Respecting other WAHM's

HI everyone,

I wasn't sure if i was going to write this or not.
I didnt know the "classy" "professional" way to go about this.

So I hope that everyone can understand where I am coming from. As a woman. As a mother. As a business owner.

The WAHM industry is growing so fast, and its so wonderful to see so many woman having the opportunity to stay at home and work. Whether its sharing a creativity that they posses or continuing on in their pre-baby field of work - but at home.

I think in the WAHM community there should be (and in some aspects is) a very wonderful common respect of each others work.

Its so lovely to see so many woman supporting each others craft.

Many WAHM's invest a huge amount of money into their business and huge amounts of time. I know i have not seen my children very much in the last month. My partner comes home we eat together and I am then in my office for the rest of the night sometimes until 2am completing orders and bringing my customers the products they love. I do this because I enjoy what I have created and I enjoy being able to have an income and stay at home during the day to parent my children.

I think I want to put this out there because I have had a bit of a run of the "copy cat" syndrome. There have been a couple of instances in the last month or so. (I will not openly speak poorly of the situation). But I think this post is asking for respect of my ideas/designs/craft. Please remember if you ever want to create a replica of a product that is quite original and innovative there is probably a woman on the other side that as worked really hard to bring her idea/passion to life.

Just some food for thought

Who is going to be the lucky referer??

Facebook is my #1 site for advertising my product. I do not promote anywhere else (except one online community)

So your referals to the page mean HEAPS to me and Mumma Rocks.

It used to be my goal to get to 100 and that was surpassed YAY!

It is now my personal goal to get to 1000! and Mumma Rocks is oh so close but we need existing "Likes" help.

And you know me, no help goes unrewarded. If you are the existing "Like" to introduce the 1000th "Liker" then you will win a free custom Nursing necklace (to the value of $32.00) includign regular postage.

So refer your friends, have them post on the wall who sent you and receive the ultimate nursing necklace of your choice!

Customs with Mumma Rocks.

I LOVE being able to offer custom Jewellery to my customers. For a few reasons:

1) You the customer get what YOU want. It is suited to your needs your style and any healing you may need from stones.

2) I enjoy the friendly emails back and forth. I enjoy hearing how excited you are about your special piece.

I have had an overwhelming response to custom purchases. They have kept me uber busy.
It doesn't really leave me much time to add to the "Mumma Rocks" collection. I am not complaining. I love my job and I love meeting your needs!

But what I will be doing is opening up 8 x custom slots per month.

They will be purchasable on the website www.mummarocks.com. The price it will be listed at is a deposit to hold the spot. It will be only a small deposit. Probably around the $5.00 mark.
Then the balance once beads and design has been decided.

Please note:::: Small changes to colouring of stock necklaces are NOT a custom. You are able to do that at any time.

Custom to Mumma Rocks is a whole new necklace and whole new design from start to finish. So little changes are able to be made when ever you wish xo

Any questions comment below and I'll help where i can xox

Updates Via blogger!

Hello all you lovely Mumma Rocks subscribers!

I will now be doing my main updates via this blog.
All sales and promotions will still be carried out via facebook but little updates with new stock and custom pictures will be here!

Its easier to run comps via blogs rather then face book due to current rules and regulations.
But to win anything or be included in the discounts/specials that will be listed here you will need to be a "Mumma Rocks Follower"

Im new at blogging, so hope you will all join in and have fun too!

I have a new fresh item in the works today.. Ive been thinking about it for a while, I have been asked to do it for a while.... and now its coming.

I believe in low cost products - but high quality of course! So this, like my other items will be affordable to almost every mum!

Can anyone guess?

Hello and welcome!!

I have set up a little blog to help my wonderful customers keep up to date with all my new stock for customs :)

I founded Mumma Rocks as my beautiful breast fed baby would constantly pinch and pull when he was nursing. I also had a desire to build my own business and I wanted to remain at home with my 2 young children. I love being a WAHM (work at home mum) I enjoy the ability to bead while nurturing 2 little lives.

All my Baby Safe Bling is strung using quality materials. All my gemstones that I purchase are from a reputable Gemologist located locally on the gold coast.

I am able to keep my prices reasonable and affordable as I have the ability to purchase at wholesale locally. So I am not having to pay therefor relay the expensive shipping fees.

I always aim to keep my prices low, I would love for all mothers to be able to afford a little treat for themselves. If you would like something, but do have prior commitments I do accept Lay by or payment plans.

Each baby safe necklace comes with the wonderful safety clasp. To ensure that your loved ones do not break your bling.

Mumma Rocks are an amazing Breast feeding or bottle feeding tool. To help engage a distracted baby centering their attention to the beautiful beads placed within their eyesight.
I have lovingly designed each piece to be beautiful for the goddess to wear yet stimulating to use as nursing beads. So 2 items in 1!!

The full range of baby friendly Jewellery and some special pieces just for mumma can be found at my online store:
