The favor factor!!!!

We have been so excited here at Mommy Mogul! :-D
We were recently approached by a wonderful lady to be featured on her blog. Of course we accepted! How wonderful, and she wrote a wonderful article about us too!
I enjoyed reading all of the feature articles on her blog!
check it out at: 2gerberbabies.blogspot.com

We have been experiencing things like this all of the time. We were also able to donate a gift for a fundraiser for a shelter. We have donated things before, but we feel so very fortunate to be able to help others.
Although our days are busy, we like to stop and give thanks for all of the wonderful things that have happened to us and all of our wonderful customers! Without you we would not be able to do what we are doing!

Thank you!

Helpful tip: Procrastination is the killer of dreams! Stop waiting for everything to be perfect, because it never will be. Stop waiting and start doing!

New look, New Site, New Products!

The word of the day is new! We have a new store that we just opened. It is the same address mrsmommymogul.com- but we changed providers. You will notice the new format. I really love it! It has a wish list that you can email to your friends to help them pick out something that you really want. We are in the process of getting a gift registry added.

We also have just joined twitter! We are having a lot of fun with that as well! Facebook will be next on our list of things to do.

As you can see, we have a new banner and our blog background has changed as well!
Sometimes change can bring a sense of excitement with it and that is what it has done for us here at Mommy Mogul.



We have added our altered paint cans to our line of fine gifts! One of my favorites is the Movie Night! I think it is wonderful. You get two sodas of your choice, 2 boxes of candy of your choice (choices limited), and 2 bags of popcorn. It all comes packaged in this wonderful paint can that has been altered.



Another one of my favorites is the Birthday Party in a can! I know when I was in college, it felt great to receive a care package from a loved one. This is great for that college kid that is celebrating a birthday. It comes with a cake that they can make in the microwave, birthday candles, balloons, and 2 confetti poppers. It comes in this beautifully altered paint can. They will receive the key to open this "care package", and boy will they get a kick out of it. I'm sure all of their college roommates will be jealous!




We have also added fizzy bubbles bath bombs-TM



They are so fun! Just drop them in the water and let the fizzing begin! They will scent and color the water. Each bomb is made with essential oils, so it will feel great to your skin.


*Always to remember to use precaution with products that use oils in them, they can make the bathtub very slippery!

A new look and a new attitude!!

Mommy Mogul is undergoing a new look to go along with our new attitude!
Mommy Mogul helping Moms everywhere! New products, new design, new marketing.
Out with the old and in with the new! Stay tuned for the unveiling of our new fresh look :-D

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe the year is almost over. It has been crazy, but it has been fun. I am excited to see what the new year has to bring. If drinking is in your celebration plans for the new year, be sure to drink responsibly. Remember choices have consequences :)

From all of us at Mommy Mogul . . . . Happy New Year.

Super Sized!!!!

We are sooooo happy here at Mommy Mogul. We just got the biggest order we have ever gotten since starting our bath and body product line. Someone ordered 20 soaps and 20 lotions! Talk about a super-sized order!!!! We love it ! :) We are looking forward to filling orders like that more often, yet we enjoy every order that comes in. What a great feeling to have someone love your products! We're fulfilling our dream one step at a time!!!!

Busy, busy, busy!!!

Boy has this holiday season been busy, busy, busy!!! I did not realize how busy it would be during the holiday season owning your own business. This has been our first official Christmas season, since we are just one year old. Boy was it busy. I have four children ranging in ages from 17 to 1. Each one has their own activities that I have to fit into my already busy day. I also work a full time job while I am trying to start my own business. I love the phrase that working mother is a redundant term!!! I know exactly what it means to be a working mother. You never seem to get a day off. Even when I get a day off from my "regular" job, I don't get a day off from anything else.
We recently found out how much fun craft fairs are for our business and how good they are as well. We did Santa's Market earlier this month, and we ended it with a craft fair at Tabor's here in San Angelo. We did very well at both fairs. The neatest thing about these fairs, is that you get to meet the customers that have been following us to get our soaps and lotions! We get to hear the wonderful stories that they have about our products! That is the neatest thing to know that something that you made is helping someone, or that they simply just love it better than that Wal-Mart brand. It is a great feeling to know that people are starting to know the name of your business and that they want your products.

