Bows Oh So Cute


Marketmommies:
 
Tell us about your business
Angel:  
Bows Oh So Cute is my business where I make bows and more for all girly girls!

Marketmommies:   How did you get started?
Angel:  My daughter loves bows and I could no longer afford to buy from Boutiques, so I searched online and found many helpful sites, like www.girlytthingsbows.com, also tutorials helped and lots of video's on You Tube!  It took lots of trial and error and practice but I didn't give up, and practiced, practiced, practiced!

Marketmommies:  Did you have an "aha" moment when everything regarding starting your own business just clicked?
Angel:  My "aha" moment came when I discovered Etsy, online store for all things handmade, it is a wonderful place for mom owned businesses to sell there items.

Marketmommies:  What inspires you to keep going?
Angel:   
My two wonderful children and my patient and understanding husband are always an inspiration to me, they give me the strength to keep going and keep trying to succeed.

Marketmommies:  Tell us about an average day in your life (as if there is such a thing)
Angel:  An average day in my life would consist of getting the kids to school on time, and usually volunteering at there school most days, if not at school, then I am at home creating something or thinking of what to create at least, until the kids get off school then its driving from one activity to the next, as you can see most days all more work get done is the late evening! 

Marketmommies:  
Where do you hope to see your business in one year?  5 years?
Angel:  In one year I hope to see my business growing to many loyal and wonderful customers!  In 5 years I would love to have expanded to maybe boutique stores.

Marketmommies:  Any advice for other Moms who have their own business?
Angel:   
Advice to other moms who have businesses would be to never give up, just keep moving forward, tomorrow is a new day!

Marketmommies:  What was your biggest learning curve in starting and running your Mom Owned Business?
Angel:  My biggest learning curve would be when it came to taxes!

Marketmommies:   How do you find a balance between family and business?
God first, family second, business third

Marketmommies:  Tell us about your family.
Angel:  I have been married for 12 years this July to my wonderful and supportive husband!  We have two wonderful and smart children, our son is 9 and daughter is 7, both keep me extremely busy with school activities and after-school activities! 

Marketmommies:  Anything else you would like to add?
