Contestant's Case to Win

My name is Heather Akers I have a degree in graphic design and I worked for advertising agency's and newspapers for 12 years before becoming a stay at home mom.

When my son turned 3 I found out he had autism and I wanted to figure out a way to leave the corporate world and earn money working from home so I would have the ability to be there for my son.

I decided I would find a way to use my creative ability to start an at home business. I named my store Creative Kiddo's after my two children who also inherited the creative gene. I sell hair accessories, boutique, beanie hat, Etsy banners, bottle cap images, custom graphics and hair bow makers supplies.

With the ever rising cost in day care expenses, it is now more affordable for me to stay home, have control over my own business, and still have time with my family. Please visit my website to view my products at www.creativekiddos.com
