May Sponsor Introduction

I’m so lucky to do what I do and get to stay home with my girlies, too! One of the ways I am able to keep this blog going and stay at home is through having sponsors on my blog. I delighted to introduce you to That’s Lolli! That’s Lolli is a current sponsor of The Real Thing with the Coake Family. I hope you will take some time to learn about That’s Lolli and see her fantastic Etsy shop. She makes the most amazing flowers, headbands, and other accessories both for little girls and for dolls! She has a really neat story I’d like to share with you. Wendy is the woman behind That’s Lolli. She is from Arizona and her husband is from Georgia.  They met in college. Two months after they met they were engaged and married 7 months later.

Wendy is now a mother of three and loves being able to be at home with her children. She loves to make stuff during nap time and after the kids’ bedtime.

Wendy started making flowers for teens and women (mainly her sisters-in-law) until she had her first daughter three years ago.  Then her husband started working on his Ph.D.  So she began selling them to a local shop and selling more on Etsy.  Next, she was selling at craft shows.  The best part is that she found that she loved what she was doing.

Recently her husband became a Ph.D. candidate and his research will be taking him to Lithuania for one year.  They decided they are going to do everything they can to make sure their whole family goes together (a year is a long time).  Wendy is hoping to make enough from her Etsy shop to pay for their plane tickets.  She is looking forward to being able to say she helped get them there and is excited about their new adventure together.
