Mom Owned Businesses

The words green and posh seemed a bit contradictory to me at first, but then I thought about the city of San Francisco and a little (energy-efficient fluoresent) light went off in my head and I got it.

Green Posh Moms is a forum being developed by two sisters, one of whom lives right here in Loudoun County. The forum is a new resource and its success is dependent upon folks joining and participating in discussions and sharing ideas.

Care to be one of those folks?

There are so many work-at-home moms out there doing cool things! One mom based right here in Leesburg, VA finds used clothes and turns them into something new for babies, hence her name — Recycling Babies.

Active Family Services, LLC has been quoted in the Washington Post! I am tickled that our steam cleaning practices made the news.

This new blog, written by a local mom, is full of interviews of entrepreneurial women.

Thanks to all of you who visited our table at the Loudoun County Child Care & Resource Fair today! Our Where in Loudoun County? contest stumped many folks. Guesses included: Potomac River, Algonkian Park, Goose Creek, White’s Ferry, and Ida Lee Park.

I’ll send an email with the results later tonight, but in the meantime only two folks guessed the correct answer, Olde Izaak Walton Park in Leesburg. The randomly chosen winner from among these two will receive their choice of 2 hours free childcare or an advertising spot on our website I hope you and your kids enjoy exploring Olde Izaak Walton and also checking out some of our other favorite places in Loudoun County.

My children have been to open play at the Play’n Around Gym a few times, and each time they asked to go again in the next day or so.

The place is very open - it is easy to see your kids from wherever you are in the room. It is also brightly lit (a little too brightly if you ask me), and has fun (loud) music playing.

If you are looking for another indoor place to run your kids and can afford to pay an entry fee it is worth checking their schedule.

Nice soaps are a relatively cheap way to indulge on a daily basis even when the budget gets tight.

While I still just talking about starting Active Family Services, my husband surprised me with a gift of handmade soaps from Moondance. He had come across an article online about this successful mom-owned business, and it struck him as a success story that would inspire us to move forward with our own dream.

We have loved every soap we have ordered!

1st Annual Momma-Preneur Marketplace

I stopped by this event and was glad I went. They got an impressive amount of traffic for a first time event, so if you are looking for someplace to showcase your business it may be worth inquiring.
