Catholic Gifts & Home Goods • Minnesota

ABOUT THE BUSINESS

I am a SAHM of four energetic kiddos who enjoys designing faith-inspired products to provide Catholic individuals and families with tools to embrace the faith in everyday life. I also have been trying to move away from using AI graphics (other than as backgrounds) for my products in appreciation of the true Catholic artists I've met who have worked so hard to hone their skills and take the sacredness of their calling very seriously! As a busy mom myself, I love activities that fill multiple purposes and don't require a lot of preparation or monitoring! The dry-erase boards are fantastic for homeschooling families and other Catholic families who want to help their children love and learn about the faith, but want a few minutes to themselves or to get other tasks done without having to guide their children step-by-step. Recommended for ages 3+ (but even my 2-year-old loves scribbling on them!), these boards are straightforward, fun, educational, and made JUST for you by a mom who uses them frequently with her own kids!

MEET THE OWNER

What inspired you to start this business?

I started out with simple digital designs inspired by my faith, and then moved along to adding them to physical products. Once I discovered a new crafting technique and through the inspiration of my oldest, I started creating dry-erase boards aimed to help children learn prayers while practicing their handwriting.

How does your faith shape your work?

As a mom trying to hand on the rich heritage of the faith to my own children, I love having the privilege of making tools to help families like my own pass on some of the beautiful prayers and devotions that help us in times of joy, need, trouble, and sorrow.

What's a favorite patron saint or scripture?

Saint Michael has been a monumental intercessor for my family and me the past few years. Some other favorites are Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Carlo Acutis—my oldest is a huge fan! I also LOVE the Surrender Novena. It has become my go-to prayer and inspiration for most of my work.

What's one thing you'd like customers to know?

I make all of these products by hand in my home, and enjoy teaching my children the joy of creating faith-inspired gifts for others. I pray for every customer who orders products from me while I design, prep, make, package, and ship it.
