You probably wouldn't guess how I grew up.  This mama spent the first seven years of her childhood with her family in a cozy log cabin, built by her lumberjack father, tucked ten miles outside of a small mining town on a dirt logging road.  This little home, although full of love, had no electricity and an outhouse as a bathroom!  When we needed to vacuum, we would start a generator in our shop and voila, we had power (for the time being).  My first phone conversation wasn't until six years of age (until that, we just used my dad's CB radio--and don't feel bad if you don't know what that is, most people don't!)

So how did I venture from that unique childhood to become an internet lovin', web-savvy mama?  First, it started by marrying a man that graduated with a degree in computer science.  Then, it had everything to do with my dream and God's grace.

All great adventures must first begin as a dream. My dream was to stay at home with my son Hunter, while also helping the family financially. I committed my dream to prayer and asked God for wisdom. I realized that there were many options that could work, but only a few that I would be truly passionate about. I have a lot of passion for being a mother, so helping other moms was a logical place to start.

I began by searching for a few unique products that would be helpful to almost any mom. In October of 2003, I found my first product and Mom 4 Life was born. The first product I carried was the New Native Baby Carrier followed soon after by LilyPadz. I was so excited about these two great products and knew that other moms were sure to love them as much as I did.

Soon thereafter, I began to get recommendations from other moms about products that they knew and loved. Thus, my inventory began to grow including additional unique and useful items like Hooter Hiders, Glamourmom tank tops, the Bella Band, and Bravado nursing bras.  Suddenly, my dream had become a reality.  As my business grew so did its effects on others.  My eyes were opened to the amazing talent of other mothers working from their homes and my product line quickly expanded to make room for the unique and useful products they offered.  The products we carry are fantastically fresh, very often brand new to the market and not available in any big-box stores.  I am proud that Mom 4 Life's extensive product line is comprised entirely of the handiwork of moms.  As you browse the site, I hope you will take time to read their stories featured with their products and know that your purchase helps these mothers achieve their dreams as well. 

I am now a mom of four (three children on Earth and one in heaven).  It was through the death of our third child, Sawyer, in May of 2008 that I had the opportunity to see motherhood through new eyes and appreciate it in a different light.  You are welcome to visit my blog and if you follow the link in the "welcome" message in the left hand corner, you can read more about this part of my journey.

Regardless of how many products I offer or how large my business grows, my primary goal will remain the same: to offer unique products at great prices with exceptional customer service! I am rather picky about customer service: I like to be appreciated as a person rather than viewed as a number. I want to do the same for you!

Please feel free to contact me by phone, letter or email and I will be happy to speak with you, answer your questions or hear about your product ideas. After all, if we are in it for life, shouldn't we moms stick together?
