Sarah and Sarah met at a weekly suburban playgroup, presumably in the Chicago area.

Here is how they conceived their first book:

After celebrating first birthdays for their first-borns and having their second babies come along, they found themselves buying gifts all the time… and seemed to gravitate toward the personalized ones. So, they started Custom Made For Kids and made their first personalized children’s book, The First Adventures of Incredible You.

Thank you for this awesome giveaway!

They first met while socializing their 6 mos olds at the same playgroup. As time passed and they had other children, and realized that their favorite gifts to receive (and the ones most appreciated when given) were personalized. Custom Made For Kids was born of the this desire to give thoughtful and meaningful gifts. Thank you for this giveaway, and child (and his/her) parents would love it, I know my little guy would.
