Our Name

My name is Heather, and I am the owner and founder of Pure Joy. I'd like to share with you a little story that is very personal to my family. My grandmother was married for 17 years before she found out she was expecting her first child. They waited for so long. I cannot imagine the anticipation they must have felt. Grandpa really wanted to have a son. I am sure Grandma was just excited to hold her long awaited baby in her arms. The time was getting closer to meeting their little one.

Full term pregnancy and labor progressed. Then finally a baby boy was delivered.....but as a still born. Devastation.... Beyond what I can only imagine. Soon after, at 40 years old, she became pregnant again and this time delivered a healthy baby girl. Her mother named her Joyce, because she was the joy of her life since she lived. I learned this story in the hospital after choosing to give my new baby girl the middle name Joy, after my mom. And my little girl is now the joy of my life.

Life is too short to not appreciate all the little things. The time we spend with loved ones. The efforts we make to share love and kindness with everyone around us. It truly is all about appreciating the little things that brings us pure joy.
