Home Based Business?
Do you have a Home Based Business that you would like to publicize? I would love to add your business name, your name, and contact information to our Home Based Business section. Just send me an email with the pertinent information to 22d.oss@gmail.com and I will get you listed. I would prefer that people seek you out instead of you soliciting at our Spouses Group events and hoped that this would be a good way to market your services to our Spouses.
