The Birth of MiNi Lee's: Dreams Do Come True

Believe it or not, the creation of Mini Lee's began almost 5 years ago. Just like most new moms, Jennifer and Toni struggled with the decision to return to work after starting their families. Business ideas were tossed around, and at the time, the dream of running their own business remained just a dream for the sisters.

Jennifer, a special education teacher, took some time off in 2004 to stay home with her first daughter, Emma Kate. It wasn't long before she returned to teaching, but she kept her hours to part-time, so her schedule could be more flexible for her daughter.

Toni, an interior designer, returned to work immediately after her first child, Zoe Glynn, was born in 2006. The one-hour commute (one-way) made it even more difficult for Toni to be absent from her little one.

Within the next 2 years, Jennifer gave birth to Addison Paige, and Toni brought the only grandson, Cooper James, into the family. Yet again, the sisters continued the discussion of starting a business together. With 4 children between the two, time is not always on their side. Regardless, Jennifer and Toni made the leap and started MiNi Lee's, which was named in honor and memory of their grandmother, Minnie Lee Dear.

Many days, work doesn't even begin until after the babies are snuggled in bed. Fortunately, Jennifer and Toni's husbands, Brian and Mark, respectively, are supportive and encouraging the sisterly duo to succeed. So far, business has been great, and the FUN has BEGUN!

Welcome to MiNi Lee's. We are dedicated to our dream come true. It was definitely worth the wait!

We are full of ideas and excited to create for you!
