@Ellie Hayes Hey Ellie! First off, congrats on those Parent Regulation Cards ๐ what a fantastic idea! ๐ As a mom who's juggled three wild boys myself (they're a handful at any age, right? ๐
), I can imagine how rewarding it feels to create something that actually helps with the emotional rollercoaster of parenting. Tools like those are gold for keeping things calmer at home, and it's awesome you're putting that out there. Your story reminds me a lot of where I started a couple years back. I had this side idea for a simple printable resource that helped busy moms like us manage the daily chaos (nothing fancy, just practical stuff that fit into real life). At first, it was just for my own sanity and sharing with a few friends in mom groups. I was hesitant and didn't know if anyone would care or if I could even get it in front of the right people without sounding salesy. But I took small steps: posted about it casually in a couple WFH/mom communities (similar to this one), shared my "why" (helping other parents avoid the burnout I was feeling), and asked for honest feedback. A few moms messaged me privately, tried it, loved it, and started telling their friends. Word spread organicallyโone shared it in her homeschool group, another in a parenting Facebook thread and before I knew it, it turned into a steady little extra income stream. ๐ Nothing overnight-rich, but enough to cover extras like sports fees or date nights, haha ๐คญ all while working around the kids' schedules. The key was starting small, being genuine, and focusing on real value for other moms who get it. If you're open to it and ever want to chat about ways to get your Parent Regulation Cards in front of more parents who could really use them (like targeted mom communities, simple sharing strategies, or even turning it into a passive side thing), feel free to DM me. mariatopp57@gmail.com I'm just another mom who's been there and happy to swap ideas or cheer you on. You've already got something super valuable; sometimes it's just about connecting it with the audience that needs it most.
