I’ve done quite a few interviews with moms that own a business or work from home in the US. This time it’s different. This mom makes her blankets where she lives in Canada. Andi’s L’il Monkey blankets are each unique just like the child that’ll be receiving it. They’re also personalized with a name or whatever word it is that you’d like put on the blanket for your child. Made from fleece, they’re soft and keep the child warm.
What was your inspiration behind L’il Monkeys?
When I found out we were having twins, I made each of them a blanket with their name….people started to ask me where they could buy a similar blanket and it all just came together from there. The name was inspired by our monkeys, Emma and Alexis.
What inspired the unique style of your blankets?
I noticed that our girls loved to chew on their stuffed animal tags, hence the tags on the edges. The waffle fleece was the softest fleece I could find.
How long has it been since you decided to start your business? When was your business born?
2 years officially, but was born in October 2004 with the birth of our girls.
