Our Corner of Hope and Joy

“For we are what He has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.” Ephesians 2:10 (NRSV)

Once upon a Lenten season—that’s when inspiration poured out of us.

During the 40 days leading up to Easter 2023, something greater than ourselves stirred our hearts and nudged us to take a leap of faith. But that’s not where our story begins.

We’re Renee and Mary—sisters, best friends, and business partners. We’re also wives, moms, dream-builders, and spirit-led daughters.

Raised with heartland values such as faith, friendliness, resilience, and service, we were blessed to witness them lived out daily by our parents—humble, and selfless servants who have always been attentive to the needs of others. Inspired by their loving example, we are now adventuring on a path of awakening hope and joy, two cups of tea at a time, with the help of the bluebird.

The bluebird’s sweet song reminds us that after every winter season comes spring—a time of growth, renewal, and new beginnings.

Collectively, this is our springtime—a time to cultivate relationships, plant seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of people, and grow interest within communities across the nation to unite and accompany women through motherhood, bringing hope and joy to all!

Accompaniment isn’t one-size-fits all; it’s a shared moment—a chat over a cup of tea, from person to person, sister to sister, mother to daughter, neighbor to neighbor, and friend to friend.

We’re in business to do good, and with your help, we know we can brew something beautiful together!
