Both of my girls were born with cradle cap and eczema. Not wanting to introduce their sensitive skin to the harsh steroids, I started mixing some ingredients that I'd read help heal the skin. It worked so well on my youngest that my pediatrician told me that I needed to start selling it!

I wasn't quite convinced so I gave some to my girlfriends who'd recently had babies that were also suffering with various skin issues. They raved at how well it worked and how soft their babies' skin became after using it.

I was nervous but I finally decided to share the shea-based body butters that I was making with others here on Etsy.

I didn't stop there! I also make scrubs, bath bombs, lip butters and scrubs and more!

And there's even more than that! As a breastfeeding mom, I made some pretty nursing infinity scarves. My baby isn't for being covered but there are certain areas I prefer the discretion. These scarves are pretty enough for daily wear for those not nursing and give some edge to my fellow nursing mommies!

I also do quilting. Again, I started with my second daughter. I posted a picture of hers and then requests came in for more!

I love creating things that are functional for others. Keep checking back for more and check me out at www.thecrunchymommy.com!
