**One Hip Mom 1991-2025: It’s Been a Heck of a Ride**
💛In May of 1991, I kicked off an amazing adventure when I said “I do” to my wonderful husband! Just a few months later, my mom and I launched what would become our oh-so-loved venture, One Hip Mom. Over the years, we traveled to so many exciting gift and holiday markets, and those experiences have been absolutely thrilling!
As the years unfolded, my mom retired, and I took a leap of faith, opening a storefront on Spring Cypress in 2013. For 33 exhilarating years, my life has been filled with the energy of running this business. As I prepare to embrace a new chapter, I’ll carry all the cherished memories in my heart forever.
The true treasure of this adventure has been the remarkable friendships and connections forged along the way. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such a fantastic team of hardworking women—too many to name, but you know who you are! A heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Antar for joining me over 7 years ago and making such a profound impact. You are the perfect counterpart. You promised to stick by my side until the end, and you delivered!
A special thanks to my mom, Emily, whose vision sparked this journey. We could never have imagined it lasting over 30 years. Her mantra was to keep going until it was no longer fun. And, of course, my deepest appreciation goes to my husband, Kent. You have been my biggest cheerleader, always there to lend a hand with the heavy lifting, and deliveries, and letting me borrow money when we’d run a lil’ short. As I wrap up this rewarding chapter, I know the memories we created together will shine brightly in my heart forever! Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey!
Looking ahead, I’m excited to spend more quality time with my sweet grandbabies. I’ll also be teaming up with Kent in his mortgage business. If you’re in the market for a mortgage, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! Who knows what exciting things the future holds? Maybe you’ll even see us at future holiday markets! Thank you all for every time you stopped by our store or shopped with us at the markets. None of this would have been possible without your support! 🩷
