I have something that will help us!

Hey there all you fabulous working moms, 



I am new to the site but so far I'm loving how user friendly everything is.  I wanted to share something with you all.  I know everyone here understands the challenges that we face every day as working mothers.  A few years ago, I faced a challenge that I did not think I would get through.  I decided to return to college and pursue my degree in journalism.  I still had to work full-time and it was sooo difficult to balance everything. Fortunately, I made it but it was not  without tons of tears, angst and sadness.  During that time, my children and I barely had enough time to sit and chat.  In fact, sometimes the first time I'd see them in the morning would be the last time I saw them for the entire day. I was missing out on family activities, school plays and sporting events because I HAD to study for exams constantly.  It was heart breaking but my schedule was just grueling. It was without a doubt a huge sacrifice our family made. Anyway, it was then that I created a set of interactive journals especially designed for working moms and their kids.  They were great.  Co-workers loved them (and even bought some); I captured a little attention on the local level; I was featured on a talk radio show for moms and had a few non-profit organizations looking to use them as well. It helped me bond with my children and we still use them today.  Take a look at my website www.lambertangel.com and let me know what you think about them.  I'm trying to get them into stores but that is a whole different animal.  I think they would be GREAT for companies like HALLMARK but those guys won't even look at unsolicited products/ideas.  If anyone has any advice on how I can get my books out to the public, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Kate,
thanks for responding to me. I will definitely post a question on the forum. I actually thought that my little write-up was posted in a place where everyone could view it. Like I said I am new so I still have to learn how to navigate my way around. I will also check my area for the boutique style stores and see what I can come up with. Thanks again!

hey! i checked out your site - very cool! maybe post a question in the forum about how to better market your nifty idea?

have you tried taking some with you to any local botique style shops? sometimes the independant stores are more likely to be open to selling them for you than the big chains!
