We opened up our Etsy shop in 2010, as a hobby - for something fun to do together and maybe make a little bit of money while doing it. We jumped in not knowing where it would lead us, but we earned enough funds to send my oldest daughter to science camp and buy her a brand new digital camera for her trip!

We do most everything together . . . from brainstorming, choosing color schemes, new product ideas, order processing, packaging and shipping. However, all online aspects handled by me.

We also have a blog that started out as an online journal of our small business adventure, but quickly turned into something more than just that. It became a Lifestyle Blog, a place where I shared anything and everything - including the every day family life, motivational/inspirational quotes, product reviews & giveaways. Shortly after monetizing the blog, it became less fun and seemed like more work than journaling and story sharing, so I quit blogging (but I keep up with instagram).

Throughout our shop's existence, we have primarily used our profits for my kids and their educational expenses (school supplies, field trips, extracurricular educational programs, opportunities & activities).

By supporting small business, you are supporting people and families like ours. We appreciate all of our customers with such gratitude and couldn't be happier to provide you with our fun handmade items.
