About Us

Hi! My name is Julie and this is my beautiful family that I feel so lucky to call mine.  

We live in Lake Orion, Michigan and our children attend Rochester Schools. I am a mom of three- Brady (9), Hudson (8), and Teagan (6). Yes, we are busy! Before I started Sweet Mitten Dreams, I worked as a Campus Recruiter for an accounting firm. It was everything I dreamed of when I graduated with my Human Resources degree from Central Michigan University. This is also were I met my husband, Danny. We have been married for 13 years and we don't really remember our lives without kids. :)

Five years ago, Danny's family business was sold and he became a full-time stay at home parent. I know what you are thinking, how nice! It was, until Covid happened and changed our lives forever. 

During the pandemic, we thought it would be fun to create something for our kids to enjoy movie nights, rest times, and play. Since we were "camping out" for a few months we thought, what about tents? Danny cut the wood, I sewed the fabric, and our first set of tents were created. I was so excited and couldn't wait for their reaction... they absolutely loved them! It was the first time in awhile I had seen some excitement to experience something new and make days at home a little more special. 

Soon after, friends and family reached out asking about the tents and whether or not they were for sale. A light bulb went off in our heads and we thought this may be something. We worked on a few tent themes- camp out, superheros, unicorns- and had friends and family members try them out and they were a hit! 

This is when Sweet Mitten Dreams was officially born. July 2020.

Fast forward to today, and we are served over 1K clients, hit 6 figures in sales, and have been featured in reputable magazines, features, and on the local news!

We know our entrepreneurial journey wouldn't be a success if it weren't for our clients- so we thank you for all of the support!

We encourage you to follow our journey on Facebook and Instagram- @sweetmittendreams.

Whether you are ready now, or could consider this product for a friend or family member's child, our goal is to fill your homes with laughter, memories, and fun! 

Thanks for visiting our website and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you.  

Themes & Dreams, Julie