We recently introduced our hair bow holders to our line of kid's gifts and they were a huge hit! One woman bought two of our hair bow holders at a craft fair. She kept one for her daughter and took the other one as a gift to a birthday party. When one of the other mothers at the birthday party saw the hair bow holder, she asked where the mom bought it. She told her that she got it at the craft show. The mother left the birthday party and came to the craft fair to find us. She has now bought several hair bow holders from us! Another lady ran out of our soap and and she tracked us down at a craft fair just to get more! It is stories like those that make you appreciate all of the hard work that goes into starting your own business. There are many struggles, but it is all worth it to know that someone appreciates the things that you are creating.
Someday I hope to own my own shop. I hope to do this full time. That is what I am working toward. And I believe that I will make it . . . . one step at a time!!!!!!

Santa's not the only one bringing gifts!!!!

Santa's not the only one bringing gifts! Mommy Mogul went to it's first Santa's Market here at Goodfellow Air force base. It was so much fun. It definitely hard work though! We were supposed to go on Friday to set things up. Well, Mommy Mogul is not the only job that I have, I also have another job. I am really wanting this company to become successful enough that I can quit my other job and do my Mommy Mogul job full time! After working eight hard hours on Thursday, I was so tired that I fell asleep and did absolutely nothing to prepare. That was not exactly my plan. My wonderful husband (I am saying that sarcastically right now) let me sleep the whole night away instead of getting ready for the craft fair. Since he didn't want to mess anything up without my help, he didn't do anything either :( . Needless to say, nothing got done on Thursday. Nothing! That was not good. We wound up running around on Friday like crazy people !! :)
Now this was our first craft fair on an air force base. You have to go through a lot of security checks and things of that nature when you are participating at a craft fair on an air force base. I thought it was going to be a lot of trouble to have our car searched by military dogs and then a security force and all of that kind of stuff. It wasn't! Everything went off without a hitch.
It was definitely an experience to go to a show of that magnitude. We were not used to it at all. We have been to some craft fairs, but this one was bigger by far than anything we had experienced. It was a lot of work, but it was so worth it. Everything was done with such professionalism and we loved it. People poured in from the time they opened the doors until the time the doors were closed. There was no down time at all, it was a constant stream of shoppers coming in. I love the vendors that went to this show. It is a community within it self when you are a vendor. People are so friendly and so helpful and you come to realize very quickly that this is a way of life for these people! And I love it! The vendors had some very creative things to sell that I had never seen before. I loved the creativity of the vendors that were at this show. I love to see how different minds work and I love beautiful and unusual things. I got a chance to see them all! This was one of the best weekends I have ever spent.
We have given our soaps a face lift. They look different, but they are the same quality that you have come to expect from Mommy Mogul. I have the most wonderful story that happened to us this weekend while we were at Santa's Market. We have a booth at a store called Jerrolyn's. Our products can be found there everyday if one of our customers needs to buy more. We normally also go to the Chicken Farm, which is a craft fair that is held every first Saturday of the month. We did not go this passed month because we were trying to get ready for Santa's Market. I had heard that the Santa's Market craft show was very big, and I did not know what to expect. So we made more products and we pulled our products from Jerrolyn's on Thursday afternoon to make sure that we had enough products. There was a precious lady that did not see us at the Chicken Farm show and so she went to Jerrolyn's to buy more soap. She didn't see any of our products and so she thought we had gone out of business. The owner of Jerrolyn's told her we were at the Santa's Market craft show. She drove out there and looked all over the place to find us so that she could buy another bar of our soap. She told me how much she loved our Japanese Cherry Blossom soap. It really touched my heart. I love to hear how much our customers love our soap! It touches my heart to hear how much they love our work. It means so much to me, and it never gets old. Thank you everyone for your support!!!!
