How did you meet?
C - Ang and I met during our freshman year at the University of
Southern California. We lived down the hall from each other in the dorm and
both shared a love for running and scrapbooking. After both pursuing the same
major, joining the same sorority, and getting serious about the same faith-- we
grew into fast friends!
A – Courtney and I have known each other for a long time now! Since
college! We have always had a ton in common. We lived in the same dorm, joined
the same sorority, had the same major, ended up pursuing the same studies in
grad school years later, both have a love of running, family, faith… and of
course crafting! We started with scrapbooking back in college and have now
moved into creating accessories for ourselves, our daughters and now, since
starting For Mommy & Me, other mommies and daughters too!
How did For Mommy & Me come about?
C - We have always needed a project to keep our creative juices flowing.
From writing to crafting, we enjoy working together toward a goal. As young
moms, we thought For Mommy & Me would be a great way to be with our kids,
explore our creative outlet and make a little extra money for our families.
A – Courtney and I have both crafting on our own for a while but
recently we decided to turn our individual hobbies into a business. We work
great together and now that we don’t live in the same state anymore, it helps
keep us connected. It never feels like work… just fun with a friend!
What are your favorite For Mommy and Me Pieces?
C - Love the jersey turbans and anything with a bow! I love being able
to match my daughter!
A - I like the shabby chic flower headbands, fun earrings and hair
clips!
Where do you find inspiration to stay creative?
C - I see inspiration all around me. I love walking through the craft
stores and touching the fabrics. It helps me to be creative.
A - Inspiration can come from anywhere! Stores we love, online,
brainstorming together! It's fun to work with a good friend and be able to chat
about new ideas and get excited together. That inspires me. Plus my beautiful
baby girl inspires me daily to be a mommy that she can be proud of. Strong,
confident, loving and generous - I want her to see these traits in me. This
keeps me on my toes sometimes!
What is your favorite part about being a “Mommy”?
C - My favorite part about being a mommy is watching my kids loving
life. Seeing them experience something for the first time or grow in some way
makes me want to keep on even on the hard days.
A - Being a mommy is the most fun I've ever had and has helped me be
content. I love being with my little girl every day and seeing her eyes light
up at the sight of a stick on the ground or a butterfly. She has taught me to
slow down a bit and just take life in, more like a child.
What makes For Mommy & Me unique?
C - Our company is unique because each and every product is
hand-crafted by real moms with daughters who want to bring a little brightness
and joy to other moms and daughters.
A – We understand the wants and needs of moms because we are in the
same shoes. Our goal is to create items that both moms and daughters will enjoy
wearing – nice and comfy and of course, cute! We will also, for every five
products purchased, donate one special item to a mommy and daughter in need.
What are your dreams/goals For Mommy and Me brand?!
C - My dream for For Mommy & Me is to engage mommies and daughters
by offering beautiful things that will help them have a little fun together. My
heart is also to help those in need by offering them the same opportunity
through our 1 for 5 program (a program in which, for every five products
purchased, one special product will be made and donated to a mommy and daughter
in need).
A - I hope mommies and daughters will enjoy our products for years to
come!
