Our Story

It started with something simple:

wanting the people I love to know just how loved they are.

I’m a mom, an aunt, a godmother, and someone who lives for her family.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve found joy in making the people around me feel special.

Creating the little details, experiences, traditions, and moments that say,

“I see you. I hear you. You matter to me.”

And when it comes to our children, that means even more.

I believe every child deserves to grow up feeling seen, heard, important, and deeply loved. Not only on birthdays or during the big milestones, but in the ordinary moments that make up their childhood.

That belief became the heart behind Hold This Moment.

The Why behind the creation of Hold This Moment.

Childhood moves incredibly fast.

There are firsts, celebrations, questions, adventures, difficult transitions, silly afternoons, bedtime conversations, and ordinary days that we don’t realize are extraordinary until they’ve passed us by. When we then say " They grew up so fast"

Hold This Moment was created to help us be more intentional and present for them.

We create thoughtfully designed experiences that bring children and the important people in their lives together. Our products help parents, grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles, and other special adults step into a child’s world to talk, play, create, discover, celebrate, navigate new experiences, and make memories together.

But what we are creating goes beyond an activity, a book, or a keepsake.

We are creating opportunities for connection.

Opportunities to put everything else aside for a little while and show a child:

I’m here.

I’m listening.

You matter.

And this moment with you matters to me.

The Bigger Dream

My hope for Hold This Moment reaches far beyond the memory being created today.

I believe the way we love our children helps shape the way they will someday love others.

When a child grows up knowing what it feels like to be heard,

perhaps they become someone who listens.

When they know what it feels like to be included,

perhaps they become someone who includes others.

When they experience kindness, compassion, patience, and love,

perhaps those are the things they carry with them into the world.

And maybe, years from now,

they won’t remember every activity we planned or every word we said.

But they will remember how we made them feel.

My dream is to help more families create those feelings and those memories by giving adults simple, meaningful ways to connect with the children they love and, through those moments, build a generation that feels loved enough to give that love back to the world.

Because the moments we create today can become so much more than memories.

They can become part of who our children grow up to be.

Hold This Moment

Create the moment.

Share the experience.

Keep the memory.

Pass the love forward.
