Miss Minty

it’s here. 🥹

MOODZ is officially live. MOODZ // all feels welcome

this one means more to me than I can probably put into a caption.

MOODZ was born from a season of my life that taught me how many things can be true at the same time.

you can be grateful and hurting.
strong and exhausted.
healing and grieving.
happy and still have heavy days.

and somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling like every hard feeling needed to be fixed.

sometimes it just needs to be felt.

that’s what MOODZ is.

the hand drawn wave represents the highs, the lows + everything in between, because none of us move through life in a straight line.

and maybe the question isn’t “are you okay?”

maybe it’s simply…

how are you, really?

whatever the answer is today, there’s room for it here.

THE FIRST FEELS is our first limited collection and it’s available now. 🤎

🤎COZY GIRL.
🩵HAPPY GIRL.
☁️SOFT GIRL.
🤍BRAVE GIRL.

limited quantities available + once they’re gone, they’re gone.

the first 20 orders will also receive a complimentary MOODZ head scarf. ♡

and from the very beginning, I knew I wanted this brand to mean more than something we wear. 20% of proceeds will be given back to the cancer community, a community that will forever be part of my story.

I can’t believe I finally get to say this…

welcome to MOODZ.

all feels welcome. ♡

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL THOUGHTS 🌈

One year.
Looking back at last year’s first day of school photo hits differently. (Swipe to see it)

At the time, another first day of school honestly wasn’t even on my radar. I was just trying to get through chemo.
I had just lost my hair a couple weeks before. I remember standing there in my brand new wig, smiling for my babies, but not really feeling like myself AT ALL. I didn’t even know myself anymore.

Today we stood in the exact same spot……
My hair is growing back. (But I still have a wig on) My eyes are a little less swollen. There’s a lot more life in them. And for the first time in a long time… I actually feel like me again.

Cancer has a way of changing what you celebrate.

I’m so happy to be here to pack the lunches, hear the stories after school, and soak up every ordinary moment with these four babies of mine. Who don’t look like babies anymore 😌

I’ll never look at a first day of school the same way again.

MAMA STRONG 💪🏼sunshine, being near the water, sandy kids, music playing, laughing all day long… honestly my kind of perfect. i’m a pisces, so anything involving the water instantly makes me happy, but getting to spend the whole day with my four favorite humans made it even better.

and one of my favorite moments was realizing i could actually pick up all four of my kids at once 😂🤍 i don’t know why that hit me so hard, but it did. it reminded me how far i’ve come this past year and how much stronger i feel these days. sometimes the smallest moments end up meaning the most.

being their mom is my favorite thing in the world.

they are my happy place.
my comfort place.
my adventure buddies.
the reason life still feels fun and magical even in the middle of hard seasons.

there’s nowhere i’d rather be than with them, barefoot in the sun, near the water, making memories they probably won’t even realize i’ll hold onto forever.

i’ll carry them for as long as i can… literally and figuratively 🤍

my favorite place will always be wherever they are!

i didn’t set out to be a “market person”… but wow this one meant something 🥹

if you swipe, you’ll see my “why” first.
my kids are always at the center of everything i build… every risk…idea, long day. i do this for them, and to show them what it looks like to create something from nothing and pour your whole heart into it.

the whole intention behind minty market was just to make it a little bit more different and intimate. i wanted one cozy space, filled with small local businesses i genuinely love… where you could feel the energy the second you walked in. something more intimate than the typical market, where it’s not just walking by booths, but actually seeing people, connecting, and soaking it all in.

i wanted these businesses to be felt… and i wanted to use my platform to put as many eyes on them as possible. because these people are building real things, with real heart behind them.

and you guys showed up 🥹
it was busy, it was warm, it was full in the best way.

i had a lot of learning moments (lol so many notes taken), but that’s part of it… and honestly, it was really fun. like unexpectedly fun.

at the end of the day, if even a few of these businesses walked away with new customers, new followers, new opportunities… then it did exactly what it was meant to do.

this will always be about supporting small businesses, creating space for them, and getting new eyes on what they’re building.

and this was just the first one 🤍

biggggg big big shout out to for help bringing this decision into life with her beautiful space that she created!

I think we definitely will do another one, and it will be bigger, so just wait!
