We owe a huge thanks to Ira Cummings, our amazing website developer who has been working with us since day one.  Ira’s sense of style and design is matched by his deep understanding of what it takes to create a clean, user-friendly website.

Truth be told, we would also be remiss if we didn’t mention how patient and responsive he has been – which is not always an easy task when you’re working with two strong-willed women!

Thanks to Ira – Team Rhoost is one step closer to bringing function and style to childproofing to YOUR home!

We love Makedo for some big reasons:

• Makedo helps us see value in what we already have.  Who really needs more stuff?
• Makedo encourages creativity and resourcefulness and frankly not many things in life do…
• Makedo justifies the irrational habit we have of keeping packaging boxes!

Did you hit Toy Fair 2010 in NYC this week?  What did you love?

For that reason, when we happened upon Worldbike we just had to share. We think this is the right kind of bike for a number of reasons:

• Worldbikes are designed specifically for the needs of individuals in rural areas where rough terrain and demanding use leave most bikes in need of unaffordable repair before long.
• Worldbikes are locally assembled and maintained which mean they generates local jobs and remain operable.
• Bikes are inherently cost and energy efficient.
• These bikes just look so cool!

We are thrilled about the donation we made to help underwrite a bike!

So today we launch a new blog category called “Products we Love”.  We begin with a product we found early on in our process.   This product taught us that safety and fun can be blended in a way that does not have to compromise either.

The Moby bath spout cover by Skip*Hop.  This adorable little blue whale not only protects little heads from big bumps but is also BPA, phthalate and PVC free!  That’s what we call a win-win-win…win situation.

Tell us about the products you love.

Ten – officially launching Rhoost Edge and Sling at ABC Show.

Nine – experiencing first hand the amazing feedback and insights moms have about products.

Eight – building the Rhoost team, and more importantly, the friendships we have developed.

Seven – pushing ourselves into new limits everyday.

Six – much like her mother, Soledad starts dusting at the age of 2.

Five – transitioning from PC to Apple (V’s new years resolution is to get an iphone).

Four – reaching new heights in time efficiency by maintaining full-time jobs while starting a business.

Three – finding our favorite wine of the year, 2007 Terredora di Paolo Falanghina Irpinia.

Two – the soon to be announced, Rhoost third product…shhhhhhhhh.

And the number one Rhoost happening for 2009 was – seeing our ideas come to fruition, going from paper to product!

We look forward to sharing our progress in 2010!

Finally, here’s wishing all our family, friends, and fans happiness and prosperity in the new year!
