Work at Home Mom

I opened The Traveling Tot (formerly named Two Little Monkies) in the spring of 2010 with the intention of making my shop a hobby, hoping to sell some of the items I made for my own children. Over the last 7 years my shop is grown more than I could have ever imagined and has become more of a full-time job than just a hobby.

I began with a just a few travel neck pillows and since then I have added over a dozen types of children and baby items to my stock. In 2017 I made the decision to branch off from The Traveling Tot to open Sleepy Dust Designs for my baby items and baby carrier accessories.

I love making my own patterns and finding a new way to make each item. I pride myself on quality and I believe that each item should be made with care and attention to detail as I would if making it for my own children.

I would not have this business if it wasn't something that I truly loved to do, and that is what motivates me every day. I strive to do my best, from making high quality and long lasting products to providing excellent customer service and fast shipping. I pride myself in having excellent feedback and I feel a good reputation is an important part of my business.

I love the flexibility of working from home while still being able to care for my children. Having a home based business has given me the opportunity to help contribute financially, while still being with my children all day. I typically sew once my children are in bed because caring for my children leaves me with very little time during the day! I wouldn't change a thing about it though, I enjoy having the opportunity to sneak away to the quiet of my office every night and focus on doing something that I enjoy!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders

I am happy to create an item just for you! Most of my items are able to be customized with fabrics that I have on hand, and sometimes I am also willing to order fabrics (additional charges may apply). I can also alter the size and shape slightly, to make an item better fit your needs.

Because of the nature of my items, I do not always have every item listed in my shop that I am available to make. Please see my price list for a list of items I can make by request.

If you are interested in a custom order, please send me a message to discuss what you are looking for!

Care instructions

Please see listings for care instructions on individual items.

Every item comes with care instructions on the tag or package insert. If you are unable to use these care instructions (worn off the tag, packaging was thrown away, used item didn't come with instructions), please send me a message and I will gladly give you this information!
