Moms - Improve your Vocabulary in just 30 days!

For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated by words. As a child I recall "reading" my dictionary, a present from Santa Claus - Chambers Childrens' Illustrated Dictionary! I read it because I loved learning new words. Of course, at the age of seven I had no idea that what I was actually doing was improving my vocabulary!

I'm intrigued by the way words work together and have always been interested in how the words you use reveal so much about your personality and background. Words affect so much of your life - from how you express yourself, to the friends you attract, the impressions you make upon others, to the jobs you secure.

Having enjoyed words so much throughout my life, I went on to study English at university and happily worked as an English teacher for several years. However, after my second daughter was born I decided it was time for a change and so took the momentous decision to stay at home with my children whilst they were small.

Fortunately for me, because I'd always been good at writing, I was able to put my teaching skills to new use and became a full-time writer, composing articles for the pregnancy and breastfeeding website I created.

I'm not the first mother to make such a decision. It's well known that many new mothers decide it's time for a fresh start after they've had children and, as a result, become very focused on getting promoted at work or looking for a new career altogether.

Recently I came across this quote on Assignments Plus: "The more words you learn, the more money you earn".

Although I'd often suspected that people with a broad vocabulary who spoke fluently and with confidence attracted better jobs, I had never realised that more words actually equaled more money. But it makes sense and has been proven true - the proof being in the pay-packet!

So how do you go about improving your vocabulary when you've lived your entire life with just the words you somehow picked up along the way?

Well you can do it the hard way, all by yourself and without any help or direction; or you can try it the easy way!

Your new vocabulary will change your life and may well lead to that highly paid job you've been coveting but thought was out of your reach.

Now ask yourself this: "Can I afford not to improve my vocabulary?"

Great link! I will be looking into this.

One thing that took on an even greater importance in my life AFTER having children is reading a variety of books. I always have a "fun" (fiction) book AND a more serious (non-fiction) book going. I MAKE time for reading and it is a priority that I try to read at least a little bit every day to keep myself from going intellectually stagnant.
