About Me + My Mission
I am an Ottawa, ON Mom of two incredible kids. Everything on the site is printed + pressed by me!
I became a Mom in 2014 to a beautiful baby girl + in 2017 I became a Mom of two. Our son, who was born 11 weeks ahead of schedule spent the first 9 weeks of his life In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit here in Ottawa. During my maternity leave with him I started crafting, little did I know what began as a hobby would quickly became an escape from reality + a way to keep my mind busy. In 2018 our then 16 month old son was diagnosed with a form of childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma. After 6 months of treatment + one successful surgery, he was determined cancer free in 2019. With extreme gratitude towards a hospital who had given us such incredible care I shifted my goals + focused my energy on the ability to give back. This is when Little Press Co. really began to take shape.
Sadly, in March of 2021, he relapsed. In that moment I was somehow able to take my negative energy + transform it into something I am so incredibly proud of. In September of 2021 he rang the radiation bell to signify the end of frontline treatment + was thought to be in remission. That is until August of 2022 when new growth was discovered. He is currently in treatment for the third time + is the definition of a true super hero. This page is a way for me to give back to a hospital we love, it is also a way for me to mentally navigate life as an oncology Mom.
In 2021, the very first year of actively contributing sales to The CHEO Foundation, we were able to donate over 55,000$ for cancer research + care at CHEO! I know I cannot change the world, but truly believe every little bit helps.
I can't thank you enough for being here, thank you for stopping by ✨
