Awakening Hope and Joy

Bluebird Refuge Founders

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

We’re on a journey to awaken hope and joy, two cups of tea at a time, with the help of the bluebird.

Why bluebirds?

When shaping our vision, we discovered their inspiring history. Once barely surviving, bluebirds now thrive because people united, learned what was needed, and built nest boxes—making a difference in their own backyards. Coast to coast, every nest box mattered.

In the same way, we are called to build symbolic nest boxes for women in motherhood—especially those experiencing uncertainty during pregnancy—creating spaces of help, hope, and refuge.

Too often, women feel unseen, unsupported, and alone. By sharing tea and conversation—whether one-to-one or through tea parties that raise awareness of what women need to thrive—we can accompany women by magnifying existing pregnancy and parenting services, while also strengthening the life-giving nonprofits that walk with them.

And just as the bluebird instinctively looks forward to springtime and brighter days, we believe this is our springtime—a season to cultivate relationships, plant seeds of inspiration, and grow communities that unite around women in motherhood, bringing hope and joy to all.

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

Thanks for visiting our shop!
