We’re talking about “Raising a Baby on a Budget” this week for Work at Home Mom Wednesday (#WAHMW). In today’s economy, everyone is cutting costs and let’s face it – having a baby is expensive! Join us as we talk with 2 work at home moms who run successful baby and cloth diaper boutiques to get some great tips and advice for saving money on baby products and raising a baby on a budget.

Each week as part of Work at Home Mom Wednesday, we will feature 2-3 work at home mom businesses and some great giveaways for twitter party guests. Sponsorship of #WAHMW is free to work at home moms. The only cost to participate is the donation of at least 2 giveaway prizes for party guests.

How to Use Tweet Grid for Twitter Parties

Tweet Grid is a great service that allows you to easily follow posts as part of a Twitter party. Tweet Grid is free to use. All you need is a Twitter account.

A few minutes before the party, go to Tweetgrid.com. You can use whatever setup you’d like for the party but I’d recommend the 1×3.

In the first column, enter “#WAHMW” so that you can see all the party posts.

In the second column, enter  @BusyMommyMedia and @powerwomenmag so you can follow the party hosts.

In the third column, enter your Twitter id so you can see what people are saying to you.

If you have any problems using the Tweet Grid, send a message to @BusyMommyMedia or email Rachel.
