MARISSA

Imagine a time when you were a child & were able to look at children's books filled with sweet animals & nature scenes. Life was simple, & it still can be. Creating pet paintings, home décor, & stationery for you & your family to be surrounded with that simple inspiring innocence of a child is our mission. When I’m not perfecting my craft, you can expect to find me modeling, reading a book, or enjoying chocolate chip cookie dough.

TERRI

Because I raised one set of children, before starting the parenting

journey "over" with a new generation of two more daughters,

I see & respect the challenges mothers face as they seek to parent

 with strong values. That's one reason it is important to me to offer

light-filled, joyful items that inspire & delight families.

Another way I desire to impact hearts & homes is through my podcast,

"Purposed Parent/Connected Child."

I encourage & equip women 

to choose Christ over culture & parent with confidence & connection.
