"My vision for Spoonful Apparel started with an idea to create apparel with messages that inspire, encourage and motivate – and ultimately start a new conversation.

After staying home 11 years to raise my girls I decided to rejoin the workforce in 2014. My search led me to school district 279, where I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a preschool room in Maple Grove, MN for four years. In 2016, while working in our classroom, I met a 4-year-old boy who had gone the first three months of the school year without a lunch – this broke my heart.  He became the inspiration for the mission behind Spoonful Apparel.

I believe that we are all here for a unique purpose, and through that purpose, to make the world a better place. Spoonful Apparel gives 50% of our profits to help fight child hunger because we believe children deserve better.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, and currently live in the northwest suburbs with my biggest fan & husband of 26 years (Eric), two girls (Sydney - 18, Reese - 13), and our black lab Josie. If you stop over for a visit, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen pursuing two of my other passions, cooking and baking."
