Beauty of Motherhood: Advice for New Mothers

Guest Bio: Vicki Reece, Author

Vicki Reece, mother of three and Chicago native, is no stranger to the world of parenting and children. She made headline news across the country as a pioneer in the children's toy world, when she created and launched the first ever interactive music, dance/exercise video for kiddos, computer software geared toward children to inspire and empower them and took a stand against not using violence although many retailers asked her to.

During an era where violence ruled Saturday mornings with the Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles, Vicki felt the void of positive and uplifting messaging geared towards youth. With no expertise or training in the software industry she used her life savings and created video and interactive CDs to create products that were an overnight sensation including Jack's House computer software and Kids Count Workout video, among others. Using "word of mom" as fuel to her retail venture, she took on some of the titanic retailers including Sears, Discovery Toys and Wal-Mart, selling out by the millions nationwide and putting her above her veteran competitors.
