They call me Shannon, mother of three, task master, and concierge-at-large.
As a single mother, I finally decided to make the transition from "working for the man" to owning my own business. I started a concierge and organizational services business with the aim of helping others like me "put the quality back in their time".
This is my first day at STL Moms, and I am wondering if there are any other proprieter mommies out there who can offer any tips on marketing, networking, and balancing home work and home life.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi Shannon!
Welcome to STLMom's. I've been a stay-at-home mom for about 3 years now and also had a work from home style business. I've juggled it all - but I've recently decided to take a break from direct sales and focus on getting better at being a stay-at-home mom. I'd like to hear more about what you do. It sounds like you've got a great service to offer and promising business idea. Would you like to share? More info about it?
Sincerely, Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I'd say being a stay-at-home mom is one of the hardest things I ever did. I did it for two years when my first two were very little. I wanted to see every minute, mold them, teach them... all of the things you can't replace, but somewhere in there, I lost myself. It's been about five years since I started working again, and it's been a long road of finding that balance, and it's still a work in progress. I still hate missing field trips and awards assemblies, but I feel like I'm teaching them a lesson too, about responsibility. I was not talented enough to do it from home. Congrats to you for following your heart!!
In my on-going quest for balance and serenity, I realized what everyone wants more of.... more than money or things or food or even chocolate (i'm not sure I believe the chocolate one, lol) is TIME! Just like everyone else, I am always complaining that there aren't enough hours in the day. If I don't do laundry, grocery shopping, gift shopping, errand running, closet organizing, mail birthday/holiday cards, make reservations, plan my childs next birthday party, etc, etc, etc....who is??? Especially as moms, we wear sooooo many hats, we are constantly juggling, managing the house, the family calendar, working, researching, reading, trying to fit in working out, we are always running, running, running.
I decided we all needed to put an end to the madness. Despite all of the latest technology, our lives are still busier than ever and in our "free" time, we are left feeling guilty because our TO-DO list is lurking just around the corner. While I'm busy managing the family and household, everyone else is having fun. Not cool. My answer: Delegate! I created a company that you can delegate certain "chores" to. Thus, giving you time in which you can relax, have fun, and not feel one ounce of guilt.
We deserve this time...quality time. We all work hard. I love being able to help people, to realize that they have finally been able to "stop and smell the roses" is an awesome feeling.
