A lot of you have asked where did The Burning Ivy come from what does it even mean? So I wanted to shed light onto what The Burning Ivy is to us!
To begin with the Ivy plant has so many benefits more then it gets credit for.
But first…
We started this business, yes because we’ve always loved plants and it brings us happiness but we actually started out making candles in our tiny kitchen. While I would make homemade candles & wax when I would get home from work, the kids would help me in the kitchen. I fell in love with the feeling of my kids learning a new trade, it was them giggling and saying mmmmm momma this one smells so good!
It quickly turned into so much more when my kids said “momma lets get a lot of Senor' Bob and Spicy Senerittas (our cactus’s) and let people in Laramie make them! We would buy succulents and cactus and the kids would make little terrariums!!
I knew as a mother I had this goal, the goal to be able to homeschool to be able to be there for my kids as much as possible. I’ve always wanted to live as organic and teach my kids this way. After all this is what the Lord had put on my heart.
I’ve always wanted my own business. I didn’t want it to get rich, I wanted it because of the freedom. The freedom to make my own rules, the freedom to be there for my kids on sick days, sports, doctors appointments and so much more. The freedom of not being held back! That was my getting “rich” the little things and being my own BOSS.
While on the way back from my middle sons bull riding lesson down in Colorado. It was brought up again. I could hear the excitement in everyone’s voice along with myself but I had a fear. The fear I would fail. But when I heard my kids say “mommy can be with us all of the time now” hit so hard!
I remembered 2 Timothy 1:7
(For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and of sound mind.)
I give so much credit to my husband and my kids they are the brains behind our little store!
When it was time for a name we brained stormed and came up with The Burning Ivy because my daughters name is Ivy but it wasn’t just about her, you see the Ivy leaf typically has three points of the leaf so to us that represents all three kids! The Ivy plant has the benefit to heal bodies if used properly, just like my kids,husband and the Lord did for me! The Burning comes from the beginning of our story of making candle's! The beginning of something so sweet.
