With kids at school, Raleigh mom starts new business

When her youngest child went to kindergarten, Michelle Miller was faced with a decision.

Miller had been a stay-at-home mom to two kids in Raleigh  for more than seven years. She'd worked as an audiologist before she had children. And while she loved her old career, she knew it probably wouldn't give her the flexibility she wanted to volunteer in her kids' classrooms and be there at home when school got out.

But she knew she wanted to do something now that her kids were out of the home most of the day.

So she decided to try out a home business. Miller purchased Kids Decor Inc., a turnkey online business created by Pure E-Commerce, which is run by a Cary couple, who are parents themselves.

Kids Decor offers all kinds of decor for kids rooms from wall art to valances to rugs and a lot more.

In this video, Michelle talks about her decision and showcases some of the items that she sells. Thanks to Michelle for talking with me (and putting up with my infant, who you can hear cooing in the background).

I too was a stay at home mom who wanted to work from home. I purchased my website www.SomethingaboutStationery.com from Pure-Ecommerce.com just about 2 years ago and have been very pleased. It has been a great experience owning my own business and the knowledge I have gained through working with Pure-Ecommerce.com is unmatched! I wish you continued success Kids Decor Inc.!!
