Where's April?

We're going through a pretty intense redesign right now that is postponing the April content. April and May will probably be combined, so stay tuned!

Jill Besnoy is our entrepreneur mom of the month for creating Honest Baby, a hilarious tongue-in-cheek line of baby attire. Check out her site: www.honestbaby.com

My BFF Victoria Pericon, aka. Savvy Mommy has a new name for her blog: No Minivan, Just Moxie. http://www.savvymommy.com/blog
Be sure to not only read her funny blog, but visit her main site for the best mom and baby products out there.

Thanks for your patience! We are working hard on a lot of very neat projects and can't wait to show them off.

Inc.com loves BusinessMom.net

Inc.com is the online version of Inc. magazine, one of the best resources for modern entrepreneurs. When they're not interviewing the hottest new entrepreneur, they're keeping us up to date with an "oldie but goodie".

Every month, I wait in anticipation for my Inc. (I've subscribed for a number of years) to get crammed in our home mailbox.

This morning I received an email from a company with exclusive reprint rights with Inc. asking if I'd like to create a press kit including the recent coverage.

Recent coverage?

I did a quick search and lo and behold, BusinessMom.net, our sister site, was covered by Inc. com! How cool is that?

Bunmi Goes Bummis

In the "Natural Products Expo" blog I mentioned working on a very special project. This project touches on a very controversial topic in the mom community. When the idea first came up, I was excited and quite nervous at the same time, especially because it involves my baby.

Are you ready to know what I'm talking about?

For the next 30 days starting Monday, I'm going Bummis. Bummis is one of the leaders in cloth (yes, I said cloth) diapering. Betsy Thomas, the founder of the company, is launching me on what will be a very interesting journey that we're calling "Bunmi Goes Bummis".

For those of you die hard cloth-fanatics that have never touched a plastic disposable, I probably sound melodramatic. But when you've been able to "change and dump" for the last 10 months, this change, even though it is temporary, feels pretty drastic.

Part of the project involves keeping a blog (www.mommyscompany.com/bummis) of this saga as well as allowing a camera crew to film for a period of time.

If you see me doing anything weird/wrong, don't send me an email!

Natural Products Expo 2007.

This weekend I was privileged to attend the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA (a few blocks from Disneyland). Imagine close to 3,000 companies on two vast convention center floors exhibiting everything from herbal tea to gummy vitamins. So fun. There were the big guys like Odwalla and Horizon as well as many small businesses in attendance.

The natural products industry is one of the fastest growing sectors. I believe this is due to conscientious mothers both starting businesses and shopping smartly.

I was there bright and early on Friday, the first day of the expo. It takes an early bird to scope out a prime location in press rooms; somewhere where one can people watch and get perfect WiFi reception at the same time.

I wasn't with one of the big media outlets; I was looking for entrepreneur moms, of which I found many!

Rondi Prescott, the business mama behind Healthy Times, was proudly manning her display along with a corporate representative. I had a great conversation with her about how she turned a small baby food line into an internationally recognized brand.

Guess who else I stumbled across? Our very own MC Business Mama, Theresa Kiene, at her Homemade Baby station! The convention is so huge that it felt like it's own country, so our shrieks of excitement upon seeing each other were more than warranted in my opinion. I saved on lunch by eating her yummy baby food samples including a new line of apple-goodness that they will be releasing soon (I'll keep you updated).

I also had a meeting with a company that I will be doing a very special (and public) project with very soon.

Many non-mom owned businesses had great items that will be making their way onto future MC's Hot Products pages.

I met so many enterprising women and can't wait to showcase them on MC. I experienced everything from toddler health smoothies to organic baby sheets. How can you not love how businesses are creating solutions and products to serve families?

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
