About Me

I’m Holly, married to Jeff. Together we are the parents of 8 children, ages 9 months to 16 years. (Five sons and 3 daughters.)

I love being a mother!

Perhaps being around children has made me realize even more acutely how fast time flies, and how important it is to hold on to memories.

I have been making huggable memories for almost 20 years, and it is my hope that these little bears will help to lift your spirits and inspire you to remember the good in your family and precious relationships.

For me, making each bear is a labor of love, as I realize the value of the material is worth far more than it appears.

It is with great care that I start each project, thinking as a mother…and I try to infuse that care into each and every bear that I create.

I used to think that I would be a world famous journalist, a trail blazer, a leader among other women.

I did not become who I thought.

Mostly, I’m a wife and mom - a feeder of babes and stopper of squabbles.

And I am happy, blessed, and content to be here.

So, this is not what you thought your life would look like?

No,  it’s better…

and I want you to know that this mother’s heart is a part of every bear that this mother’s hands create.

May the Lord God Bless You,
