Moms Cash in on Own Inventions

N E W   Y O R K, Nov. 10 -- Four inventive mothers found solutions for their own needs, instead of waiting for someone else to come along with an idea. Now they're profiting off their original designs and making other parents happy along the way.

The moms showed off their successful inventions on Good Morning America today.

Details on all of the products are included in the list below.

Dreampearls

Julie Kentera developed a product she named (www.dreampearls.com) because she didn't want to honor the loss of her child's baby teeth with cash.

Kentera, a former first grade teacher and now a stay-home mother of two daughters, says her 8-year-old, Aja, was her original inspiration.

The gift, which is supposedly given by the tooth fairy, transforms baby teeth into beautiful pearls.

It includes a handcrafted charm bracelet, made of sterling silver and Swarovski crystals, that holds 12 tiny pearl charms, The tooth fairy leaves one charm in exchange for each lost tooth.

It also comes with an illustrated tooth fairy book, complete with a tooth journal for recording the memories of each tooth loss.

Kentera, of Phoenix, Ariz., said she believes the DreamPearls gift is a more sentimental way of celebrating a child's transformation.

Based on her company's success, she's not the only parent who feels that way.

Dreampearls tooth fairy gift sets were included in the exclusive "goodie bags" given to celebrities at major entertainment events this year, such as the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys. Kentera's DreamPearls gift sets cost $50.

Kentra is currently working on a tooth fairy gift made just for little boys.

The Clean Shopper and The Clean Diner

Missy Cohen-Fyffe was concerned about all of the germs her baby was picking up every time she put her in a shopping cart while at the supermarket. She came up with The Clean Shopper (www.cleanshopper.com) as a way to easily avoid the problem altogether.
