the heartbeat to MY BUSINESS
Handmade with love. One shirt at a time.
In 2022 I experienced one of the hardest losses of my life. On September 10th after finding out I was pregnant three days prior, I was having severe stomach pain. On the way to the hospital it was barely sprinkling and mostly blue skies and suddenly a rainbow appeared (see photo) and that’s when I knew that my little baby had now become my angel baby. Before being able to fully process being pregnant, I was being rushed in to the OR and now trying to process the loss of my baby. I had already been struggling to get pregnant for 3 years before that so it was very heartbreaking and depressing for me to say the least. At that point, I gave up. I figured I just wasn’t meant to have anymore babies and so I just left it to the will of God, if I were going to get pregnant and have the daughter that I was begging for, it would happen on His time. Here is where it get’s crazy… at the beginning of June 2023, I found out I was pregnant! I went to the doctor and my estimated conception date, was the due date of the baby that I had just lost. My rainbow baby. I couldn’t believe it, and in my heart I knew it was going to work out this time.
While pregnant with her I wanted to keep myself busy to avoid the common anxiety of the “what if’s” of pregnancy and the constant appointments with “dr.google” so I started Mama’s Cozy Closet Co. Spreading love to other mamas and women around the US with one shirt at a time and it honestly has brought me nothing but pure bliss! During December of 2023 my rainbow baby River Amitola (meaning rainbow in Native American) was born. I shut my site down until recently so I could tackle becoming a mama of 3 and healing from a very high-risk c-section! Now that I’ve finally adjusted I’ve reopened and I am ready to reach new goals! That being said, it’s so nice to meet you, my babies and I are so thankful to have you here with us!
I grew up on a hobby farm in a small town in Minnesota. I got pregnant at the age of 16 and my whole world changed. I knew at a young age that I wanted to be a mama and even though I was still a child myself, I was SOOOO excited to have a for ever bestie (little did I know then that I would have three). Just three weeks after I turned 17, my baby Rylan was born and it was instant love at first sight. After a few years he finally got to the age where I would watch him play and I would get sad seeing him play by himself and that’s when I decided I wanted to give him a brother and by the grace of God, I got pregnant with another boy! 3 weeks before my 22nd birthday, baby Royce was born. Over the years I have gotten to watch them grow up together and become best friends and make so many memories together and as a family.
