My Why

Katie’s Pop-Up Slumbies, a fun and unique TWIST on the traditional sleepover. Personal tents, lighting, mattress and decor to name a few are inches away from sleepover paradise. There’s add-ons to make the ultimate slumbie custom to your taste. Now for my reason behind the creations...

I wish I had a big sob story to tell you as my big reason “why”, but I don’t. It’s simple, my family, my kids. After the last few years we've all had to endure without option, trying our best to learn, to live and to manage our altered lifestyles throughout a global pandemic. During living through COVID, it really put a damper on everyone, our kids especially. I have 3 children, 2 boys and a girl all under 7 years of age and one special needs, so you can only imagine how difficult it's been adjusting to the new norms. 

We had to put a twist on everything that came natural to us. Making forts, turning the house upside down for obstacle courses, inventing new games that made absolutely no sense, we literally had to put  a twist on EVERYTHING.

The major downside was that my kids were really missing their friends and constantly hunting for that social interaction. So I thought, why not try and help kids/teens reconnect those friendships and get back into social situations with people the same age so we can remember our normal, as this pandemic comes to an end.
