We recently took some time to review a cluth ball created by Jill, owner of Crafty Baby. Jill is one of our Mommy Perks Partners (advertisers) and can be found in Online Perks in the Handcrafted in the USA and Children’s Clothing and Accessories categories. Jill sent me an adorable soft clutch ball for my daughter to review - with little yellow and white bunnies. My daughter’s face lit up when I gave her the gift and she yelled, “Ball!” and immediately began to throw the ball, enjoying the little bell that jingled inside while we played.

Jill offers numerous fabric colors and themes to select from.

I think my daughter would have loved any of them, including the brightly colored zoo animals (she loves to make animal noises right now) or the fun train shapes that jump from the fabric. Whatever you choose, your child will love this ball, it’s handcrafted beauty and the simplicity of toys that mean so much more than any television program can offer.

Don’t worry about getting hit with this ball either - my daughter has a mean toss and not once did her throw pack a punch Soft and gentle…just right for a near-toddler with lots of energy!

1. What is your business? 

Hand-crafted children’s accessories;  “Fun and Functional Creations for Children”

3. What is your favorite aspect of the business? 

Knowing that I am putting quality products into the children’s market and seeing the smiles that my products create in the children (and parents) that use them.

4. What do you enjoy most about CT? 

Being close by to friends and family; the changing seasons;  having so many things to do with my family in the surrounding areas.

We recently had the priviledge of reviewing products from East West Essentials (as seen on EXTRA TV!). They kindly sent me two pregnancy wellness kits - one for myself (knowing that I am pregnant) and one to give away! Each kit is valued at $90. They also sent me a box of their  protein bars. My husband tried one and loved it - he’s a big chocolate lover. I tried one and also loved it - and I am not typically a big fan of protein bars. Even my picky son tried one…and another…and another…(no, not all on the same day). He LOVED them and even replaced one for his desert the other night - wow!

Check out these products and more at East West Essentials and don’t forget to enter for the Wellness Kit if you are pregnant or trying. Just send an email to mainoffice@mommyperks.com using the subject line: East West Wellness Kit Contest. One winner will be chosen and notified by email in about one week.

We chose to create this business out of clinical need. We have East West Conception Centers in Beverly Hills, Burbank, Calabasas,and Valencia, CA. Our patients needed high quality for Fertility that would provide repeated clinical results.

I created East West Conception Center, (my practice) and shortly after, my three daughters left their corporate and clinical settings to join forces to create East West Essentials Optimal Fertility Supplements. Our goal has been to provide our patients and customers with the highest quality Fertility and Prenatal supplements that would support their success. We feel so fortunate to share the vital role of helping our patients build their families. I just don’t know that there is any better work than to help women become mothers and to nourish and support families…all with my three daughters.

Boca Beth is an Award winning Spanish and English Language Program for children ages birth and up (as seen on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch):

Research shows bilingual children read sooner, score higher on standardized tests, experience advanced mental development and have better opportunities in life. The Boca Beth program is one of the best programs I have seen! It was upbeat, it held my children’s attention and I was very impressed by their methods. No second language experience is required. The cd features songs such as Hola amigo, Me gusta contar, and Tengo hambre. Visit them today at www.bocabeth.com.

Michelle over at Luna Belle Boutique really out does herself with her products right down to the package they come in.
