H.O.W. feature – All Natural Mommies 0

Posted on August 16, 2007 by dc
picture-076.jpg "A happy family, a happy baby, and a happy experience, is what we strive to create. Helping you to be the best parent; with the most informative, supporting information around, as well as the number one all natural products and customer service!" This is the motto of All Natural Mommies, founded by Jennifer Sprague, a work-home-mom. Today's H.O.W. feature highlights this lovely online store serving mommies with great products including baby carriers, cloth diapers, blankets and playmats and more. Here's another story of a mommy entrepreneur... How did this home office begin for you? All Natural Mommies actually started out as High Top Baby Designs - the April after my son Zachary was born (he was born in November '03), and well, because he was born! When I started, it was for two reason's - one to be with my kids (Zachary 7 months old and Aubrey 4 - at the time). They both needed me, Zachary being the HIGH need baby he was, nursing and demanding me almost 24/7 and Aubrey, getting ready to start kindergarten and adjusting to be a school age kid with divorced parents. The second reason was because, I REALLY love natural parenting, everything about it - and I wanted to share what I had learned as a mom, to be true, with as many people as I could - while offering awesome products to help promote the bond between mom's/dad's and there babies/toddlers. We changed the name from High Top Baby Designs to All Natural Mommies in, July of 2006 - for one reason, people finding High Top Baby Designs thought we made baby shoes, or sold high top shoes - neither of which we do! So I worked hard to find a new name that really lent itself to what we DO! carrier.jpg What are the perks and challenges of working from home? The perks are easy, I am HERE any time day or night that my children need me...to help with homework, when they bruise a knee, or need to be driven to ballet practice - I am the one to do it! Given that children grow up SOOO fast, that's time I could NEVER EVER get back and time that I treasure more than anything! The challenges can be many, from finding enough time to sew (since I make 99% of what I sell and custom make 50% of that), to finding time to work at the online portion of All Natural Mommies - then the normal house hold things, laundry and what not...It can be daunting, even hard - extremely so in the beginning - but I have learned it's all about learning AND remembering WHY you decided to do what you do - for me I LOVE doing what I do, and that's what gets me over the hurdles! Tell us more about All Natural Mommies! First let me start by sharing with you the All Natural Mommies Motto: "A happy family, a happy baby, and a happy experience, is what we strive to create. Helping you to be the best parent; with the most informative, supporting information around, as well as the number one all natural products and customer service!" We specialize in custom baby carriers - and have developed 2 products that you can ONLY get at All Natural Mommies - the Podonbutai (a 3 in one baby carrier) and the Nursing Mei Tai. We do have "instock" options, but love to work with the client, forming a unique bond with them, which helps them trust us, as well as helps our clients find the product that's exactly what they need! Though baby carriers are our specialty we make and sell lots of other products which can also be customized to your tastes, from unique baby blankets to shopping cart covers, to nursing blankets - we try to help promote the more natural side of life with our whole line of products! mei-tai-wearing.jpg What is your advice for anyone who likes to work from home. First they need to have patience, even now 4 years after I opened my store, I am JUST starting to really see the fruits of my labor. Second, they need to LOVE LOVE LOVE what they do, not like it or even "tolerate" it but LOVE it - why? Because there are LOTS of up's and down's - if you don't really love it, you will quit way before you should! Third, a plan - I did not have a plan when I started, just sorta jumped in, I had no idea what SEO was or HTML even - so a good plan and some research will go a long way. Forth, relax and enjoy the ride, don't get hung up on the little things you have no control over...and always remember WHY you started your business! carrier2.jpg What do you get most out of this business? The satisfaction of a happy customer. A couple of weeks ago, I had a mom of a newborn call me, she was actually in tears because her little boy did not want to be put down - EVER. She said in the 3 weeks since she had him someone was always holding him - mainly her! She said she was tired, and her house was a mess! She needed help! We talked over all her options, from pouches to mei tai's and she decided on a custom mei tai with several of the options we do. A couple days later the carrier was on its way to her. Just yesterday I received an email from her, thanking me! She was thrilled with the carrier, and thrilled that I got it to her so quickly. She said she actually SLEPT with him in the carrier, was able to do some picking up in her house, and was able to eat! - That's what I live for - that's what makes owning my own business worth it!

