Bold Mom: Suze of RAGGEDedge Gear
Bold Mom Susan “Suze” Bailey and daughter Meredith “Mud” of RAGGEDedge Gear started making bags out of sailcloth when Mud was just a kid. Now the two have turned this hobby into a successful business that has gotten them through some tough times and has brought them closer together. Suze is an amazing seamstress and Mud is following in her footsteps. I’ve asked them to describe their experiences in being bold mother/daughter business partners.
Bold Mom: Rachel of LüSa Organics
Bold Mom Rachel Wolf of LüSa Organics used to be an environmental educator. She gave up that career to raise her family but she never gave up her passion for the environment. She started a business creating organic body care products. With an in-home business, a handful of employees, and homeschooling duties Rachel somehow still finds time to write her successful blog, Clean. I’ve asked Rachel to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.
Bold Mom: Josie of Wooly Baby
Bold Mom Josie Marsh of Wooly Baby left her engineering career to be a stay-at-home mom. Soon after, she was inspired by her daughter to begin upcycling old used sweaters and leather into the most beautiful handmade eco-friendly slippers. And like many small business owners she does her own photography, marketing, sales and social networking. I’ve asked Josie to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.
Bold Mom: Mariah of Baby ala Mode
Bold Mom Mariah Haney of Baby ala Mode makes stellar clothes for one-of-a-kind kids. She hand-paints all her shirts using various stencils that she’s created. Mariah is beyond busy hand-making clothes for local baby and children’s boutiques as well as her 2 Etsy shops. And to top it off, she’s a military wife raising 2 young girls! I’ve asked Mariah to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.

Etsy Gift Guide: Geek god
Giving handmade gifts from Etsy sellers is a great way to show someone that you care. Each item has been individually crafted by a human being who is passionate about their product and knows the value of great customer service. Many items are one-of-a-kind and many can be custom-made to suit your gift recipients tastes. AND I’m so excited and amazed by the fact that most of of the Etsy sellers on my list are not only busy entrepreneurs but also busy parents.
Here are my Etsy gift picks for Geek gods (inspired by mine)…
