Hello and thanks for taking the time to learn more about us! Where do I start? We are Josh & Shauna Spier. We have five beautiful, healthy, and amazing children (as all children tend to be). We are a nature-loving bunch of free-thinking types. We live in Portland, Oregon, where we operate our business out of our home. We relocated from Texas to Oregon in December 2006 so that Josh could finish up his Environmental Science degree at PSU ~ and to provide our children with a better quality of life. We LOVE Oregon!!!

We created this business for a few reasons. First of all, we wanted to be able to stay at home with our children and make a living doing something that inspires creativity, supports a healthy lifestyle, and does not harm the environment. It is very important to us that we maintain green living ethics, therefore this overflows into green business ethics. It all goes full circle. Supporting other work-at-home moms and dads is the best part, because we all share the same vision. We hope that you will see this site as an extension of who we are. We have woven photos of our family, flowers, and friends in nature throughout this site, in hopes that you will feel that you are home here.

Live the life you love,

Shauna Spier
