My name is Amy Sapirstein, founder of Active Urban Mom, LLC, and creator of Mommy Mitten. I am 36, living in New York City with my loving husband and our 2 daughters. Until the arrival of our first daughter, like most women my age, I had been focusing on my corporate career. These days I am getting used to, and loving, my roles as mommy and entrepreneur.
The concept for Mommy Mitten came about in October 2007 when I was pushing our new baby in the stroller around our New York City neighborhood. It was just getting chilly, and I had not yet pulled my gloves and mittens from the back of my closet. That is when the idea struck. I set up my company, Active Urban Mom, LLC, and two full years later and through much trial and error, I was happy to bring Mommy Mitten to market in September 2009.
In addition to my website, www.mommymitten.com, Mommy Mitten is now available through BabiesRUs.com; Amazon.com and will be available through Diapers.com in Fall of 2011.
I am proud that Mommy Mitten is at the forefront of my venture, and thank you very much for your support.
