Originally from Fresno, CA, the northwest became home to Megan and her family in the summer of 1994, a few months prior to her entering the sixth grade. Though the climate was less appealing to the usually barefooted free spirit, she laced up her cleats to field short hops at second base in a sport that eventually earned her all league honors in high school. Megan was as a sophomore when she met husband Michael, marking the beginning of an arm wrestling rivalry in which she remains undefeated.

The two stayed local during college with Megan choosing Seattle Pacific University for its interior design program, a decision she says helped develop her unique style. And it was ultimately this style that inspired Earth Babies, though not for another few years.
Upon graduating college Megan and Michael were married before spending a month exploring Hawaii, both above and below water. Just midway through the honeymoon Megan began her strategy for her next ambition: getting a dog. Having chosen to nanny in avoidance of dress codes and bad traffic, she had the perfect puppy schedule and within months the newlyweds adopted Charlie, a 5 lb Yorkie mix and fabulous assistant. The inter-species duo became so efficient together that, despite watching 4 children under 4 years old, Megan was able to hand-make her baby blankets.

In fact, Megan's first blanket was sewn as a baby shower gift for her own childhood nanny and best friend. But starting a business had never been part of the original plan and it took some convincing. Two years, to be exact. It was not until Megan and Michael started to plan parenthood that Earth Babies was born. It is the perfect creative outlet for Megan's artistic personality and keeps her close to what she loves--kids.

Currently Megan lives in Snoqualmie, WA and spends her free time perfecting the
culinary arts, a past time often combined with an affinity for reality television. After
becoming a homeowner in 2007, the avid yogi considers her ethnic, earth toned
dwelling "domestic art." But it is her social and environmental consciousness that
makes Megan, a true earth baby.
