Moms We Love: Kristin Smith of Lena and Lovely

How did you get started making the baby blocks?

I was always into crafts. My grandmother Nena, whom my daughter is named after, was the craftiest person ever! She made everything for us. When I was a little girl, I always loved helping her.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was home a lot. I’m a paramedic, and I work in an emergency room. I couldn’t work in the ER while I was pregnant. It was during the winter time, and I kept thinking to myself, “What am I going to do?” I got into making crafts again, and somehow started making baby blocks. People loved them, so it was a good incentive for me to keep on going!
