Get Educated In Five (5) Minutes Or Less

Do you remember speed reading? Well, I once took a class to learn how to read some ridiculous amount of words in an also ridiculous amount of time. Not only was I supposed to be able to read the words, but also comprehend them. I actually did pretty well, but I guess it is like typing, which I never took in school. By the time I came around, keyboarding was available and that is the direction I took, but I was always amazed at people who could type a cazillion words per minute. I still peck away on the keyboard and do pretty well. I just couldn't get a job requiring a fast typing speed. Well, like the speed reading and the typing, if you don't use it, you lose it.

As a Mom, there are a lot of things we have/need to do and not much time to do them. We probably would do pretty well with the speed cooking, speed washing, speed diaper changing, etc. because we do them ALL THE TIME! We practice everyday! As we accomplish these great feats, our lists seem to grow rather than reduce. The blog/Web site, 5 Minutes for Mom, realizes that five (5) minutes is about all of the time that mommies have to spare in our busy schedules, so they have made it easy. The good thing is that we have more than five (5) minutes to consume the wonderful resources and information provided at their newly redesigned site as well as sister sites that they launched today to make moms (and dads) lives easier. If you would like some great, sometimes quick (you may find yourself spending more than five minutes because you can't pull yourself away), useful information, then visit one or all of these wonderful sites:

5 Minutes for Mom - Bringing Moms Together
5 Minutes for Special Needs - Support, Insight, Inspiration
5 Minutes for Books - We're Reading Into Everything
5 Minutes for Parenting - We're In This Together
and drum roll please...

***5 Minutes for Going Green - Green Looks Good On Everyone***

The last site/blog is highlighted because I am one of the weekly contributing writers along with several other amazing and talented blogging mommies. It is an honor and a treat to be a part of the "Green Team" and to share a little "green talk". Another great thing about these sites is that you don't have to speed read and take it all in within five (5) minutes.
