An Ode to Mom (FM)

For Mother's Day I wanted to do an Ode to Mom and who better to help me but Ellie and Melissa from The Baby Planners -- my Baby Product Experts. Through their travels they meet more and more women who have become moms and then saw a need that was not being met and decided to fill it themselves.

On this show we start out by talking about "Moms Who Have Made It" by turning motherhood into a business through websites and baby products. Two regular contributors on my show fall into this category -- Dr. JJ Levenstein, a pediatrician who collaborated with another pediatrician mom to create Baby Silk, a line of products for babies. And Mindee Dooney and Julie Pickens who created Boogie Wipes, when they were constantly chasing after their children's runny noses.

Ellie and Melissa discuss many great websites:
www.TheWellMom.com
www.TheCradle.com
www.HotMomsClub.com

And several wonderful products:
Emily Green
Mountain Blue Eyes
Rain or Shine Kids
Woobies

Then later in the show Lu Hanessien, author of the book "Let the Baby Drive" discusses how moms should Trust Their Gut and Follow Their Instinct, and learn to block the outside world's input, because no one knows your child better than you do!

So to all the Mothers out there, I hope you enjoy the day dedicated to all that you do for your family!

Happy Mother's Day
