The Mumpreneur Diaries

<p>Working from home no more commuting flexible hours spending more time with the kids – it’s what being a Mumpreneur is all about – isn’t it?</p> <p>It was a commute to work whilst heavily pregnant with baby number two that sparked Mosey's 'now or never' decision to get off the 9-5 treadmill. Inhaling lungfuls of deliciously ripe BO from a fat bloke’s armpit somewhere between Regent’s Park and Oxford Circus may have been the tipping point.</p> <p>After the birth of Boy Two the thought of returning to the office wasn’t appealing to Mosey but days filled with nappies and Alphabet Spaghetti failed to thrill either.</p> <p>Why not employ herself Mosey thought. A mum’s concierge business combined with training to be a doula was bound to rake in a profit. Twelve months maternity leave to make it work. How hard could it be?</p> <p>But Mosey and her mumpreneur mates soon discover that sleepless nights flaky partners finance crises and marital breakdowns are all par for the course when mixing babies and a business. Boy One won’t eat Boy Two won’t sleep business ventures are strangled at birth the mortgage is rocketing and sole wage-earner husband is on the verge of losing his job. In her own year of living dangerously will Mosey make the break or reluctantly rejoin the rat race?</p> <p>Mosey’s down-to-earth wry look at life as a frazzled one-woman business is laugh-out-loud funny and full of warmth. This is a ‘mumoir’ that will inspire motivate and charm would-be mumpreneurs everywhere.</p>
