Welcome to Laurel and Laverne. My name is Katie and I am a mom of two young kids and a wife of an incredibly brilliant and kind man. I created this shop as a side hustle to help pay off credit card debt we originally began having while my son was in the NICU for a few months. He was born 11 weeks prematurely. It has been 7 years and we've been battling credit card debt ever since.
My family has declared war on debt. As we gradually trudge through operation financial freedom, I have created this outlet for me to be creative and have fun while selling super cute clothes, accessories and other fun items.
I have a Master's degree in marketing so that has helped me walk through the more technical portions of this e-commerce journey. Outside of working my 9am-5pm and my 9pm-11pm (which is working this e-commerce platform), I enjoy hanging with my family. We love supporting the Texas Rangers and going to baseball games. We love just hanging out at the house listening to good music and playing outside.
My shop is named after my grandfather, Laurel Glynn Ellis, and my grandfather-in-law, Johnny Laverne Joiner. They were both incredible entrepreneurs and strong men of God that I look up to with a deep respect and love. They have passed on from life on this earth, but I hope I can make this business successful to make them proud.
