NomieBaby Featured in The MomShift

http://www.themomshift.com/

I am honored to report that NomieBaby has been included in the book The MomShift by Reva Seth, which puts the spotlight on working mothers and families in a positive way, arguing that having children can help grow a business.

Children have not only helped grow NomieBaby, but were the inspiration for it. When my little one got sick in her car seat, I had a hard time removing the cover to clean it. And if you've had a carsick child, you know that you want that smell GONE. But removing the car seat cover that came with the car seat proved to be very difficult, and getting it in? Forget it. There had to be a better way.

With the support of my family (my husband and three children), I developed and patented the NomieBaby car seat cover with a spill proof backing, so that even the messiest messes have a better shot at being protected from getting the car seat dirty. Other mothers and fathers have loved it, and growing this business with my family has been so gratifying.

For your next read, do get this book. It's one of many good reads out lately that support women entrepreneurs.

Tips for Traveling with Little Ones Made Easy

There are few things that paralyze parents with fear more than the prospect of loading up the car for a road trip and traveling with little ones.  Of course there is all the gear and preparations to make everything goes as smooth as possible, not to mention ways to make "are we there yet" be as quick, pleasant and mess-free as possible.

Here are some simple tips that can make traveling with kids easier, and give you more time for the fun:
1. Pack a fun bag, that has little toys or games.  It's fun to make some of the things in the bag items that are either new, or haven't been seen or used by your child in a while.
2. Think of some fun car games for example "car bingo" or the alphabet game
3. Plan a few stops along the way if the drive is long.
4. Pack a snack bag
5. Pack a "cleanup bag" which includes change of clothes, plastic bag for dirty clothes, wipes, & paper towels and a spare Nomie Baby car seat cover to continue to protect your car seat.

Being caught off guard usually makes things worse, so the better prepared the better things will be!
