Kids, Cash and Chaos

Business and Balance for Busy Moms

About Me

Welcome to Kids, Cash and Chaos!

Emma Bates - Kids Cash and ChaosAre you struggling with how to start or run a small scale business while staying home with your kids?

That was me five years ago.

I had two small children and was in the midst of starting a gluten free and vegan granola company, completely by accident. I was going to just bake a few things each week for my Aunt and Uncle’s cafe but it quickly turned into a real business.

I didn’t know where to turn, whose advice to trust, how to grow my business while also being a good mother.

And there are no easy answers to those problems.

But now, you have me!

I will share with you all the things that I learned on my journey. Both my successes and my failures, cause I have had plenty of both!

Now, I am lucky enough to be mother to three awesome children, ages 8, 6 and 2.

I am still crazy enough to try and run an online business or two.  I have started five businesses in the last 10 years. Some of them were very successful, (I even sold one!) and others were total failures.

I currently work as a VA over at Emma Bates VAC, and run this blog.

I want to share what I have learned with you and show that you don’t need a MBA to be successful. In fact, I don’t even have a bachelor’s degree!

Instead, I am creative and driven to achieve my dreams.

Whether you are already staying home, dreaming of staying home, or not even a mother yet, I hope you will find some useful information in how to start the journey towards living the life you want.

I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to learn more about you and how I can be a helpful resource. Drop me a line at [email protected]
