Summer is finally here! And of course with summer also comes summer break for all the school kids. Funny, my kids don't seem to like it when mom's on the computer all the time?!? So, I have to cut back on some of my online time. Not that I really mind because I want to enjoy the summer some too...and isn't our kids part of the reason most of us are at home anyway?!? Speaking of slowing down in the summer...Have you been experiencing the "Summer Slowdown" yet? Don't forget to get your ad in Mommy's Money Helper this summer and get your online business to your offline customers.
Hope everyone is surviving the summer so far. I realise it's a change for those that have children in school, but for here it's business as usual. The only real change is the nicer weather and having to go outside just a bit more than we did a few months ago.

Products/Services: Our online boutique has gift baskets, gifts, collectibles, home accents,
candles, sterling silver jewelry and more
Why you chose this business : I really love to shop - but mostly because I like
helping others shop. I worked in retail before my children
were born and I would help select gifts and wrapping for clients
in our store. Due to our homeschooling commitment, I decided
to bring the business online.
Hardest part of business : The most frustrating part is trying to
balancing this with my full time job. This will
get much easier soon when I go full time with my
business.
Best part of business: Hosting online parties and meeting new people!
Also having the opportunity to sponsor contests!
Are you successful by your standards? Yes - my business supports itself each month so
when I do get extra sales its all profit, even if
it isn't equal to a full time job away from the home.
Biggest support : My husband and girls. My husband was the one who
suggested I take the business online. And my girls,
who the business is named after, also help packaging
orders, stamping catalogs, and entertaining themselves
while I'm on the phone.
Anything you would do different? More research regarding merchant accounts.
