I am a fan of Desperate Housewives, and of Felicity Huffman. But just recently I discovered that Huffman, the mom of two daughters, is also a Mom Entrepreneur!
When rocking one of her daughter in her rocking chair, Huffman would get frustrated by the pillow behind her head constantly slipping down. So Felicity got out her sewing machine one day and solved her neck pillow dilemma herself-
“Finally I got out the sewing machine I´ve had since 8th grade and designed a pillow that would support my neck, cradle my head from side to side and wouldn´t slide down!
I started sewing them for friends, who told their friends and suddenly “Head´s Up” was a hit.”
The Desperate Housewives star says she invented the product “not because I think I’ll make a gazillion dollars, but because I feel that everyone needs to know about products that help moms and I really think every mom should have one.”
The Head’s Up Pillow won a Good Housekeeping Excellence award last year.
