It might not be cupcake related, but just like the trend earlier this year, Laura Floyd hopes to strike out on her own and help local moms with their party planning.
2012 has been a year of entrepreneurship in Westford, and now another Westford mom is looking to start her own business focused on planning parties for children. Laura Floyd Events, which opened this month, is the brain child of Westford mom Laura Floyd. After leaving the Wellington Management Group in 2004 to start a family, Floyd began to throw parties for her three girls and their friends. After awhile, her parties began to gain the attention of fellow parents, enough so that it seemed like a good idea for a business. “I saw so many parents working flat out during the week to make a great life for their kids.

According to recently released data from the Warren Group, it appears that Massachusetts may be sliding from its recent trend of fewer foreclosures, but Westford's foreclosure rate is continuing to drop. The report announced that foreclosure petitions increased 5.9 percent comparing the months of October 2011 and 2010, the first time foreclosure petitions increased in the Commonwealth since August 2010.
