We’re a finalist for Best Eco-Friendly Business!

Mums in business are a fascinating bunch – and there are days when I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into, trying to juggle the demands of my Itty Bitty business (which is a one-person operation) as well as the demands of motherhood and a part-time job on top of it all.

But thankfully there’s an online community called Connect2Mums that provides support and encouragement for parents – especially those who’ve made the leap into the business world. It’s a place to network, share ideas, learn and support each other, and on some days it’s a godsend when I’m fighting the battle alone with only my laptop for company.

A few days ago I was thrilled to learn that Itty Bitty Greenie has been named a finalist for the annual AusMumpreneur Awards in the “Eco-Friendly Business” category. The idea that there are other parents who’ve recognized my efforts and also to have a chance to celebrate them among a roomful of other inspiring people is just… awesome!

The awards recognize mums in business across Australia and New Zealand, and are presented at a gala ceremony held in Sydney on August 27. In addition to the main awards categories, there are a number of people’s choice awards – and that’s where YOU come in. Itty Bitty Greenie has been named a finalist in the “Best Boutique / Store” category, and you have a chance to vote for me and also discover some other wonderful mums in business who are doing great things.

Voting is easy – just follow these simple steps:

1. Become a member of Connect2Mums (it’s free to join)
2. Follow the link on the home page to the people’s choice awards “Best Boutique / Store” Album, which looks like the image at right.
3. Click on Itty Bitty Greenie’s profile (it’s at the bottom right, on the second page) and click on the ‘LIKE’ button at the base of the description.

OR you can click here, you will just need to register and log in to the site.

Thank you in advance for your vote, and even more, for the vote of confidence and support you’ve offered throughout this past year.

Kitchen-table tycoons

Little Innoscents

“Mumpreneurs” are fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the business world and I couldn’t be happier for one fellow mother and business owner whom I have worked with over the past year and who was recently given a prestigious business award.

Antonette Golikidis, founder of Little Innoscents organic skincare for children was named “AusMumpreneur of the Year” at the 2010 AusMumpreneur awards in Brisbane this month.

Antonette started her brand of organic skincare in her own kitchen and said she soon had friends and neighbours trying her products and the business grew from there. And now, “to be distinguished with some amazing like-minded women in business who stay true to their values of family, business and success is an inspiration,” she says.

The finalists were also featured on the TODAY program, and here is a clip from the show.

Check out the eco-fabulous Little Innoscents range of 100% certified organic skincare that is made in Australia and we are proud to carry at Itty Bitty Greenie. The hair & body wash is my favourite!
