Our Story: Handmade for Every Family
Welcome to Momma Bears Creations! We’re more than just a business; we’re an Enola, Pennsylvania based family, and this is our story—a story of passion, purpose, and a promise to create natural, handcrafted skincare for every body and every family.
How It Really Started
Our journey didn’t begin with a business plan or a “kitchen table” moment. It started with gifts.
Stacie (Momma Bear) made natural skincare products as gifts for the people in her life—teachers, friends, and family members. She thrived on the joy her creations brought to others and would gladly give them away for free. That’s still her heart today.
Maddi (our daughter) had just welcomed her son and was looking for a way to spend more time with her grandson while contributing to the family.
Scott (Papa Bear) saw an opportunity to balance Stacie’s generous heart with business sustainability, so her passion could fund itself and reach more families beyond our circle of friends.
From Gifts to Flea Markets to Craft Shows
We took our first public step at Williams Grove Flea Market in Central PA. Honestly? We were surprised. “All different people” showed interest in our products. They didn’t just accept them as gifts—they wanted to buy them. People came back, becoming repeat customers. We built real connections, face-to-face.
From there, we expanded to craft shows across Central Pennsylvania—Central Dauphin Band Boosters, Carlisle Summerfair, and more. But one event changed everything.
The Craft Fair That Changed Everything
East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest became our turning point. It was “our very best show,” the event where we decided to continue this business. We’ve now done it three years running, and it’s still our most important event.
But here’s the magical part: Our grandson took his first steps while we were vending at Pumpkinfest our first year.
Think about that for a moment. Maddi started this business to spend more time with her son. And he took his first steps at the very event that made our business viable. That moment can’t be invented—it’s our why. It’s family time, milestones, and joy, all woven together.
Finding Our Home at Carlisle Creative Vibes
As we grew, we found a permanent home at Carlisle Creative Vibes, where we set up a dedicated booth and became part of their artisan community. In October 2025, we launched our online store through their platform, bringing Momma Bears products to families nationwide while staying rooted in Central PA.
This is who we are: A family business balancing the heart of giving freely with the head of sustainability, built on inclusivity, community, and love—from Enola, PA, with gratitude for every person who believes in what we make.
