New Ideas. Go Green!

Again I am on this kick for products that could be unsafe for children. Friday before the open house, I was making Sophia's bed. Her crib set is so beautiful. I couldn't wait to see the bumper set on the gorgeous crib. I unpacked fitted sheets that I received at my shower. The packaging was made in Thailand and the sheets made in China. When I pulled the sheets out, I smelled a faint reminder of the Pottery Barn baskets. It was overwhelming toxic, but it was enough to make me wash and dry them twice.

With all these instances of smells and non-made in the USA products, I have made a business decision. Our wonderful store Little Baby Headquarters already sells great made in the USA products and all the clothing is organic cotton. As new merchandise are listed, I will make it my goal to find the best home grown products for moms, dads, and children.

With this economy, we should be keeping our money "at home" any how. But with the added benefit of the products being made safely for our children, I will dedicate my search to find top-quality, American made items.

Here are a sample of the products on our store Little Baby Headquarters that are
MADE IN USA. Happy shopping.

Feeling Well and Planning Ahead

Today I took it easy, and it felt great. The more I relax, the more Sophia moves, and that is the best reward.

Business is starting to develop for Jeff and I. Jeff is finally confident enough to start hiring people for his advertising business. I am quite proud of him because I see he is secure in his ability to bring business and creativity together for himself. Hopefully this will help buy our next home.

As for myself, my educational consulting business is my main stream of income. It entails going out to school districts to train their teachers and staff in various teaching techniques. That is time I won't have next year. In response to questions about next year, I have decided to work one day a month. I will book districts on a first come first serve basis. At first, I felt guilty that I wasn't taking on more work, but Jeff made it clear that he didn't want me to work. That really comforted me because I want so much to be a stay at home mom. That brings me to my next stream of income.

In February, I created Little Baby Headquarters. It was so important to me that I contribute financially to our family without compromising my time with baby. The online store seemed like the best choice. It allows me to provide top-quality items to other pregnant moms, baby products to new families, and downloadable seminars for teachers, tutors and parents.

With the three hard years of trying behind us, I want to enjoy this miracle we waited so long to meet. Hopefully, Little Baby Headquarters will become my main stream of income, so time out at work won't be an issue once Sophia arrives.

I pride myself in being an educational expert, and feel the same about the store. I look high and low for organic/eco-friendly products, so parents can be proud of items they use on or with their children. I also look for products made in the USA. With the economy the way it is, we should focus on keeping our money at home in America.

I would love to hear from other work at home moms, and urge all readers to checkout the great products at Little Baby Headquarters.

Be Well
