How do you run a successful handmade shop while homeschooling two kids? In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Carney, the creative force behind Blue Tomato Handmade.

Sarah shares the reality of being a stay-at-home mom who balances lesson plans with product launches. From adorable felt play food to polymer clay stitch markers, we discuss how to fit creativity into the margins of motherhood.

In this episode, we share:

• The Homeschool Juggle: Practical tips for managing a business with children at home 24/7.

• Diverse Income Streams: Expanding from felt toys to sweater clips and stitch markers.
