Hello! My name is Britteny and I am the creator and owner behind Squishy & Bean. I am a stay-at-home mama to two little ones. My jelly Bean, Noah, and my little Squishy girl, Amelia, are the inspiration behind my little shop!

My children have been both the reason and the inspiration for my designs. I have always loved sewing, but my time for it and my passion for it really tapered off after I started university. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I bought a new sewing machine and decided to try making some things for my toddler and for our new baby. It reignited the spark in my creativity, and I have been sewing ever since. I mainly started making receiving blankets and crib blankets, but when my daughter was about 2 months old I came up with my dribble bib design as a solution to our drooling and spit up problem. I just never found a bib that had all the features I wanted: stylish, absorbent, not too big, etc., so I ended up making my own.

In the winter of 2017, near the end of my maternity leave, I started to seriously think about sharing my designs with others. I enjoyed making them, and I knew other mamas out there could benefit from them just like me. I knew I wouldn’t be returning to work, and this meant that I would actually have the time to invest in creating a business. It’s been a long process of creating stock and getting everything set up online, but here we are! Being able to do something that allows me to contribute financially to my family, express my creativity, help other mamas, and spend time with my little ones is what this adventure is all about!

If you love stylish and practical accessories for your little ones, then you'll love Squishy & Bean! We hope you find something that you love as much as we do!
