Support a Mom Sunday! Boogie Snatcher

I love this new product!  My sorority sister recently trademarked this awesome new baby product to safely clean your baby’s nose.

The Boogie Snatcher is an infant nasal cleanser, aimed at being less invasive but just as effective as the traditional bulb syringe, Q-tip, or other nose cleaning devise.

 

The Boogie Snatcher looks like tweezers (with short and rounded tips for safe use) and is a gentle and easy way to remove mucus from a newborn’s nostrils. 

 

The Mom behind the magic, Lori, said she was frustrated with the nose-cleaning options for her own infant son.  She found a similar product from Japan, but there was nothing like it on the shelves here in America.  Thus, Lori, a self starter and business entrepreneur, created the Boogie Snatcher in 2011.

 

You can purchase one for your baby (buy two and receive a discount) or learn more about the company by visiting the website:  www.boogiesnatcher.com

 

Best of all, 10% of all sales are donated to Kiva, to help alleviate poverty.

Turn your Hobby into Cash!!

Sounds like a commercial for selling gold.  But, I’m here as a cheerleader, encouraging women to turn a hobby that you enjoy into money in your pocket!!  I know you can do it, because I have, and if I can do it, you can do it!

 

Everyone is good at something. 

 

And everyone has at least one hobby they enjoy doing.

 

So why not capitalize on that hobby?

 

For me, I enjoy writing.  I started college with a major in Journalism, before deciding half way through Freshman year that I loved both Political Science and Communication.  I often regret that decision.  So….I’ve turned my hobby into something more.

 

Although not my full time career, I truly enjoy writing.  A few years ago, I worked hard getting a couple sample pieces together to send to editors.   After a lot of effort, I got in as a freelancer for some local magazines.  I would have done the work for free!  The fact that they paid me was an added bonus. 

 

Although the pay was small at first, writing now is a real part of my income, paying for a car payment and some spending money each month. 

 

If your talent is making cakes, I encourage you to start making cakes for a profit.  Sell them to friends, family, or neighbors. 

 

Can you knit or sew?  Take it to the  next level by marketing and selling your craft. 

 

Two success stories I’ve written about, Julie and Megan, both are great examples of two women who chose to take their talent to the next level and earn a profit by sharing it with the world. 

 

Like to clean (ok, who really likes to do that, but maybe you do?) then start a side business as a part time cleaner.  Love kids?  Consider watching additional kids in your home or on the weekends.  Are all your friends always saying how well decorated your home is?  Market yourself as a part-time interior decorater.

 

Whatever it is you enjoy, find your God-Given talent (which we all have) and share it with the world!!
