I have always aspired to be an entrepreneur and started my own small business doing event planning and printing/making custom invitations, using thermography, at 18 years old. I stopped shortly after so that I could focus on my family and complete my college degree. I knew I had a passion to get back into business but have had many obstacles along the way. The earliest of which was a heart attack

After many hospital visits, countless tests, and endless specialist appointments these last few weeks, I've realized it's time to close the Local Merch storefront and will do so at the end of September.
This is one of the hardest choices I've had to make, but I know it's the right one.
I am deeply grateful for each of you- for believing in me, supporting me, and helping me build something so special. This isn't the end, it's a shift- the next chapter of our story, one we are still writing together.
With greater flexibility, I'II be able to focus on my health and hopefully continue supporting this community through customization projects, gift boxes, and perhaps, new opportunities. Please don't hesitate to reach out and stay connected.

🌟 Small business. Big impact.
We loved creating shirts for Andrea at as she gets ready to host her upcoming Middle School Summer Strength Camp for 6th–8th graders. 💪

As a mom of 3, small business owner, and ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Andrea pours her heart into building a space where everyone—kids, women, and even the occasional brave dad—feels strong, supported, and part of something bigger. 💛

This is what community looks like: women empowering women, businesses lifting each other up, and kids learning to move with confidence.

Sunday was full of sunshine, smiles, and amazing people at our Mega Market — and by Monday, I was checked into the hospital for neuroscience studies. Yep, life really knows how to keep you on your toes!

For those who knew I was heading in, thank you so much for your support. For those who didn’t — surprise! This is Day 2, and I finally felt up to sharing an update. After my heart attack three years ago and everything that’s followed, I’m not giving up on finding answers — or the best shot at the best quality of life.

Being vulnerable isn’t easy, but this community makes it worth it. I stay as present as I can in my business because I truly love what I do — and to say thank you, we’re kicking off a BIG MAY GIVEAWAY in honor of:
