Support your local 'Mompreneur'!

If you haven't heard the term before, 'mompreneur' refers to the growing sector of stay-at-home moms who start small businesses, allowing them to spend more time with their families while generating a bit of income as well.

Mompreneurs and their businesses come in all shapes and sizes, offering a wide range of products and services. Frequently they sell handcrafted or homemade products - from clothing to toys to food - or resell a boutique selection of desirable products, such as baby gear or footwear.

I recently read about Bradford mompreneurs Vicky Gerke and Laura Jennekens, who started a small business making handbags our of reclaimed fabric, and now have a very successful business called Echoes in the Attic, selling bags and pillows via chic stores across the country.

Another talented group of mompreneurs are the local graphic artists who operate A Little Birdie Told Me, making absolutely gorgeous customized invitations, announcements and thank-you notes.

As a former mompreneur myself (before I decided to join the family business) I try my best to support this fast-growing sector. What better way to keep money in your own community, support local talent and justify your shopping habit? Oops, did I say that out loud? - Caleigh
