It goes without saying that a newly-born demands a lot of money. However most of the stuff we invested in  will be used for a very short period of time. Babies do grow very fast. It’s a waste not to use those things furthermore or to buy new stuff all the time. Babies outgrow clothes within a month max, a baby phone won’t be needed forever and then all the books and age-appropriate educational toys...

In fact, how well do we know, what the closets, attics and basements of the members of the parents‘ forums and communities have to offer? Wouldn‘t it be nice if there were kind of an online storage, where one could offer toys and clothes one’s kids have outgrown, so that others could borrow or share and at the same time see what others have to offer.

I even tried to find any already existing solutions. But this way I have only encountered a range of online flea markets.Therefore I decided to turn to my geek friends with this idea. Together we have created USARIUM, a smartphone app for Android & iOS,  which allows you to: 1. Create a group of trusted friends and share only with them. 2. Identify who is contacting you through a six hand graph (apparently we are connected to anyone on Earth through just six people). By analyzing your phone book, USARIUM helps you to see which circle of friends this person belongs to.

Understanding who is in front of you - a friend, a friend of a friend or an acquaintance of a friend - an owner of an item can make a deliberate decision. And what‘s more - everything‘s accounted. USARIUM remembers whom, when and under which conditions the item has been rented out to and reminds the counterpart about it. Add what you have, see what others have to offer. USE, don‘t buy!  Visit Usarium for more information: www.usarium.com 

how do you start a business from home? i am due a baby in a few weeks and am a single mum of 3 already and want to work, but dont want to leave my baby, thanks   

I have been thinking of running our own cafe for as long as I can remember. An opportunity has come up for us to actually follow through with this. I'm looking for anyone with experience in this sort of venture to hit me with the realities of doing this. Are we crazy for thinking we could make a go if this? Or is it a worthwhile endeavour? I'd really appreciate your input!

My 16mth old bites everything and everyone. I know he understands the word "no" as he stops what's he's doing in other situations when we say it. But not with biting...he looks at you, smiles, and chomps! Please help!
