At least this year I didn’t see anything that had previously been invented (which was not the case last year. Oops! Was that a product that’s already been on the market for years?) I was surprised they chose two “kitchen” items, though. Not to unduly influence anyone, but I thought the chopping board was the best of the three.
Feel free to post a comment and let me know what you thought!
I also need to follow up on that Staples contest and see who won. OH! And the Whirlpool contest is off and running again; I’ll try to post something about that as well for those who are interested.
Good luck to the three contestants on this year’s Mothers of Invention Challenge!

This year I thought that the three chosen contestants were good ideas, but again ALREADY on the market, just tweeked a bit. The Buggy 911, good, but with my twins I glued velcro on a bag and had the same thing, guess I should have entered 5 years ago. But I know they have those for bicycles.
The Chopping board, Pampered chef has a version. And the cookie Cutter, which I did vote for, has been done in doggy bone sytles, in a straight line…but isn’t the enjoyment of cooking WITH your kids suppose to be the TIME…so whats the hurry? Tis the life we lead I know, as I am a working mother of twin boys (5) and three year old daughter, but this was a MOTHERS contest.
I am working on my own invention and working on the patent. Currently I am searching and seraching ot find something like it, but can’t, so I made my own for the kids. Anyone who has children or HAS Had children could use it. So let me know of anyother contests, I would love to try to enter… BEE INVOLVED, BEE INSPIRED…BEE CREATIVE! -The Queen Bee
