Baby-Carrier Business Keeps Mom Close To Her Children
What started as an easy elective class at Oostburg High School turned into a home-based business for Lisa Johnson.
That sewing class gave the Lawrence mother of three young daughters the skills to create baby carriers at home that she sells from her Web site.
“I work at home. My girls are my first priority,” Johnson said. “That comes second.”
Johnson didn’t have an interest in sewing from the start.
“Everybody took home ec because it was an easy class,” she said.
Still, she didn’t anticipate using those skills as a way to make money.
“It’s not something I ever thought I’d be into when I got older,” she said.
Yet, it came easy to her.
“I’m glad it did because now it’s working out for me.”
Johnson said she works on her business when her children are asleep or her husband, Adam, keeps an eye on Kennedy, 3; Lauren, 2; and Brooklyn, 1.
“Being able to do something at home and work around them is probably the most wonderful thing in the world,” she said.
