Why Mom-Made Products Rock!

I have been a huge supporter of mom-made products for years now. So much so, that I wanted to be 'That Mom'. I had an idea and brought it to the table. I took a chance not even knowing how to use a sewing machine and my business took off. I had a lot of support and ideas that I got from other mom businesses that continue to inspire me.
What makes mom made products so awesome though? The attention to detail and customer service is unmatched in comparison to any of the big corporations out there. I took phone calls from all over the country, at all hours of the day and answered customer questions, gave them suggestions on fabrics and sent them online swatches to help them see my vision. Often times it took 4-5 phone calls before an order was placed. Each order is tailor made specifically made for you and often times these hectic mommy-trenuers are packing up your order, or putting together your hair bow right on their dining room table while making dinner or helping their kids with their homework. The amount of work and dedication to owning your own business and making your own products is immense.
There are some talented moms out there and often times those items are one of a kind and you are not going to find them in a store. And when you buy a mom-made product, doesn't it give you warm fuzzies to know that you are actually helping to support a household very much like your own?
And on that note- hope you all had a fabulous weekend and a productive week ahead!
