My Top 3 Tips to Be A Successful MOMpreneur if you want to work from home

This photo is how long I have been in the Mompreneur business! In mom terms, FocusOnStyle has been online from onesies to 6'4"!  Just think that when the docs said that my newborn son was in the 95th percentile for height, we didn't believe them.

I'm just starting to toy with Periscope (tips to follow me at the end), and although this replay is not looking as profesh as I would like, it does have the raw authentic realness that livestreaming

Our latest reader question comes from a young mother of two who wants to know how to boost self-confidence + style… something, we all deal with. We've gone over similar territory before, but we know everyone needs a refresher or a nudge every so often. Let's dive in and help add some shine to her life and yours and harness her Mommy Chic  fashion potential.  I'm a 29 year-old stay-at-home mother of two. I have recently started struggling with my lack of fashion. I have a lot of clothes in my closet, but I really only wear a couple of things that I like. Most days I just wear jeans (that probably don't flatter me at all) and t-shirts that are stained and worn out. I
