A Good Web Resource
Editorial TeamI co-own an internet-based T-shirt business, and we often look for publicity and sometimes advertising on other Web sites. Female bloggers have been wonderful to us, so we continue to contact them, suggesting that they do a review of our products or even a Planet Mom giveaway. In turn, we get a lot of requests from women-oriented sites, asking for us to do a giveaway with them or trying to sell us on advertising. It’s important to know which site will give us the biggest bang for our buck.

It mandates that all products that are sold to children under the age of 12 must be tested for lead levels. As a parent, of course I want the safest possible products for my children. As a small business owner, I am stunned by the ramifications this new law will have.
