1) get rid of the grid and white waves on the photo. The photo is beautiful by itself and doesn't need these effects to make it look any better.
2) Space the three columns out a little more. Everything looks so cramped.
3) Use a standard font for the entire site. Right now I see a combination of Arial and Times New Roman, and to be honest Times does not match the style of the sunflowers.

Condense the ads into a rotation system so that only one is displayed at a time.
Change the times new roman font.
Simplify the navigational structure by creating a simplified menu.
Arrange the 'special links' in a way that makes it possible to distinguish between
the different items.
I hope these comments help.

I think that the advertisements should open in new windows (if thats possible). I clicked on one of them and the fact that I was redirected on the same page really bugged me.
As well, I really don't understand what the sunflowers are all about, is there a reason they are there or is it just a random design eleement? If its the latter then I would recommend trying to find an image that is closer related to the theme of the website.
Lastly, I think you need to make some changes to your categorization system. Some things need to be bolded if they are titles or just important, other things need spaces in between. Just go through the site and make sure that no text blends into other text and that everything that is important is in some way highlighted.
Thats all, g'luck!

It does seem a little cramped text-wise and I have to admit that the flashing banners are distracting.
Since the purpose of the site is to generate clicks through to the affiliate programs, I'd recommend much clearer categorization and navigation and lose the sunflower theme or pare it back considerably. If you want to give it a personal touch, perhaps a side bar with your wife's thoughts and comments about the different programs ...a testimonial area of sorts. Maybe bullet those comments with a small sunflower?
That's my .02.
