Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
I started my business approximately 9 years ago when our son was first born. It was so difficult working out of the home. I would leave each time with tears in my eyes. That is when I came up with the idea for Mommas Baby.

I started my company with the idea of helping other moms find natural baby products for their little ones. At that time, there was not much available for them. I wanted to provide the best products available that I used myself. I also researched cloth diapering and wanted to help moms as much as possible also get started cloth diapering. I was very concerned about what I had read in regards to babies health.

I named the company Mommas Baby because they called my baby a "mommas baby". He just loved being with me and I hated being without him. He was my "original" Mommas Baby and now I have four wonderful blessings!


Since that time, I've spoken and helped moms all over the world with cloth diapering and natural baby care. I've even had the wonderful opportunity to be interviewed in books and magazines. It's been so rewarding and I've made so many friends all over the world. Not only am I doing something I love by helping moms/babies, but as a mother of four children, I have the opportunity to stay home with them and home school them as well.

Here you can see a picture of my children that are such a blessing to me:

On this page you can also see a picture of my youngest one and myself. :-)

I would also love to adopt children and give them a loving home. I've even started a small fund for children in need of homes. I also like to give to other organizations for children.

Providing customers with the very best customer service and highest quality products is my goal in my business. I speak to customers all times of the day - including weekends and later in the evenings. Some just call for advice and I love to help them. I find it so much fun!

This Spring I am launching my new line called Purely Natural Baby where I manufacture my own bedding line. Everything is made in the USA and the highest quality possible. I found that many companies were misleading their customers in what they sold and I wanted to provide the purest possible products available for them. I want my customers to know that what they purchase is the best possible product for their baby. I currently have some products available for purchase on my web site and customers love the moses basket line. I receive so many wonderful testimonials weekly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my company and why I should be considered. I hope you will keep me in mind when voting for the leading mom in business competition. I really am so blessed to be able to do what I do.
