About Us
It all started with a wish! Two best friends who had a dream to have a full-time job doing something they loved to do TOGETHER! One with a funky side—think rock bands and guitars, and the other who loved the frills—think pink and lace! Two husbands, five kids, and four dogs later, La-Di-Das was born. Everything happened so fast that it’s hard to define the exact moment that the idea became reality, but we are thankful everyday that we made it happen! It must have been hundreds of cups of coffee and many miles on the treadmill together when it began to bloom. We love dreaming up ideas that incorporate both of our styles, and we look forward to all the future has to offer!

I spent many years in corporate America, and a few of those years were spent with Jaime. I’m a wife and a mom to two incredible boys. My husband is my rock and has always given me support and encouragement, no matter how crazy he thinks my ideas are! My boys, well one is almost a man at 16 and the other is terrorizing the neighborhood at almost 4. In 2007, I left the 9-5 rat race to stay home with my family. However, in 2008, I discovered I could do both, and I opened an online retail boutique, Giggle Bug Boutique. Inspired by my drive to dress myself, my kids and even my pets in fun and funky styles, we are still growing strong today. You may have guessed I am the funky side of this house. Where fashion meets funk is where you’ll find me. Jaime is my best friend and I am excited everyday to work beside her. I never grow tired of creating and dreaming with her or being inspired by her!

Jaime
First and foremost I am a wife and a very busy mom to a five year-old and three year-old twins. My family is the light of my life and I’ve learned so much from each one of them! My husband is able to put up with me and all my crazy ideas and passions so he is definitely worth keeping! My boys are typical boys always catching creatures that they want to bring indoors, wrestling, and wanting to dress like they are on rock band with tattoos and mohawks—I’m learning to deal with that and Nicki is helping my find my funky side. Then there is my little princess—I prayed for a girlie-girl and she couldn’t be any closer to a true diva! She loves tutus, babies, and most of all the color pink! La-Di-Das is truly a dream come true for me. I love being able to finally share my creative side and be able to do it alongside my best friend!
