Local Mom Spotlight - Check out Buti Bag!


Whether you're a new mom, or a seasoned expert mom, you need to check out local Charlotte mom, Nicole William's business, Buti Bag. She offers precious products for moms of all stages. From her website: Nicole Williams has a demanding life as an on-the-go mom which calls for an equally versatile bag for the job. She wanted a stylish toiletry bag that could not only handle her diapering essentials, but continue to be useful past toddler-hood. Unable to find the perfect bag, Nicole took matters into her own hands. Need a baby gift, or a bag or two to help organize the pool bag? Make it a Buti Bag!!
