AUGUST 2021 PUBLISHER
Emily Barlow | emily.barlow@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR
Kiddos and Pets, A Perfect Pairing I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO OUR DOG COVER CONTEST. It’s so fun to read all the entries that dog-adoring families send in—and don’t even get me started on the cute photos. Our cover dog winner this year, Sandy, was a service dog-intraining with 4 Paws for Ability, a program that enriches the lives of children who have disabilities. As this is our kids and pets issue, it seemed very fitting that Sandy came out as top dog. Congratulations, Sandy! We always feature a dog on this month’s cover, but this year, we thought it would be fun to spotlight a few other pets out there who are not quite as common. We reached out to PetCare Animal Hospital, and Drs. Hill and Zola shared some fun facts and photos of their more unique patients. Not all the animals featured are pets, but each patient came to the right place—the doctors at PetCare Animal Hospital specialize in exotic animals in addition to dogs and cats. Hope you enjoy learning a little more about these cute creatures.

We have some inspiring kiddo stories for you, too, this issue. Laurie Moher, a Bloom Family Designs partner, reached out to me—and once she shared the details of how this nonprofit was helping a local family who were adopting twins from Haiti, I knew we had to cover the story. Bloom Family Designs helps ease the stress for adoptive and foster parents by offering their room design (or redesign) services. Read Help by Design to see how they transformed the twins’ future bedroom into a beautiful new space.

Rebecca and Todd Wilber own 12 Taco Bell locations around the Greater Cincinnati area— during the spring, their store personnel asked patrons for donations to The Heroes’ Fund. The results? Their Loveland location raised the highest amount, Lebanon came in 2nd, with Beckett Ridge raising the third highest. What a salute to those who serve! CaringLikeAngelsAndHeroes.com

After taking a culture, the boa was prescribed a round of antibiotics in order to help restore him to good health. Full grown, this big boy could measure up to 10-feet long.

Despite his mousy ears and fluffy tail, this furry fellow is actually a member of the marsupial family—he’s a possum to be exact, one that’s arboreal (meaning they live in trees). But what really sets this Australian creature apart from his nocturnal brethren is his ability to sail through the air—launching from a tree, spreading his limbs, he can glide up to 150 feet ... making it easy for him to travel from tree to tree to savor sap and nectar (hence the name).

WITH SMALL ONES IN MIND, THREE LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE MAKING A BIG IMPACT
K AT I E K R U I T H O F YEAH BABY GOODS “I loved the IKEA high chair we used for our kids,” Katie says. “But the cushion it came with was not at all my style. For years, I told my sewing friends they should start a business making home-décorfriendly covers.” When she wasn’t able to convince any of those friends to take the lead, she decided to just do it herself. Things took off quickly—Katie’s business, Yeah Baby Goods, began selling cushion covers and coordinating silicone tray placemats in 2016. Just last year, she reports, this Loveland local’s biz sold products to about 50,000 customers. “When we first started Yeah Baby Goods, our goal was twofold—make the IKEA high chair cuter and cleanup easier,” Katie says. “As we dove into the world of high chairs, our intentions expanded. High chair makeovers are fun, but safety is most important. We worked with feeding experts and occupational therapists to design products that also assisted in proper eating positioning.” Katie offers common-sense advice for anyone else starting a business. “Instead of stressing about growing your reach, focus on growing your relationships. People want to hear your story, see your face, support a real person. When you take the time to connect with your customers, they’ll want to help build your business.” YeahBabyGoods.com

H O L LY Y O U N G PUZZLE PIECES – A SENSORY SENSATION At Puzzle Pieces, an on-site sensory room provides a calming atmosphere, one stocked with products customers can touch and feel before purchasing—all created to provide a guilt-free shopping experience, in an environment that welcomes all explorers. “I was driven to create Puzzle Pieces from a desire to see and hold things that my son needed—without having to purchase them first to try them with him,” Holly says. It was important for her nonverbal autistic son to have a place where he could explore on his own, and then show her what he liked. “When I couldn’t find that, I decided to create it.” Puzzle Pieces opened its doors on Montgomery Road in 2018, and helps about 1,500 families annually—some with kids on the autism spectrum or with special needs, others just looking for great gift ideas. “We see an average of five new families per day ... it adds up.” “I never dreamed it would be me that would fill this void,” Holly says, today. “I’m more than happy to say that it is—and I haven’t looked back. Meeting and helping families just like mine is my whole ‘why.’” The store also offers monthly informational get-togethers with special guests. But there’s more—Holly is also currently creating a nonprofit to employ those with disabilities and operate alongside Puzzle Pieces. PuzzlePiecesOhio.com CONTINUED >

Since 2018, CASA Design Consulting has helped families realize the benefits of mindful surroundings in their homes. Backed by masters of education, Aubrey and Christine’s child development expertise allows them to make choices for a child’s environment that supports his or her needs, as well as maximize their ability to be independent and self-sufficient—child-specific add-ons include Book Rotation, Craft Organization, and setup for a homeschooling learning environment. The team is already launching consulting relationships with clients in other states, and recently kicked off an online workshop series. “We’re hoping to use that platform to further help and support parents through all the highs and lows of parenting,” Aubrey and Christine say. But their greatest joy? The connections they’ve built with families—especially those who become returning clients. “We love learning how children play differently and are more independent,” they share. “Knowing that we leave our clients prepared with strategies to maintain the feeling they gain from our work is even more rewarding than seeing how beautiful our space transformations are.” CasaDesignConsulting.com

ALTHOUGH LEISHA LYMAN GREW UP “PLAYING STORE” AT HER GRANDMA’S BOUTIQUE IN PIQUA, SHE NEVER IMAGINED SHE’D HAVE ONE OF HER OWN. That is, until The Busy Bee Boutique opportunity presented itself. Leisha, along with her brother- and sister-in-law, saw the potential of keeping The Busy Bee open when the original owner was moving out of town. “We recognized The Busy Bee Boutique as a successful shop with a loyal customer base that needed to remain part of the Loveland area,” she says.

“Small businesses are an important element to what makes 06
a community thrive—and we wanted to contribute to that.” While the shop continues to carry a variety of all-occasion gifts—including some of the same brands that have always been there—Leisha has also introduced new products from other small or independent retailers. “I personally love to feature homemade, unique and local products from women- or family-owned businesses you can’t find on Amazon. We want customers to know when
