers appeared. You might think this is strange, but in these Evolving Times such things are common. Our brave and quirky hero knew exactly what to do — she had to walk the Business BlogWire, but our brave and quirky hero had no MomGadget.

Seeking help for this dilemma, our hero headed down the road to Success from the Nest.

The road passed three creatures — each of them was more interesting than the next. The first was an Airey logo designer. The second was a Stay at Home Dad, Geek Style. The third was a sweet designer called Randa. Our brave and quirky hero ran the rest of the way, and when _she_ got there, she got another surprise!

“A Revolution!” our hero exclaimed.

“Crunchy Mustard,” Brian Gardner answered.

“I was working on some Success Creeations, when out of the blue the TyperTappers appeared. ” our brave and quirky hero said, knees shaking. “Could you spare some Design Adaptations?”

And so it passed that Brian Gardner gave our brave and quirky hero Design Adaptations AND SpeedEndurance and all was well.

You might think this is strange, but in these Evolving Times such things happen all of the time.
