A Mompreneur is a mother who starts a business — pretty obvious. Ironically, if you search google blogs, you will find some women business owners and women entrepreneurs embracing the title — and some who are offended.

Yesterday, I woke up with a migraine. I admit that now.
But yesterday I was in denial. Oh, it’s just a headache, perhaps I needed more sleep (but I had 6 1/2 hours), or drink more water, or my blood sugar was low. I will just drink some water, take two Excedrin, and plow [...]

On spec, I bought Gracie a potty last Thursday. She’s only 16 1/2 months old, so a bit early for the current theory of potty training. For the last few months, she has been announcing when she needs her diaper changed about 1/2 the time, and is very interested in the process of [...]
