Life is full of surprises…and babies are the best kind! Ten years after our son was born, our daughter made her appearance and changed our family dynamics forever. Diapers... and Little League? Preschool... and middle school? With two kids at completely different stages in life, it was time to regroup.

Being a new mom again after all that time was overwhelming. I decided to take a year off from work to focus on our new little blessing. I was surrounded by everything "baby" and loving it. After almost 20 years as a banker, being home full-time rejuvinated my spirit and sparked my creativity. I was inspired to design my own line of stylish, soft baby gifts, and Dillyhearts was born. My daughter's naptimes and bedtime became the flexible work schedule I craved for our family, as I designed patterns, cut fabric, and taught myself how to sew.
