Thanks to everyone for participating in Giveaway Week and stay tuned for more great contests at MyMomShops!

I must admit I have a special fondness for mom-launched businesses. I think it takes a lot of inspiration, drive, and (most of all) stamina to start your own business on top of the 100% time consuming job of raising your kids. So I salute "mompreneurs" like Canadian new moms (and best friends since high school) Lara and Vicky, who at the end of their respective maternity leaves (they had baby boys 6 weeks apart) launched Apples-N-Oranges. Apples-N-Oranges is a hip e-boutique featuring original clothing, shoes and accessories for children ages 0-5 years. All the brands are Canadian (many brands are also mom-run businesses). There are some great finds at Apples-n-Oranges; here are just a few.

Pixie Dust Dress- Day Dream ($44) by Peekaboo Beans:
