In my dealings as a new mum I found that I kept bumping into other mums running businesses from home, who often had the most wonderful products and services, but didn't have lots of time, money or energy for advertising. So we've decided that as part of our business practice we want to help out other WAHMs (work at home mums) by linking on our site. So have a browse around, and see how many talented people there are busily raising kids and finding the time to provide other mums with great products…

Holly Chic is a new baby bedding company that makes sheets, quilts, blankets and other baby accessories here in Auckland. Keri started her home-based business after she couldn’t find any modern baby bedding that was affordable for the average kiwi - and beautiful at the same time.

Okay, so as far as I know she isn't a Mum. And this is not really about babies. But I love Tanya's cd The Fairytale Tree so much I just had to have a quick rave. Let your child's imagination soar. Tell a story. Feeling uninspired? Get The Fairytale Tree and gather round for a listen. Encourage their powers of listening and imagining and capture their dreamy side. Do you remember someone telling you a story?
