Hello from Minnesota

ChrisO · 02-26-2006, 09:40 PM

Hi there,

My name is Christine and I live in Minnesota. I am married with 3 kids and 1 more on the way. I currently work outside of the home but am hoping to find someting to do from home instead once my baby comes. I have been working outside of the home for the past 6 yrs and would really like to cut out the daycare for the lil'er ones. I will have one more in school this fall, so that will be nice and the 3rd one the next fall after that.....it will be so nice to have 1 at home...LOL.

I have been looking into some business stuff that I started this past summer. I have been making Diaper cakes and Gift baskets over the years and was going to market them along with some other stuff but I am not getting all the busniess info that I need.

Heres may question to those that live in MN and would know some of the business and food laws here? If you are able to

me you can email me as well.

NIce to meet everyone in advance!
Christine

HI and Thanks for the welcoming.

I will be contacting some more people today. I have my husband at home with me today (very rare) so I am going to have hime

me. As for the diaper cakes, um, yummy isnt the word...LOL.

I have pics, but they are on my other PC still we just got a new one last week and havent transferred everything yet.

My cakes are made out of baby items, diapers blankets and lil baby toys, ect. most of the ones that I have made have been the 3 layer cakes. Looks like a wedding cake when finished, but only with baby items. Its another creation of the towel cakes you see made for bridal showers.

Hows everyone today? Oh, my kids are 10 1/2, 5 and 3 1/2 anf then newborn arriving April 12th, so they say....

Have a good one!

Chris
