The name beesandmarie has always been close to my heart because it was inspired by my daughters. My first two girls both had names that began with the letter “B,” and years later, when my third daughter came along, her name included “Marie.” Putting their names together just felt right, and from that, beesandmarie was born. It wasn’t planned to be clever or trendy—just a simple way to carry a piece of each of them with me.
Years ago, when we had an online store, I used the name beesandmarie for the very first time. I loved how it sounded and how much meaning was packed into it, even though no one would know the story behind it unless I shared it. The name stuck with me long after the store was gone because it felt like more than just a label—it was a piece of my family’s story woven into something creative.
Now, beesandmarie has found new life as the name of this blog. And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with honeybees—it’s really about my daughters and the way their names blended together into something that still makes me smile. This space is just another way for me to grow, share, and create, while keeping the people I love most at the heart of it all.
