Our featured entrepreneur is Cynthia Powell. Cynthia is a Christian, a wife, a mom to 3 boys and the owner of an at home business called Chicks & Cubs. Cynthia started Chicks & Cubs in 1999 because she wanted to be a Stay At Home Mom, but still have a work interest. Cynthia and her husband chose the name Chicks & Cubs because they love animals and they thought that chicks sounds girly and cubs sounds boyish. Isn’t the name adorable. Cynthia specializes in baby shoe bronzing and Patty Cakes. Are you wondering what Patty Cakes are? So was I. Well Patty-Cakes® are 3-dimensional molds made from an impression of the baby's hand and foot. The impression is bronzed and mounted for a hanging or table display. What a creative way to preserve memories. They also bronze pacifiers. I love this idea. I had my daughter’s christening shoes bronzed 29 years ago, and they’re still proudly displayed. The display also makes a great conversation piece.
Cynthia has another great product on her site, a Child’s Identification Bracelet. If you’re worried that you may get separated from your child when you’re shopping, at the park or a community festival, check out this bracelet. This bracelet has the information they need to get back to their parents safely. The information includes home and cell phone numbers for mommy, daddy, grandma, and granddaddy. These great bracelets come in either pink or blue.

A girl scout in Michigan has set a new record, she sold 17,328 boxes of their delicious cookies on a street corner. Her troop plans to travel to Europe with the proceeds. Troop 813 in Dearborn, Michigan raised approximately $21,000 for a 10 day trip.
This young lady worked every day to sell her share of the cookies. Her mother said, she shut down early one day because she wasn't feeling well. This is dedication. Although I did not purchase from Troop 813, I did purchase my share of girl scout cookies this year. I love the Peanut Butter Patties and I look forward to their arrival every year year!
The Thin Mints are the third best selling cookies in the country. It's amazing these delicious treats are still a hot item. Keep up the good work Girl Scouts of America. You will always have a buyer for your Peanut Butter Patties. Yum Yum!

A New York man is suing JetBlue Airways for more than $2 million. The New York man alleges that the pilot on the flight forced him to give up his seat to a flight attendant. The passenger was on a flight from New York to San Diego and flying on a buddy pass. A buddy pass is given to a friend by an employee who works for JetBlue. The passenger alleges the pilot told him "to go hang out" in the toilet. Can you image sitting on a toilet on a cross-country flight? Just using the lavatory on a flight can be a challenge. According to the law suit, the flight was full. The flight attendant complained the jump seat was uncomfortable, so the passenger was forced to give up his seat. I fly regularly, and I've never witnessed a flight attendant sitting anywhere except in a jump seat regardless of whether the flight was full or not.
After expressing his displeasure of having to sit in the lavatory, the pilot told him that he was in command of the flight and he was lucky to be on the plane. The passenger was not allowed to sit in the jump seat, only Jetblue employees are allowed to sit there. The flight encountered turbulence and passengers were told to return to their seats; however, this passenger had no seat to return to. I guess the pilot and his crew came to their senses, the passenger was finally allowed to return to his original seat.
If these allegations are true, I personally believe that pilot should not be allowed to fly another commerical flight again. Not only did he humiliate this passenger, he put him at risk. Nobody has that kind of authority or right, pilot or not.
I have flown Jetblue to the west coast on numerous occasions, and personally liked the airline. I was impressed with their service and the nice, roomy leather seats for the price. I've been on line checking their prices for a flight to Las Vegas in the coming weeks. I'm leary now! If I get up enough nerve and book a flight at a reasonable price, I'll post my assessment of their service. Pray that I don't end up in the toilet please!

I Am The Princess That’s Why is our second featured Mom site. It is owned by Karen Herbs. Karen resides in New York and is the mother of three. She drives a school bus, and loves archery and snowmobiles.
This entrepreneur actually started with an adult lingerie business; however, she wanted something that her entire family could be involved in. Her mother and 2 daughters helped with the concept and from there I Am The Princess That's Why grew. When asked about the name, I Am The Princess That’s Why, Karen stated that she sat down with a notebook and her 2 girls and I threw some ideas out. One of her designers suggested I'm the Princess, and they tweaked it to I Am the Princess. That's Why came from her youngest daughter with her hand on her hip-- and an attitude of that's why! I can relate to that with my daughter who was dubbed Little Princess.
When I browsed Karen's site, two items really caught my attention. First the Peddle and Battery cars, they are adorable. I’m going to keep them in mind for a birthday gift for my grandson. Second, I realized that Karen’s site truly focuses on everything for the little princess, tea parties, dress up and play houses. I asked Karen what inspired her when she adds merchandise to her site? Karen stated, “Her daughters are really what inspired her to do a little changing and take it up several notches to all the stuff we love”. She also stated that she will be adding around 1,500 additional items to the site. What an inventory this will be.
You must take a look at the incredible playhouses, mini mansions, as they are referred to on her site. These custom built mini mansions include eight foot ceilings. Customers can also choose running water, hardwood floors, bay windows, and luxury rooms! I can see myself playing with my granddaughter in one of these. I told my daughter and her husband to start planning the next Little Princess, lol.
We asked Karen what her top sellers were, and she stated the dress up items. She stated that the baby items were also in high demand. Whether it's dress up, tutus or tea parties, this site offers everything to make your little girl's dreams come true. If you don't have a little princess, refer someone who has one. It's a great site to visit. Karen also has a blog, I Am The Princess. She post entries on other businesses and makes the general public aware of contests and hot new products! You visit her at http://wwwiamtheprincess.blogspot.com/ Be sure to leave her a post on her great items.
If you're feeling lucky, each month I am The Princess That’s Why sponsors a contest. Prizes to be won include dress up clothing, I-pod speaker pillows etc. They also donate items at www.getthecrown.com. Be sure to visit Karen at
http://www.iamtheprincess.com/ Click on the Give Away button at the bottom of the site and register. Your little princess could be a winner!

We found a diverse selection of gifts on Cindi's site, which ranged from baby gifts to Vintage Collectibles. This lady truly offers gifts for everyone.
We also found Cindi's business name, Moomette's Magnificents, unique. Moomette's Magnificent was named after Cindi's granddaughter. Her granddaughter's nickname is Lil Moomette. Cindi said, "It's a great way for me to celebrate my first grandchild". We think it's a very catchy name.
