Trendy Tykes 1 year Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been a year since I started my Trendy Tykes business. If you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life. Fortunately I am blessed to be able to do what I love.

However, selling only online does have it's challenges. The social media work involved in an online business can be a full time job in its self. So for those of you who strictly sell online as I do you know that it takes more than a 40 hr. work week to make a go of it. It can be hard if you have a HANDMADE business juggling your production and social media. I am still trying to figure out the perfect balance.

To celebrate Trendy Tykes Anniversary I am having a big SALE starting April 29 through May 2. Please stop by my website or my Etsy store to take advantage of the big discounts!


All items except for Embroidery Designs will be on sale. If an item is sold you can request it custom made by contacting me at: lori@ttykes.com  (this does not apply to "one of a kind" items)

I'm Back!!!

Hello to all my blogging friends. I've missed you!

I was out of town for awhile to take care of our 24 yr. old son Jake who was in the hospital for a week and then needed 24 hour care after his discharge. We are very blessed to still have him with us. It was an experience I hope to never go through with a child again. All the moms out there can certainly appreciate how it feels to be caring for a sick child. I would sincerely like to thank all of you who sent well wishes our way during our son's recovery.

I am so glad to be back doing what I love. If you haven't visited my blog or website in awhile you might not know about my new Monster Jammerz™ line. They are simple adorable and so soft that any toddler would love to have them. I sell matching pajamas too! You can check them out on my website or my Etsy storefront here:
