Welcome to Fidget-Wear.
I’d like to introduce myself—my name is Emily, and I’m the creator of Fidget-Wear clothing. The journey to this point has been a wild one—full of ups and downs, challenges, and lessons. While I originally created Fidget-Wear clothing as a mom, so much more has gone into its evolution.
My boys, I have three, always laugh when they hear stories about my husband and me before we were married, before we had kids. Kids often only see us in the roles they know—parents as just moms and dads, teachers as only teachers. In some ways, I had even forgotten that I was someone before becoming a mom. But life has shaped me through its good, bad, beautiful, and ugly moments, and all of those experiences have influenced not only who I am but also what Fidget-Wear clothing has and will become.
Bringing Fidget-Wear clothing to the world has been a journey of learning—so much learning—self-reflection, and personal growth. I’m passionate about this brand, not just for the physical products but for the vision of what it will become and the journeys it will be a part of as people like you take it along for the ride. I hope the sleeves of Fidget-Wear clothing are used to wipe away tears and even snotty noses. I hope Fidget-Wear hoodies get tossed onto bleachers before running off to join a game of soccer. I hope they get covered in mud—because everyone needs to get muddy at least once in their life. I hope Fidget-Wear clothing brings comfort when it’s needed most and provides a sense of security in this chaotic world. I have even fell into the trap, “oh, it’s just a hoodie” but it’s not. Fidget-Wear hoodies can be so much more for kids, teens, and even adults who need it.
We’re often told to separate business from personal life. But for me, I can’t. Fidget-Wear is personal. It was created for my boys—born out of real need and real struggle. I have to admit, parenthood has been nothing like what I imagined, and at times, I’ve felt completely cut off from the world. I’ll be honest—sharing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the world is new to me and definitely out of my comfort zone. I’ve never been big on social media or putting my life out there. But I’ll do it anyway, because it is my story, it is the story of why and how Fidget-Wear clothing has come to be.
Some of my stories will be lighthearted and silly; others will be raw and honest. I’ll try to give you a heads-up—so if you’re at work, you might want to wait before reading the ones that might bring tears.
Life isn’t always happy and fun and that’s okay, but it should be balanced. Often others ask to only be part of the good times but Fidget-Wear clothing is created for the harder times. The times when anxiety strikes, the times when our kiddos may need extra support making it through the school day, and the times when we just need to inject a little calm so that we are able to take the bad with the good, and keep going. That’s the journey. And I hope Fidget-Wear clothing can be a small part of yours.
