We love local business at Boo magazine and we want to shout about our lovely local friends from the rooftops. Every month we will bring you a local mum, dad, grannie or granddad who has given up the 9-5 and chosen to go it alone. We ask them how the managed and ask for some tips. We hope you love them as much as we do...

This month we speak to Amanda at Baby Bumb Boutique read what she had to say here

Working at home can be lonely sometimes... then they invented Twitter. Now we spend our days chatting to our new Twitter friends, we ask advice, talk about our kids and we have a laugh.

Our Twitter friends are very helpful so we've decided to get them to recommend their top 10 familiy friendly activities.

This week we asked... What's your favourite thing to do on a rainy day?

We have a lot to say at the Boo offices sometimes serious sometimes not but we decided to share our thoughts on anything and everything with you on our brand new Blog - come back and read it and if you like it why don't you write something for us?
