NORTHWEST ENTERPRISING MOMS JOINS FORCES WITH CANADA'S ENTERPRISING MOMS NETWORK TO HELP MOTHERS WITH ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT


SEATTLE - Every mother knows how important it is to find partners in her parenting journey. Whether it's a spouse, sister or friend, that network of support is vital.

And that network is equally important for moms who have taken a step outside of parenthood to become entrepreneurs - whether it's starting a business that makes millions of dollars, or a one-woman show run from the kitchen table.

Seattle-based Northwest Enterprising Moms is proud to announce it is joining forces with Canada's Enterprising Moms Network. The two will become sister organizations - crossing the borders to bring likeminded entrepreneurial moms together to help each other find the balance between motherhood and business ownership.

"Northwest Enterprising Moms is excited to bring together two like-minded communities of woman and mothers to share their common interest of being a mamapreneur across the U.S. and Canadian international border!"

Members of Northwest Enterprising Moms include successful mamapreneurs such as Nicole Donnelly, creator of BabyLegs, the must-have fashionable arm and leg warmers for baby girls and boys; and Heather Correa, founder of the stylish yet water-resistant all weather WooBee blankets.

They will now network with British Columbia mother entrepreneurs such as Sandra Wilson, who created the extremely popular soft-soled Robeez shoes for toddlers; and Nicole Garza, who created her own easily cleanable leather bibs, Mally Bibs.

Mothers representing more than 300 mom-owned businesses will be able to network across borders. Members of the two organizations will communicate through online forums and attend special events and meetings held on both sides of the border. This new collaboration will also benefit those members who are trying to break in to another country with their product or service.

Kelly Sharples launched Northwest Enterprising Moms in Seattle in February 2006 when she brought together local mom entrepreneurs together for a Mother's Day event. Kelley Scarsbrook launched Enterprising Moms Network in October 2007 in White Rock, BC.
