Bold Mom Rebecca of SmartSeat
Bold Mom Rebecca Rabson of SmartSeat Chair Protectors (pb&j Discoveries, LLC) has two very energetic, adorable, and messy boys! She saw a need for “simple solutions to everyday problems that are safe, affordable and reusable” so she created a dining chair cover. It is soft-to-the-touch, yet waterproof, stain resistant, washable and toxin-free (which is always nice). I was instantly interested as my current chair cover situation was begging for improvement. I had been using one of those clear vinyl covers that ties on over the chair. But I never trusted it so I’d combine it with a dishtowel and a micro-suede chair cover. All of which were constantly coming off when Zach sat, knelt, stood, and squirmed during meals and craft time. Becky sent me a SmartSeat cover last week and I couldn’t be more pleased. Not only does it look a hundred times better than the other “protection”, but it hasn’t budged in over a week! Thank you so much for sending this, Becky! Needless to say, this mom-inventor is super busy developing and promoting her products yet she still places family time as number one. I’ve asked Becky to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.
Enjoy!
Bold Mom: Kim of Pretty Keepsakes
Bold Mom Kim Roberts of Pretty Keepsakes gets to escape into a world of fairies, princesses and all things girly—and get’s paid for it! She started out crafting keepsakes (too good to be called “favors”) for her daughter’s parties and the hobby turned *poof* into a career! Her creations are sought out by birthday-planning mommies, brides who want something special for their flower girls, and any gift-giver who has a girly-girl to please. Cue the sparkles! I’ve asked Kim to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.

They’ve been featured on many blogs and websites and this past November were featured on HGTV! Congratulations, ladies! I’ve asked Amanda to describe her experiences in being a bold mom, grandmother and business owner.

Bold Mom: Yudelca of Whitesuggar’s Creations
Bold Mom Yudelca of Whitesuggar’s Creations started making bows for her daughter just for fun. When she learned about Etsy, the place to buy and sell all things handmade, she decided to turn her hobby into a business. And it’s been nothing but sweet success! When she’s not making her cute creations, she’s busy doing her own marketing, blogging and is very active promoting her business on Facebook and Twitter. I’ve asked Yudelca to describe her experiences in being a bold mom and business owner.
