And then I figured, well while I was taking pictures of today's stash, I should run downstairs and take a picture of all of the baby food I had made. But as I started setting up to do that, I realized I felt like I was doing a fast product shoot. Product shoot led me to wondering if there was any sort of business model I was stumbling on. Even before I lost my job, I had been into the opportunity cost of my time. Was it worth my time to do X when I could pay someone else to do it much faster? For example, we now have people that mow our lawn, and a woman who cleans our house - why? Because I'd rather spend my time with my daughter, cooking, or doing a million other things. I don't enjoy cleaning and my husband doesn't enjoy mowing the lawn. Both things take time away from us as a family, so why not just have someone else do them?
Well, onto the business model... Making all of this food didn't really take me long, but I enjoy cooking. For working families who want to give their babies fresh home made food, what is their time worth to them? So it got me wondering... is there a business here? Hmm... I guess its time to do the math and some research to see if I have an option if finding a job takes too long... :-D
It got me thinking about the form I could set up - stage of baby food needed (1,2,3), delivery size (1oz cubes or 4oz baggies), and of course the fun part - choosing the ingredients, mixes, etc! And hmm, do I deliver like peapod? or have people stop by my house?? Hmmmmmm.....
