Celebrating Moms Who Inspire Us: 5 Incredible Mom-Run Brands We Love

Mother’s Day is a time to honor the heart, hustle, and love that moms pour into everything they do — including the incredible businesses they build. At Shirley Bredal, we’re proud to celebrate and support fellow mompreneurs who are making waves with creativity, passion, and purpose. Here are five amazing mom-run businesses we follow, admire, and truly love:

1. @droppsbyszhirley

 If you’re into vibrant, hand-crafted earrings that make a statement, Dropps by Szhirley is your go-to. Each piece reflects bold individuality and joyful self-expression — just like the incredible mom behind the brand.


2. @sweet_as_april 

Sweet As April is all about her signature bonnets that add timeless charm to any little one’s wardrobe. April’s beautifully curated aesthetic and attention to detail shine through in every stitch, making her pieces the kind you’ll want to pass down for generations.

3. @shotfromtheheart_kids

Shot From The Heart is a deeply heartfelt photography studio run by a mother of five, who works alongside her daughter to beautifully capture the magic of early motherhood and childhood. Their work is full of warmth, softness, and connection — each image tells a story. We’ve even had the joy of collaborating with them, and their talent and heart shine through in every frame.

4. @happylabtoys

Happy Lab Toys is where creativity meets comfort — a mom-run brand that creates beautiful, handcrafted dolls and easy-to-follow sewing patterns for fellow makers. Her designs encourage imaginative play and offer a gentle introduction to the joy of sewing, making them a hit with both kids and crafty parents.

Forest Clay Ceramics is the work of a talented ceramic artist and mom who creates stunning, nature-inspired pieces by hand. From mugs and bowls to vases and keepsakes, her work reflects a quiet, earthy elegance. Every piece feels like a little moment of calm — something to be used, loved, and cherished.
