Realistic Tips for Busy Moms Time is perhaps the most coveted thing moms have and it’s crucial to manage it effectively for you and your family.

PHOTOGRAPHER

Sam Young 925-301-7448

To help moms everywhere make the most of their precious minutes, actress, director, producer, entrepreneur, mother of three and Nutrisystem ambassador, Melissa Joan Hart reveals her secrets that she has crafted from years of juggling different time consuming tasks.

• Just say “no”: Sometimes you just have to decline requests or pick and choose which ones are doable. And remember, it’s okay to ask for a rain check.

• Limit screen time: It’s easy to fall into the screen time black hole. Instead, be present -- put your phone down and limit your children’s time in front of their screens. Even talk to your spouse!

• Set aside 20 “Mom Minutes” daily: Do something for yourself for 20 minutes every day-- meditate, do a quick workout, call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, or simply do nothing with a cup of coffee in hand.

• Have one-on-one time with each child: Create no-fuss activities like coloring or playing cards that you can do with each child individually based on his or her personality. Spending quality time separately will feed your soul and theirs.

• Try to be guilt free: As a working mom, you are doing things for your family even when you are at work, so don’t feel guilty about the time away from loved ones.

4

• Make simple healthy changes: Remember that your kids are always watching, so being a good role model when it comes to health and fitness will pay dividends for them and for you.

Simple, easy changes in your daily routing can help you with your health goals. For example, drink more water throughout the day and maintain a consistent exercise schedule.

• Plan quality couple time: Make time to reignite your romance. Go out to a movie, take a walk together, write each other love notes.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make grand changes,” says Hart. “It’s the small details that can make every day just feel better.”

AMY’S BRIGHT ADVICE

and slogan. When your target market sees your brand your intention is for them to immediately think of the reputation your company has established.

Branding And Marketing – Why Are They So Important To You And Your Company?

Branding is so much more than just a great logo and slogan, it is the perception that a customer has when they hear or think of your company and its product or services. Branding is not only about getting your target market to select you over the competition, but about getting them to see you and your company as the only option and decision they should choose to solve their problems and/or needs.

Your brand is the promise you make to your customers and the reputation that your company forms by fulfilling those promises. Your brand will create loyal customers who believe in you and your business! Your brand must always stay consistent when it comes to your logo

A strong marketing strategy is a wellplanned out road map that has your company’s structure, needs and target audience as its top priority. What is the purpose of your business and what makes this product or service beneficial to our community? Who is your ideal customer and why? What would be your customers’ expectations and wants for your company? What will make your company stand out from your competition?

What are your goals for your company, as well as, your employees and how can you deliver those to them? What tools and skill set do your employees need to provide the best product and service to your clients? A complete marketing strategy will make sure that your potential customers know that what you offer, service or product, is the best within our community. Marketing will build your established brand and let our community and your target market know what makes you different from the rest!

The Monthly Grapevine, would love to be able to help you start branding and marketing your company to our

Who’s Who... in East County

In business for 21 years, owners of Kitchen Make-Overs, Jeff and JoAnn Baker were inspired to open their business when they saw a real need for homeowners in our community. They love people and working with cabinets (and they’re good at it), so they put the two together to find a win-win for both! Jeff has been in the construction business for over 30 years and, while this has given him many experiences, his passion is for cabinetwork. He carries general construction, painting and decorating, and also millwork and finish carpentry licenses.

Kitchen Make-Overs’ objective is to help educate customers about money saving options that add functionality and preservation to their homes. As such, they specialize in several types of services, from cabinet finish repair and restoration, cabinet refacing and custom cabinet doors to drawer front and drawer box replacement and roll-out shelf installation.

Because they don’t have a one size fits all mentality, they have experience in all levels of cabinet construction, finishing and modifications. They are unique in that they offer different types of remedies and can make a customer’s cabinets look like new, without having to undergo a full kitchen remodel. They are able to preserve what a customer currently has for years to come, with a restoration project that doesn’t break the bank.

Although, if a homeowner is in need of a remodel, they can handle that too!

KITCHEN MAKE-OVERS Inc.

Since they are family operated, Kitchen Make-Overs has a vested interest in the quality of service they provide. They care about people and are a reliable and dependable company that appreciates quality and value. They want customers who are looking for those attributes in a company too. Give them a call--you can save thousands when you know all your options!

BUSINESS

LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL PRIMUS

1099’s This time of year I routinely get inquiries about forgiven debts and the dreaded form 1099. As a general proposition, the tax laws create an obligation to pay tax whenever the taxpayer’s finances improve. For example, a paycheck improves my financial position and creates an obligation to pay tax on that income. With a paycheck, the taxes are taken out directly and remitted by my employer. With that in mind, if I owed $30,000 but was able to resolve the debt by paying $5,000 I would have improved my financial position and might assume I would owe tax on the $25,000. Whether I owe the tax depends on my circumstances. A couple examples of forgiven debt provide context before I delve into the rule and its exceptions.

Debts can be forgiven in several ways, the most common being settlements and bankruptcy. In a settlement the lender agrees to accept a sum of money to resolve a debt. Generally

was forgiven. This does not require a bankruptcy. It means your debts exceeded the value of your assets at the time the debt was forgiven. The IRS rarely challenges a claim of insolvency.

the amount will be in the range of thirty to sixty cents on the dollar of the balance owed. That means a $5,000 debt might be settled for $1,500 to $3,000. Upon payment the borrower will have no further obligation to the lender. Settlements are common when the original debt was for a credit card or personal loan. Bankruptcy can allow a person to pay little or nothing and have no further obligation to the lender. The bankruptcy system refers to forgiven debts as having been discharged.

Regardless of the terminology, the point is the money is no longer owed.

That may seem like the end of the story but later the borrower may get a 1099. Form 1099 reflects cancellation of debt by the lender, it does not create a taxable event. In fact, very few people should pay the tax. Unfortunately many people prepare their own tax returns and mistakenly pay the tax. The IRS cheerfully accepts the money! The rule making cancelled debt taxable has two major exclusions discussed below.

Either of these exclusions will render the forgiven money non-taxable. All you need to do is attach IRS form 982 to your tax return to clarify why the income reflected in the 1099 is nontaxable. The exceptions are also discussed in IRS form 982 and IRS publication 4681.

At the Law Office of Michael Primus we have helped thousands of clients get out of debt, stop wage garnishments, and start fresh through bankruptcy. We have offices in Walnut Creek, Antioch, and Hercules.

1. The debt was forgiven in bankruptcy.

This requires filing bankruptcy and obtaining a discharge from the bankruptcy court.
