Toronto, ON June 2009 – Mommy’s Lil Monkey has put our name into the ring to win The SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award, a readers' choice contest designed to find Canada's top Mom Entrepreneur. The winner will be announced in the fall, and will be rewarded with a $15,500 that was designed to help take that business to the next level.

Launched in 2008 Mommy’s Lil Monkey has grown from a small home-based business to an online national store! Mommy’s Lil Monkey offers a banana load of amazing baby gifts & goodies including diaper liners, organic nursing pads, diaper bags, burpie cloths and more! All approved by my lil monkey Jacob! Mommy’s Lil Monkey items are created with love, the concept of stylish simplicity and are eco friendly! Babies are enough work; who needs the fuss and muss of extra frills, lace and bows? Best of all Mommy’s Lil Monkey boutique quality and unique items are priced affordably so that any mommy can enjoy them.

"So many baby items in today’s market are over priced, over complicated and over wasteful. When I found out we were having a monkey of our own I knew there had to be a better way!” Says Julia Mackenzie-De Jonge, creator and owner of Mommy’s Lil Monkey, "If we are honoured with the title of Mom Entrepreneur of the Year, I plan to use the award money to help build Mommy’s Lil Monkey into part time employment a step beyond its current status of a beloved hobby."
