Inspired by their own children, Cheryl and her sister, Joan Ahlers, created Fresh Baby, www.freshbaby.com, in 2002. They wanted to offer all-natural food for kids of all ages and support parents in teaching them to make healthy food choices.

Since its inception, Fresh Baby was chosen as an Entrepreneur Magazine "Hot Company to Watch in 2004," won an iParenting award, was one of five finalists in the new product awards at the 2004 Natural Products Show, and has been featured in The Detroit Free Press, Fit Pregnancy, New Parent, Mothering, Organic Style, and more.

"When the Sloan brothers asked me to join the StartupNation community, I jumped at the chance," states Tallman. "Being an entrepreneur is challenging, so is being a parent, and I love being both! I'm looking forward to building relationships with people looking to exchange ideas that accelerate their business, and sharing secrets to enjoying, and juggling, family and business."

"According to the Center for Women's Business Research, women-owned businesses have grown at twice the rate of other businesses over the last two decades and are expected to generate more than $1 trillion in revenues,"
states Jeff Sloan, StartupNation Co-founder. "With our new blog from successful mompreneur Cheryl Tallman, this growing group of entrepreneurs can access the inside information, advice and sounding board they need to succeed."
