  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Christina Rein for 
her creativity and ingenuity.
  Last year, like many parents, Christina felt the frustration of 
crumpled diapers when they were placed in her diaper bags. She decided 
she was going to do something about it. With the inspiration from her 
children, she designed Diapees and Wipees, a pouch created to carry a 
few diapers and wipes that has helped her tremendously in raising her 
baby boy.
  After numerous hours of research on how and where to market her 
invention, Christina founded the Christina Leigh & Company in 2004. 
Through her company, she has been able to help relieve the stress of 
many other parents, as well as starting a fashion trend. Recently, she 
attended the annual International Juvenile Products Manufacturers 
Association Trade Show and appeared on morning shows to advertise her 
product. Her product comes in many fashionable designs and can be 
purchased in baby boutiques and stores in several states or from her 
website.
  Today, I want to recognize Christina Rein for her outstanding 
accomplishments. Her success as a loving mother and a successful 
entrepreneur is admirable, and we wish her the best in her future 
endeavors.
