Its no joke that Collin County is busting at the seams with NEW families, NEW businesses and lots of NEW opportunity . . . and of course these new residents just moving in are hoping to find answers to their problems. And whats even better, is when they can find those solutions with local businesses. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I selected a handful (or 2, ok, maybe a lot more)  of our Collin County Moms who were not only juggling family but took the plunge and started their own business. I’m talking, these ladies started from SCRATCH, not buying a kit . . they perhaps quit their jobs, have had sleepless nights, maybe they even took out a business loan and went for it.  Massive risk takers here!! Woohoo!! Go Moms! Running a business, when you are fully committed to it, is a roller coaster ride. It can be super challenging and super rewarding when you start something from scratch which is what I did with this blog and Becca’s List 

or starting my own Facebook Ads Agency serving both local clients and global clients. Being a woman, I feel like I personally have this layer of emotion on top of that. I can go from tears streaming down my face to jumping for joy. I’m only speaking about me of course, I’m sure no other woman has ever felt this way  😉  From the outside, my friends and extended family only seem to see the happy moments and never know some of the punches to the stomach I have taken.  Not that anyone is punching me, its just that everything feels a little more exaggerated when all the weight is on your shoulders.  If you’re reading this and you’ve ever started your own thing, you might know what I mean. So let’s get back to these Moms on this list,  not only do they have to know their product, be skilled in their craft, they also have to be Marketing, Sales, the Accounting department, the Innovation Officer, the Account Manager and on and on. They have to sell for their lives/livelihood and hear countless NO’s and hopefully more enthusiastic YES’s that makes them want to jump for joy.  Its a roller coaster ride.  Its UP (new clients) and its DOWN (no vacation time, keeping the lights on during slow times) . . its enough to give you sleepless nights but of course the one thing you need more than ever is sleep. I encourage you to grab a cup of tea, sit back and read about these Mom-Owned Business in Collin County. They have taken risks and put their heart and soul into the world. And like they say, when you support a small business, you are directly supporting food on the table, ballet classes for little ones, and keeping the roof over their head. When you support them, it is a direct hit to their bottom line. Take a peek then pass this on to one of your friends in North Texas who could use one of these services  =)   Here we go . . .

They even get a sneak peek at their little one in 3D/4D at their first visit! We get to introduce families to their babies and create a wonderful parental bonding experience that they will always remember. Our 3D/4D packages start at 28-32 weeks and we get to tell parents whose nose they have, or if they have a cleft chin like daddy! It’s so surreal and there are often many tears of joy. I have been a diagnostic medical sonographer for 18 years and I can honestly say that I love what I do. My goal is to give my clients memories to treasure forever and I now have over 90 5 star reviews on google, over 30 5 stars on Yelp, and over 200 5 stars on Facebook!

#33 Cross Creek Roofing

When talking roofing, this is the girl you will feel comfortable having in your house.

I love this woman-owned, MOM-owned roofing company that my husband and I actually used ourselves. We were originally working with a fast-talking roofer until I turned to Michelle from Cross Creek Roofing and was slowly and expertly guided every step of the way. Every single part of the process, no matter how minute was important to her – she wanted me to be informed about process, colors, options. She was sweet, patient, did amazing work and the extra bonus . . . I could afford it all! I am definitely giving her my next home project =)

#36 Sweets on a stick

4 years ago I discovered the wonders of cake balls and cake pops.  I then tried to make them on my own and somehow had enough ingredients to make 200. Unfortunately, I am not a good baker so these came out nothing like the experts make.  I now pay people to make me cake balls.  Don’t be like me and have 200 bad balls lying around your kitchen counter. Go to the experts (always!)

Sweets on a stick is a custom small treat bakery. We specialize in decorated cookies and cake pops as well as other small treats. Coming soon we will also offer byob decorating events similar to those painting party places- but your final product is edible. Yum!
