Then she and husband Ramey became partners and in 2005, took over as majority owners. Today, Ramey handles financial and legal issues for the company while Annie works as lead designer and oversees much of the company’s marketing.

Address Table Mess with The Cibo

By Stephanie Hanlon

Feeding milestones are some of the most watched and anticipated from parents during the early years. Once the teeth pop in and little gums start chewing, it becomes a whole new cleanup ballgame pretty quickly. Suddenly all the food piled on plates for hungry toddlers is falling on the floor, sticking to walls, and coating the table in grime. Developed by Amy Chandler, The Cibo is designed to keep crumbs and other goo in their place —- or placemat as it were. This little silicone mat can hold big messes with its crumb-catching lip underneath two friendly google eyes.

By Laura Vaillancourt

J.L. Childress Co. was started 30 years ago by Jan Childress. Today, Childress’ daughters Kate Doti and Sarah Gray are continuing to grow their mother’s legacy. “Jan’s needs as a working mom who wanted to breastfeed her daughters for as long as possible were the inspiration behind J.L. Childress’ first products,” Doti recounts. Childress first designed the Express Bag, which is a tote bag to carry breast pumps and the DuffleCOOL, an insulated bag with a reusable ice pack. J.L. Childress has grown to now celebrate 30 years and a position as a leader in gear accessories both in the U.S. and worldwide.
