Well, after graduating from Purdue University in 1995, moving to and from Orlando, Florida, my husband and I landed in Chicago in 1999. In 2004, after being a workaholic for a busy Property Management Company, our daughter Lauren Jessica came into the world on April 23, 2004 ~ our proudest moment!  I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and raise my daughter.

Of course, as time went by, I was “itching” to work again, but did not want to go back in the corporate workforce, so utilizing my creative side, I began to make little newborn bows and headbands for Lauren, her friends, and to give as gifts. Shortly thereafter, it grew from little bows to bigger bows and more people wanting them!

I began expanding again into making flower headbands, but instead of the flower being glued on, I put everything on a clip so it could be removed and interchanged. The clips can be worn alone, on headbands, hats and outfits! Very long-lasting, fun and versatile! Plus, the hats, by adding the adjustable/removable ribbon, can be worn from newborn through age 10! What product for children has such a lifespan?! WOOBIE WEAR does!

So, finally in 2006, I was tired of hearing, “you should sell these", so I did and it was a hit! I started out doing craft fairs and then branched into online and local boutiques. Woobie Wear is all boutique-style accessories that your little angel must have!

I strive to make a fun, unique, versatile product that mom’s and babies will love! I stand behind the quality of WW 100% and if you are ever unsatisfied, please contact us immediately.

In May '08, my son, Andrew James joined the world! Woobie Wear gives me the flexibility to be a stay-at-home mom and fulfill my need to work! Lauren was my inspiration and always will be the heart of Woobie Wear.

Thank you,
