About Great Lakes Littles

Hi, I’m Sydnie. In 2021, my husband, Justin, and I welcomed our first daughter, Bexley, into the world. Shortly after, my obsession over bamboo clothing grew, not only for my newborn but for myself! A short eighteen months later, our second baby girl, Brooks, was born. Upon returning to work for the second time, I found myself in a position that I’m sure most parents have felt before; guilt, anxiety, fear of missing out. So, I quit my job as a law enforcement officer after nearly six years and dove headfirst into being a fulltime stay at home parent. My love for bamboo continued to grow and I discovered that my sister-in-law, Samantha, also shared this hobby. After many conversations and hours of research, Great Lakes Littles came to existence! Hello, I’m Samantha. In 2021, my husband, Cole, and I had also had a daughter, Peyton. I worked as a receptionist for a short time after she was born, but quickly realized I wanted to be a stay at home parent. Fast forward to 2024, we had our son, Jensen. While being home, I’ve done different side jobs, but nothing was ever very fulfilling until now! We have so many hopes and dreams for this little company and can’t wait to share it all with all of you! We’re ready for this journey and excited to conquer the business world as sisters, mothers, and entrepreneurs. Yours truly, Sydnie & Samantha Read their story
