The Business of being Mom

I had a difficult time deciding what to write about today, thus my late entry.  I prefer to talk about what new products I am adding or what fun things I have been working on but something hit me today as I was posting my latest addition to my Valentine's Day Products, the business of being a mom who owns a business. 

Starting and running a business is in many ways a huge task.  Any of you who have ever owned a businesses or currently do, can attest to the time, energy, and effort put forth in an attempt to make you business work and be successful.  For me it's very much a blessing and passion!  The difficulty many times comes in attempting to balance work, business, and family.  While my children are my biggest supporters and greatest inspiration, they also need mom!

So I'm sure many of you are now wondering what this has to do with my business and the products I create?  That's where the mom part comes in.  Being a mom and a business woman mean finding creative, resourceful ways to be a good mom.  And, allowing the mom in you to be your creative energy.

As many of you may already know, my business started as a desire to find a better product for my kids and their sensitive skin, in addition to finding a way to take the headaches out of bath time.  The culmination of the two resulted in my initial products; my bug, butterfly, snake, lizard and frog soaps.  While adding fun, they keep the basic principles of natural ingredients that nourish and care for sensitive skin, as the primary focus.

As moms, going the extra miles for our families is an everyday occurrence, which many times goes unrecognized.  So, any ways we can devise to make our tasks easier while showing our love for our family is a bonus.  That's the design and desire behind every one of my products.  I hope you find them to have the same benefits for you and your family and would love to hear your stories about what being a business owner and a mom (or a dad) means and how you balance the two.
