Blending Business And Baby

ABC News:

Reese Li was an officer in the U.S. Army. She commanded a platoon of 40 soldiers, until her son Andrew was a year old.

Li said that year that she spent trying to balance work with motherhood was terrible. “It was physically demanding, it was emotionally straining and I don’t miss it.”

But she said she did miss one thing: the money. So she bought a sewing machine, made some baby blankets and diaper bags, and when she saw how well they sold on eBay, a business was born.

She wears every hat at her company: chief operating officer, chief executive officer and chief designer.

“People call and say can they speak to someone in accounts payable and I say, ‘Hold on, hello, can I help you?’” Li said.
