With her extensive background in business, both large and small, a transition into becoming a Mompreneur was a natural one. She was able to combine her professional expertise with her new found passion for sourcing fresh, healthy and fun children's products for her two kids and turned it into a successful online children's boutique called www.raspberrykids.com. Since July of 2008, she has chronicled her journey as a Mompreneur through her blog at http://blog.raspberrykids.com
