Bluefireflies, LLC is a small, Momma-owned business located in northern Minnesota. We have three children with special needs who have faced learning barriers that could have been addressed through customized learning and specific sensory tools. However, we were unable to find the services and products (we now provide) that we were looking for.
Rather than giving up, Amber chose to buckle down, learn to sew, and create products to help them. Over time, those creations turned into a small business that now helps not only our family, but others. Our long-term goal is that this business will continue to grow, help families like ours, and become a career option for our children. We are so excited to share our knowledge through our beautifully crafted handmade products, our family-friendly blog, and our Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook profiles. Thank you for supporting Bluefireflies and our family.
