mompreneurs two peas

Twin boys and a baby accessory were the inspiration behind starting two peas in October 2007. Crystal Maus tried several baby carriers before she came across the Moby wrap, a baby carrying system that was comfortable, stylish and versatile. No one in the FM area carried the Moby and Crystal began sharing her new find with other moms. Crystal soon turned to Geneva Noah, an acquaintance from work, when the need for models for the Moby arose. An inspired first time mom herself, Geneva also had many ideas for unique, yet practical baby accessories. In fact, the spontaneous eruptions from her daughter who suffered from acid reflux prompted the idea and design behind the Boobie Bib a better burp cloth and nursing aid. After months of discussion, Crystal and Geneva joined forces and combined their resources, their love of talking and sharing among other moms and their creative ideas and passion to form two peas, llc.

Being at home with little ones will quickly prove there is no such thing as a typical day! Routine is important but the ability to be home with them has allowed for a lot of “going with the flow.” Days are filled with dress up, play dates, meal prep and clean up. Nap times are often reserved for sewing or fulfilling two peas orders. Evenings are mostly for family time—and the occasional hour or two of sewing! It’s definitely a balancing act, but our kids always come first. It took a while to get into the rhythm of being at home: learning the Sesame Street programming schedule, finding time to clean, make meals, think of creative play activities and carry on
