Featured Mom Business: Serene

My name is Carol Leon, mother of 3 very active little girls. I developed a new product out of my own necessity. I strongly believe that there is an incredible need for this type of product in the market, and it caters towards a real issue that so many women face.

My product is called Serene: Individual Bed Sheet Protectors that are made for all of us women who, during our menstrual cycle experience heavy, irregular or unexpected periods and often worry about staining and damaging our bed sheets during the night.

Serene Protectors are ultra thin sheets that are very soft and absorbent made to protect your individual space.

They have a built-in waterproof barrier that can stop any type of leak.
They have adhesive strips that keeps them in place, giving you an added protection.
They are disposable, compact and discrete, so you can take them anywhere you go.
They are convenient and easy to use. Simply place one sheet on top of your linens and remove the adhesive strip cover and you will be all set.

By using Serene Protectors, you will prolong the life of their bed sheets and mattress by keeping them stain free. You will not have to waste money on expensive and harmful chemicals trying to remove those embarrassing stains. And because Serene Protectors are disposable, they give you the highest level of hygiene, preventing the chance of mold growth underneath the surface of any mattress.

Featured Mom Business: Headpets

Headpets are a fun and exciting Canadian made line of handmade children's animal hats which are taking the market by storm, and bringing smiles to children's faces in the process.

My vision was to create a fun and exciting line of handmade children’s animal hats, like no other hats available on the market. I wanted children to adore wearing my hats, like kids adore the 'stuffed animals' they carry around.

That meant that each of my hats had to have character and a personality of its own. All of these ideas formed the basis for the brand I created, called Headpets, and what a brand it is!! Just like us, none of the Headpets are perfect.

From bad medical conditions, to allergies and fears, all the hats have a unique personality of their own. They are also striving to achieve their dreams when they grow up.

Featured Mom Business: Spa "Jama" Parties

Jen — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:20:09 -0500

Our story began in the summer of 2006. A mother and 2 daughters had a dream to open a Day Spa. Spa by day, and a spa-labration by night, where groups could come and celebrate different occasions with friends and family while being pampered with spa services.

We began our year of training to obtain our certified status as estheticians and began the search for the perfect property and business plan. About three quarters through the training process both daughters announced their pregnancies!

I was shocked! They were sick – with morning sickness. The bubble had burst, all the dreams slowly dissolved as we tried planning a daily routine and a spa that might include day care.

We set the plan aside, finished our training, and both babies were born by the middle of 2007.
As we planned baby showers and wedding showers and bachelorette parties that summer we discovered how wonderful spa parties and these events went together in the comfort of our homes. A new vision was being birthed.

The plan was to incorporate an old time pajama party kind of atmosphere, inspired by celebrations and slumber parties of years gone by. We wanted to recreate a place where women could get together and receive professional spaaaaah services.

As we gave more thought to it, we decided we could do home spa parties – NO!!! Spa “Jama” Parties!
This gave us the opportunity to keep up our skills and give us a few nights out.

The phones started ringing and requests for larger parties were coming in steadily. We decided to hire extra girls and are happy to say that we are still on the go!

Being moms ourselves we know the benefits of being pampered and having time out; we want to offer that to all women.
