Mompreneur: Lisa Yap
Company: o yikes
Website: www.oyikes.com

What inspired you to launch o yikes?
I wanted a bag that would match mine and my husband’s lifestyle.  We’re active parents on the go and wanted a bag that could keep up without looking too much like we were going camping.  We also wanted a bag that had an urban feel… so long story short I decided to design a bag that would meet my needs.  Now as a mom of an active toddler, it’s great.  I can keep my hands free to keep up with him.

How long have you been in business?
2 years

What is the most rewarding part of being a Mompreneur?
Open schedule so I can volunteer at my kindergartner’s school.  It’s also wonderful to meet other moms with a similar background - carrying my bag.

How many children do you have in the household?
One, but as I mentioned he’s very active so sometimes it feels like I had twins.

What is the mot difficult part of being a Mompreneur?
Same as above, the open schedule makes it difficult to stop working.  You try to fit in emails here and there then pretty soon, it’s morning.  When we first launched, I found myself up at 3 am jumping back and forth sewing 50 superhero capes and writing copy for my website.  (The capes were party favors for my son’s 3rd birthday party and the copy was for the launch of our site - both of which would happen in a couple of days.)

Do you have advice for someone that wants to start a new career as a Momprenuer?
Go for it, don’t wait, but make sure to prioritize - personal and business.

My daughter sported one of the Cue-T organic baby t shirts this Thanksgiving. Saving the turkey and saving the earth at the same time. The “Eat Tofu Save Turkey” shirt is a great conversation piece.

Going “green” is a hot topic these days and the Cue-T company is doing their part to empower youngsters and their parents to go green. Did you know that conventional cotton is sprayed with harmful pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers? Did you know that with every organic cotton t shirt purchase prevents 4 oz. of concentrated, hazardous, chemicals from polluting our earth? So if 100 people owned one organic shirt they would save 744,000 gallons of water and eliminate 168 pounds of chemical fertilizer and 1.14 pounds of toxic pesticides.

More than just a bib, it’s a coverall!
I sent my daughter to school in a crisp, clean white shirt. Some may ask why would you put a 2 year old in a white shirt. Well normally I wouldn’t but mommy was behind on the laundry and white was the only option. So reluctantly I sent her off to school.

When I picked her up from school I was quickly reminded why white is such a bad idea.
At least she had fun though, right? As I tossed this one into the white shirt graveyard, I realized their must be a better way.

And there is. The Chic Tots Chic&Clean coveralls, the best baby bib alternative out there! It’s a bib, a smock, and a coverall all in one. It takes the stress out of playtime and mealtime self-feeding. The coveralls are mildew, stain and water proof. The Chic&Clean coveralls also have a unique split-leg to accommodate all high chairs.
