Teacher Appreciation Gifts They'll Actually Love (From a Mom Who's Been There)

This Is Where It All Started

Hey friends. Stacie here. Can I tell you a secret?

Momma Bears Creations didn’t start as a business idea.

We All Have “That Person”

Hey friends. Stacie here. Let me tell you about my friend.

The Question We Get at Every Craft Show: 'Wait... What's a Lotion Bar?'

“Is That… Soap?”

Hey friends! Stacie here. You know what question I hear at literally EVERY craft show?

Customer picks up a lotion bar, smells it, looks confused

“Wait… what IS this? Is it soap?”

Me: “It’s a lotion bar!”

“A lotion… BAR? Like solid lotion?”

Me: “Exactly!”
