Mom 4 Life Seeks To WOW The Ellen Degeneres Show

By startupprincess | Published April 23, 2007

the-drop-off.jpgFairy Godmother Heather Ledeboer brought a stunning gift basket overflowing with amazing gifts created by women entrepreneurs to Ellen producers for consideration for a show gift for pregnant mom guests.

Heather writes about how this opportunity happened: The owner of 2 Virtues (whose product is on Mom4Life , Heather Allard emailed me and said “Hey Heather, Ellen is going to have a show for pregnant moms! If you contact them and can offer a product for the audience I will be a part of it!” I am working with Orca and contacted my rep about the opportunity. She contacted the Ellen Show’s producers and arranged for me to submit a gift basket. I contacted the companies on my site to see who wanted to be a part of it and if we were chosen, they would donate 300 products and I had over 30 companies reply and a gift basket valued at over $1,060 in just two days! Wow! Now I wait to hear if they want Mom 4 Life gift baskets for all the attendees of the show.

Here is a list of what was included in the gift basket featuring many women entrepreneurs that have products sold on Mom 4 Life! There’s some fabulous products here you can put on your wish list for Mother’s Day!!

Get Some Sleep, Baby
Swaddleaze by 2 Virtues makes swaddling simple, snappy and safe in the plushest, softest fabric we’ve ever felt. Babies that are swaddled sleep better, which means you sleep better! Swaddleaze can also be used as a cozy sleep sack when your sweet dreamer outgrows swaddling. Hit the Snooze Button when you add the WubbaNub Plush Toy Pacifier to baby’s nighttime routine. And don’t fret if that adorable pacifier gets lost in the dark. Just click on the Babeebrite Hands Free Mobile Light Source by MommyBeeHappy for just the right amount of light to scour the nursery floor.

Feed Me!
Whether you decide that breast is best or the bottle is the bomb, feeding will be a breeze with the Breastfeeding Comprehensive DVD by Mother of 7, Bravado Essential Nursing Bra Tank Top,, Kipiis Bib Clip, and Happi Tummy Colic Relief Waistband.

Fit + Giggles=No More Jiggles
You’ll be fit and firm in no time with the Fit + Giggles Postnatal Fitness DVD. Created by a physical therapist, the moves target the muscles and joints most used by new Moms to help rid themselves of “new Mommy” pains and repetitive use injuries. Each Fit+Giggles exercise is designed for Mom to do with baby so both benefit from the increased bonding time.

Ay caramba, Mamasita!
Just because you’re pregnant or just had a baby doesn’t mean you can’t be hot too! You’ll be one hot (and comfy!) mama in the Longpants by Nest by Swanky, TwoMoms Maternity Wear, Binsi Labor and Birth Apparel, Prenatal Cradle MiniCradle Support, Eve Alexander Maternity Panties, Maternity Tee by Georgie Tees, Due and Sprout Maternity Tanks and Tummy Ts Tank Top.

    That’s wonderful! I wish I could be in the audience! Congratulations on this amazing opportunity, Heather, you deserve it! :)

    they didn’t get the opportunity…turns out bigger isn’t always better, but at least they tried! :)

    Hard to believe Heather and “Mom 4 Life” weren’t featured on the Ellen Degenerous show. If she couldn’t make it onto the show for that particular topic of pregnant women, who could have? It is a wonder how anyone gets onto any of those shows, I guess. Maybe all she needed was some secret shadey past :) .

    Deborah, I don’t think they were trying to be a guest, rather to give the audience their gifts…;) Still strange that they didn’t want all of those gift baskets, huh!? We’d all love them!

Got something to say?
