In March 2020, I was working in special education, and people started to get really concerned about the pandemic. Schools began to close and I was no longer able to teach my students.

⁣⁣My husband came home and told me his company would be closing permanently due to the lock down. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣So, there we were - my husband and I without jobs and my son turning 1 in less than a month. ⁣⁣

I knew I wanted to buy a Pikler for his first birthday, but that wasn't an option. So I made one. Then a ramp, then a friend's pikler, then another and another and another. ⁣⁣

Now this is my life. I make wood toys for active kids like mine. I get to be with my son every single day. I get to share my passion with families across the country.
