SHOPPING: Occupation-Mom and Wife. Business Cards Needed

No, I am not the only mom out there that takes her job seriously. Part of that job is establishing contacts. Those contacts range from networking with other mothers on the best schools, potty training techniques, associates for your children to play with to enhance their ability to share and other such skills, and the list goes on. So with all this big business we conduct on a daily basis, why should we not have business cards? After all we are in the business of keeping a family. I think I will put an order of cards in the budget.

should leave a phone number in case of emergency. And, as always, she started
scrambling for pen and paper.
