Can a Mom of 3 Build a Book Business From Home? | Blind Date With a Book

Shop The Piona: thepiona.com I’m a mom of three starting a book business from home. The Piona is my small Blind Date With a Book shop, and this is the honest beginning — before the big sales, perfect systems, or success story. I have always loved books, but for me, reading is about more than finishing a story. It is the quiet atmosphere, the sound of turning pages, and the chance to disappear into another world for a little while. That feeling inspired me to create The Piona: a bookish small business built around surprise books, thoughtful details, and cozy reading rituals. In this video, I share why I chose this business while creating a purple Blind Date With a Book package from beginning to end. You’ll see me select a brand-new surprise book, prepare the clues, wrap it, add bookmarks and other bookish accessories, and prepare the finished package for shipping. The color of the package and the book genre are chosen separately, while the title remains a surprise. My shop is still at the very beginning. I’m building it from home while raising three children, learning as I go, changing what doesn’t work, and giving this idea a real chance. I want to document the complete journey — not only the beautiful finished packages, but also the uncertainty, mistakes, experiments, and small victories that come before success.
