Smiles Made Easy in the running for Canada's Top MompreneurTM!

Kitchener, Ontario, July 27, 2007 – Smiles Made Easy was founded by local mom Karem Kalin in 2003, when her first son was just 1 year old. Kalin has created an award winning line of note cards that prompt senders to complete thoughts like "Can you believe we…", "I have fun when we…", and "You're a great…". The cards can be made inspiring, reminiscent, romantic or just plain goofy. "Too often we think we need to buy someone the 'perfect material gift', when what we really need to do is tell them why they're so special to us in the first place", says Kalin. Thought cards make it simple and stylish to do just that.

Smiles Made Easy has moved from a kitchen table operation to a hot and growing business. In only 4 years, Smiles Made Easy can be found in stores nationwide, has won the 2006 Best Product from iParenting Media, has been featured in over 50 media spots including Canadian Living and Breakfast Television, and was selected for the Primetime Emmy gift bag.

"I am ecstatic with the growth of Smiles Made Easy" says Kalin. "My initial goal was to have my product in 10 stores by the end of the first year. I reached that goal by the first month! It really motivated me to move forward." Kalin says seeing other moms turn a simple idea into a successful business encouraged her to give it a shot.

"Winning the Mompreneur™ of the Year Award would mean a great deal to me" Kalin says. "The cash and business advisory services would give me the opportunity to grow my business even further and allow me to work with people who know what they're talking about! Being a one women show and wearing all hats – on a shoestring budget is a challenge. This award would allow me to take Smiles Made Easy to the next level."