H.O.W. feature – Cool Mom Picks 2

Posted on July 31, 2007 by dc
howfeature.jpg aboutmoms.jpg
H.O.W. feature is back after a couple of weeks of break. I was busy with my seminar and clearing up some office admin stuff since. Today, I would like to introduce one of my favourite sites to you. I caught up with co-founders, Kristen Chase and Liz Gumbinner, and was so glad to have them share their story of Cool Mom Picks with me. Trust me, this is a real cool place to find cool stuff for kids, parents, mommies...etc. It's a great place to find that perfect gift, find that stylish shoe for your babies, safe toys for children, baby carriers for busy moms... and lots more fabulous stuff... for now, read the story here: How did this home office begin for you? I was originally just looking for a way to vent about motherhood. I was working part-time as a college professor and while staying home was something I wanted to do, I was pretty sure I'd need to have some type of income -- not just to contribute financially to the household, but because I'd need some sort of personal sustenance. My personal blog led me to so many mothers making and selling cool products that I just came up with the idea of creating a place where folks can come learn about cool new products and/or services for moms as well as be entertained by the cheeky editorial. I needed help so I asked my current business partner Liz Gumbinner to join me. What are the perks and challenges? Working from home makes life easier and more complicated. For me, I have a hard time "turning off;" I can always sit and check email for hours, and so I've started to create a "work schedule" -- and it helps that I have a sitter now so I do work when she comes as well as schedule any conference calls. I love being close to my kids and I love the flexibility. You just can't beat that. But on many days, I feel as though I've worked for way longer than eight hours with little to show for it since everything I do is online. Describe your site I run a cheeky product and service review blog aimed at moms (and the dads who love them). We highlight cool handmade/indy made products twice daily, with an emphasis on products that are created or invented by moms. We're not fashion editors -- just moms with great taste and a lot of time on our hands to search for fabulous finds and present them in a way that hopefully makes folks chuckle. Where does your inspiration come from? Liz and I just love the idea of supporting the community of mothers as well as indy artists who can't afford typical advertising. Additionally, we like stuff -- who doesn't right? What is your advice for anyone who likes to work from home. I'd say it's so important for folks to create a schedule and talk to someone else who does it. Advice in this situation is invaluable. Any other things that you think can inspire other women. I'd say that if you're passionate about something then there's no time like the present to give it a try -- particularly if it's a fabulous idea. Chances are if you've thought of it, someone else has as well, so better to be the first one in line.

H.O.W. feature – Bug & Pickle 0

Posted on July 17, 2007 by dc
howfeature.jpg bug.jpg Couple of months ago, I did a review on a range of natural body products for moms and babes known as Bug and Pickle. After reading all the raving reviews of the products, I went on to read more about the people behind this lovely online store. It turned out that the store was the brainchild of two sisters - Bug (Kim) and Pickle (Nicole), who were also entrepreneurs in a successful and unique spa in Vancouver, Bloom Essentials Spa. I'm honoured to share the story of how these two sisters start their online business... and after you read their story, don't forget to check out the great range of wholesome body products in the store too! How did this home office begin? In the beginning my sister and I were producing our products and shipping out of our existing boutique spa in Vancouver (we have a small retail space where we sell our lotions and potions as well as a small day spa). When we decided to launch the wholesale portion of our company with the introduction of our Bug & Pickle line we really thought we could manage to use the space for everything...but it didn't take long to discover that at least one of us was going to have to move out! There simply was not enough room to work and with spa customers coming in and out all day it became impossible to function. And my little home office was born! bellycream_front.jpg Perks and Challenges of Working at Home Honestly, I love working from home. I can set up my space exactly how I want it and no one can change it on me. My work attire is totally up to me (right now it's my p.j.'s) and I love the freedom of having a flexible schedule. My biggest challenge is having a clear start and end time to my day. Because I am up early in the morning I tend to get at it straight way but then suddenly it's early evening and I have been going all day without really realizing it! I do have to make a point of leaving time for myself everyday. Our Business Bug & Pickle is a wholesome line of bath and body care created specifically for mums and babes. As trained aromatherapists, we constantly had people asking for natural remedies to common issues facing new mums and new babies. Using the power of essential oils we came up with several products that heal and soothe and that people feel good about using. Our products range from 96% to 100% natural and are all handmade in Canada. Mums love to discover our Belly Cream (fight those stretch marks!) while they're pregnant and then continuing with the line to pamper baby with products such as our Baby Lotion and Diaper Gel when they arrive. babybutter_front.jpg Advice for Those Considering Working at Home As I mentioned above, my greatest advice would be to clearly define your work day so you don't burn yourself out. Really try to squash the urge to check your email just one last time before bed! Also, spend some time and a bit of money creating a space that works for you and that you enjoy. What do you get most out of this business? I love creating new products and new packaging. And I love having mums contact me to say they love our products! That really is the best feeling.
