New to area needs Doctors, dentist, vet and hair stylist (!)

We will be moving to Morrisville in the next few months and I need Doctors for the whole family, dentists, a vet (and a hairstylist :). If anyone has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

My biggest concern is having a pediatrician lined up for when we arrive, but I am also considering a family doctor for all of us (haven't decided which way to go yet).

 Thanks in advance!

Triangle Green Cleaning

When I had my daughter I decided to hire a maid service. There just wasn't enough time in the day. Green cleaning was an obvious must as I didn't want my baby being exposed to any noxious fumes or toxic chemicals. Triangle Green Cleaning has been cleaning our house for almost 2 years now. Having a maid service clean twice a month takes a HUGE load off my chest. Here is their website http://www.trianglegreencleaning.com Amy M. 

Hi

Hi i just wanted to say again how awesome this daycare is.  It is called Imagine Nation Learning Center and it is in Mansfield Texas.  I think they also have one in Arlington Texas but I go to the one in Mansfield.  They are the sweetest there.  My children love it.

Calling all mompreneurs

We're suspending our usual rules on business-related postings this one time on this one forum. If you're wondering what those rules are, read here.

I've written a story which will run in The N&O's Work & Money section on Sunday featuring four local moms who are all entrepreneurs. They include a couple of moms who you've read about here - Molly and Aimee. In my reporting, I learned that moms are the fastest growing subset of entrepreneurs right now.

So if you've launched your own business, created a product, want to start a business but aren't sure how, please share your story in the comments section below. Also check out Alice Osborn's blog on Mom2Mom. She's been sharing some fabulous tips on networking and business development for moms.

It was very inspiring to talk to the moms featured in the story. Please share your stories!

I have two kids and one on the way. I want to stay at home with my babies so bad but our household income won't allow it at this point. Has anyone else been through this? Do you know of any business ideas I could do from home?

Financial Literacy for Youth Month

Are you helping your kids manage their personal financial life?

April is Financial Literacy for Youth Month in April. And Gov. Bev Perdue is encouraging all of us to do just that.

Mary Cornatzer, a business editor here at The N&O and mom, has a few tips on how to encourage good financial habits. (And she'd love to hear from you about how you are helping your kids. Just e-mail her.) 

My daughter is four, a little young for an allowance or something like that. But we still talk about how we can't get everything we want. And she loves playing with her cash register where she's learning to count money, etc.
