** Admin speaks out on soliciting on N4M’s.**

Ladies, Gents…

In the past few weeks there has been a few events where people have talked about stories in which help is needed via donations of some sort. And knowing how big the N4M’s hearts are, many responded right away. After a debate with my team, we had decided this: we can't use this site for soliciting money or items. I am not saying these heartbreaking stories are fake- but how do I know if everyone that asks for money or items is telling the truth? I don’t. I can’t… Continue

Alright Ladies… it’s time to spread the word.

After multiple requests… we have selected three great online printing vendors to carry our N4M Swag.

Now, in the next few days I should be adding another color or two of the logo.

I’ve kept it to apparel just to start off. : ) So let’s just see where this goes.

*Note we aren’t making profit of these shirts. Zero. As you can see, the prices only a little from site to… Continue

** Happy Mom's Day- to all the N4M's! :)**

Dearest Mom:

Happy Mom’s Day! <-- It’s YOUR day today : )



I know we are using that tag line in our videos: “You give them the values, we give them the opportunity”. And I was thinking …that one of the best parts of this site! I love reading these values. Some of values that you practice and talk about… my own mother passes down to me! It’s amazing how some mom-isms are really universal from Main to California and North Dakota to Texas. It doesn’t matter status,… Continue
