Level Up "Mom Hack": Two shirt method for breastfeeding. Layer a tank and shirt when dressing yourself. When ready to feed baby, pull tank down below breast, lift top shirt above breast and latch baby. Can't see a thing and no cover needed!
Favorite Kiln Coffee Bar Drink: Iced Matcha
SUNDI - VISUAL MERCHANDISER & ONLINE FULFILLMENT SPECIALIST
What she really does: If you walk in the store and think it looks nice inside, you can thank Sundi. She places the products in beautiful settings all while trying to make it easy for you to shop and peruse the store. In the wee hours of the morning (you know, like 8am) she gets all of our online orders pulled, packed and shipped out with a personal note! Want your online order gift wrapped? That's not a problem, she does that, too!

Favorite Colorado Baby Product: For mom- Itzy Ritzy Boss Plus Diaper Bag; For baby- Saranoni Lush Blankets
Level Up "Mom Hack": Use an over the door hanging shoe organizer to organize all of your baby’s things. It is especially great if you don’t have a lot of storage space.
Favorite Kiln Coffee Bar Drink: Vanilla Latte (always extra hot)!
KACI - OPERATIONS SPECIALIST
What she really does: Gets the sneak peeks at what's coming into the store shhhh. She keeps the products on the site up-to-date and easy to search/shop for. She also helps with project management and design work, as needed.

Dream Job: This is tough. Maybe an event director, or something with people and planning and FUN!
Favorite Colorado Baby Product: Gotta say, we sure love our Sshlumpie over here. And as a momma, I love everything Earth Mama- especially the nipple butter.
Level Up "Mom Hack": When your toddler REALLY wants something from a store but you can’t buy it now, a helpful tip is to take a picture of it. I say, “shoot! You really want that toy. I’ll take a picture of it so I can remember the next time we are ready to buy more!” I do actually take the picture. And I often send the picture to family and friends when birthdays and holidays roll around. It also helps weed out the really important ones. My toddler has only remembered one item and we did go back and buy it at a later time.
Favorite Kiln Coffee Bar Drink: Oat Milk Mocha
MEGAN - THE GLUE
What she really does: Curates the products for the store, files payroll, maintains our social networks, runs our First Access Insiders text group (text her to join! 970-387-7844), teaches our Cloth Diapering Simplified classes, provides a baby every couple of years for our R&D department, works on the sales floor and interacts 1-on-1 with our lovely customers.

Number of Kids: 8
Dream Job: Oh I'm definitely living it but I'm constantly trying to improve it and make it even more what I love. For example, I hate being bogged down with administrative tasks like payroll, bookkeeping, following up on phone calls, managing my email inbox, etc. My dream job would be to get those totally off my plate so I can focus on the aspects of the business I REALLY love: steering the ship, interacting with customers, teaching, picking out products for the store and coming up with new ideas and offerings.
Favorite Colorado Baby Product: Hands down my Boba wrap. I'm not enamored with anything else to the degree I am with my Boba wrap.
Level Up "Mom Hack": My kids (that can dress themselves) have about 7 days worth of clothes in rotation. It keeps me on top of laundry and the clutter in their rooms down.
Favorite Kiln Coffee Bar Drink: Depends on the season but I'll forever be a fan of a Chai Latte (extra chai!) or Iced Matcha (whole milk).
