‘Tis the time of the year as we are only minutes away from Small Business Saturday after what was a busy Black Friday for many! Personally, I’m not a Black Friday shopper because I like avoiding the crowds, so Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are much more my speed! So I figured I’d show you who some of my favorite shops to support are. These are mostly small businesses who are women- and family-owned, who are also parents while hustling, and who product wonderful products for their clients.

My Top 10 Shops for Small Business:

1. Clover & Birch - Atlanta-based, woman-owned, Waldorf- & Montessori-inspired handmade wooden toys. And she’s my bestie, plus you’ll find me in the shop couple times a week.

2. Canyon Leaf - California-based, woman-owned, handmade amber jewelry. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous and you’re going to want one of each, the healing properties are bountiful.

3. Northern Light Photography - Atlanta-based, woman-owned photography for all of your needs, lifestyle, family, birth, wedding, and more.

4. Lucky & Lovely Shop - Atlanta-based, woman-owned chic T-shirts, accessories, and more.

5. Meraki Mama Collective - Atlanta-based, woman-owned premier studio for prenatal and postpartum yoga, childbirth education, doula, and community.

6. Elizabeth Roses Photography - Atlanta-based, woman-run luxury boudoir photography studio that will make you feel worthy of the photographs you take.

7. Trinity Fitness North Cobb - Kennesaw-based, woman-run group fitness gym with a positive approach to physical and spiritual goals.

8. The Hair Bar Woodstock - Woodstock-based, women-owned hair studio with a warm and inviting atmosphere to make your best self shine through.

9. Hemp Dog - Atlanta-based, family-run CBD treats and pet supplies

10. Doula Trainings International - Austin-based, women-run certifying body and professional community of doulas, childbirth educators, and lactation specialists.

Obviously, I could go on and on for a while about all the awesome shops and business owners I love and admire. I encourage you to support your local businesses, to shop small and make someone’s family’s day because it is very much true that someone is doing a little dance when you place an order. Myself, included! <3
