We're Justin and Kathleen, fun-loving kids at heart with a deep appreciation for living simply, being kind to Mother Nature, and creating thoughtful, handmade gifts. Our family business began in 2010 when we returned to the U.S. after serving two years with the Peace Corps in Niger, West Africa. After living in a small, strongly-knit community in West Africa, we wanted the same for our new home in the U.S. We chose Kathy's family roots in rural southwestern Minnesota as our little place to call home. That's where you'll find us, where Justin enjoys the prairie views from his woodshop window, and Kathleen is happy to return to the wide open spaces of her childhood. Best of all, we love sharing it all with our little daughter Amana.When we're not in our woodshop, the three of us are usually enjoying family time, playing games, camping, skiing, and helping out on our family's organic farm.We like to say that we "work hard to play hard," although most days in the woodshop hardly feel like work at all -- come on, we get to make TOYS for a living!
