WAHM chatall the ins and outs of being a Work At Home Mom, how to get popcorn out of your keyboard/printer, and when not to send that invoice with the scribble.
I'm anni
my biz is called Quilter's Palette
I make hand-dyed fabrics that I wholesale to quiltshops, and retail at shows.
No web site though.
I'm so glad someone started this forum, I've been thinking this is what we needed here at Amity.
Thanks
anni

I kind of work from home still. I make baby afghans and other trinkets and sell them via consignment on and offline. Not really a biz type of thing now but maybe eventually. mainly I make the blankets as gifts for now.
I do however maintain a resource site for Doulas in the state of California. I list Doulas who want to volunteer so that mommies can contact them for their services. You can get a Doula for a very low cost or even free if they are training and need to get their hours in -- in exchange for filling out a review for them for certification. I also try and keep tabs on local events for doulas so that we stay in touch and strong. http://www.mommie-care.com
I also have another site where I swap cards/banners/samples with other natural mommies to pass out at events and in orders. http://www.naturalmommies.com

A great cloth menstrual pad that has been passed down through a line of Amity Mamas. (((((
