The Ivory Wren & Company

07/07/2026

Effective immediately, The Ivory Wren & Company will be closed until further notice.

If you have recently completed a maternity buy back with us, please do not worry. I will be reaching out to you to schedule a time for pick up.

When I opened this shop, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I knew introducing a maternity and postpartum resale boutique to our community would take time. I knew I was stepping into a market that was already dominated by online shopping and big box retailers. But I also believed that moms deserved a place where they felt seen, supported, and celebrated.

From the very beginning, this business has been built with my whole heart.

What I didn’t fully prepare myself for was just how much of myself I would pour into it.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been trying to balance two jobs, raising children, trying to be the wife and mom my family deserves, packing up our home, renovating another, and squeezing whatever spare minute I had left into keeping the shop running. I’ve adjusted hours, worked around unpredictable schedules, answered messages late at night, and tried so hard to make this work because I truly believed in what we were building.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something.

I’ve spent so much time encouraging other moms to slow down, prioritize themselves, and practice self care that I completely forgot to take my own advice.

The truth is, I’m exhausted.

Not because I don’t love this business—I absolutely do. Not because of this amazing community—you have been more supportive than I ever imagined. But because I comply cannot continue pouring from an empty cup.

Owning a small business is beautiful, but it’s also incredibly difficult. The reality of competing with online retailers and big box stores is something many small businesses are facing every day, and unfortunately, we are no exception. There comes a point where passion alone isn’t enough to sustain a business, no matter how much you want to do it.

So for now, I’m choosing to pause. I need to take a step back and evaluate what the future looks like for us. During this time, I’ll be reviewing our business model, thinking through what I truly want this business to be, and deciding whether or not it’s something that can continue long term.

I don’t know what the answer is yet.

Whether this is simply a pause before a fresh start or the closing of this chapter, I want every single one of you to know how incredibly thankful I am. Every purchase, every kind comment, every share, every recommendation, every conversation in the shop—you made this dream possible. You have this business slide, and I’ll never be able to express how much that has meant to me.

Please continue to follow our page for updates as I take this time to reflect and decide what comes next.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this business.

📣 Hello, July! ☀️🇺🇸

As we prepare to wrap up another incredible month (we WILL be open Saturday, June 27 from 11-1pm!), we are planning ahead for a summer month of shopping, self-care, and all things motherhood planned, and we can’t wait to see you!

🛍️ We have officially posted our July hours!!! 🎉

✨A quick heads up: While we do our best to stick to our posted hours, I also work a full time job outside of the boutique that doesn’t always come with a predictable schedule. Occasionally that means our shop hours need to change. We always post updates as soon as we know, so be sure to follow our page and check before making a trip!

🇺🇸 JULY PROMOTION: Mom’s Summer Reset

Because moms deserve a little TLC, we’re celebrating self-care all month long! Starting July 1:

💙 15% off all self-care products including items from the new bathcare line, wellness patches, lotions (including our most favorite magnesium lotion!) and so much more!

❤️ Spend $75 or more and receive a FREE sugar scrub!

🤍 Plus, every purchase made during July earns you an entry into our July Self-Care Giveaway!

Whether you’re shopping for yourself, another mama, or just need an excuse to treat yourself (which you absolutely don’t need 😉), we’d love to help you put together your own little summer reset.

Can’t wait to see you in July!

🫧 So… we did something.

And honestly, we are a little obsessed. (Okay, maybe a lot obsessed!) 🤩

At The Ivory Wren & Company, we talk a lot about take care of everyone else. The snacks,the appointments, the laundry, the bedtime routines, the “Mom, where is my…” twenty-seven times a day.

But here’s your reminder: moms deserve fun too.

Self-care doesn’t always have to look like a fancy spa or weekend getaway. Sometimes it’s locking the bathroom door for 20 minutes, turning on your favorite playlist, and pretending nobody knows where you are. 🛁☺️

That’s why we couldn’t resist bringing in some of the most FUN bath goodies we’ve ever carried!

🌊 Our customer-favorite sugar scrubs are back with updated summer scents that smell like sunshine vacation, and all the things we wish were happening while we fold laundry

🧸NEW Bubble Soap Bears have officially arrived! These adorable little bears are packed with bright colors. Amazing summer scents, and surprise goodies hidden inside. They’re perfect for the kiddos…but let’s be honest, we’re pretty sure moms are going to want one too

🧼🫧 And the bath bombs?!

THE. BATH. BOMBS.

We may have audibly squealed while unpacking them.

These are some of the cutest bath bombs we’ve ever seen, and each one has its own fun surprise. Think color-changing magic, hidden toys, exciting reveals, and all kinds of summer fun packed into one little bath time adventure.

Because bath time shouldn’t just be another item on the checklist. It should be something you look forward to.

Whether you’re shopping for your little one, looking for a fun gift, or desperately trying to convince yourself that hiding in the tub for 15 minutes counts as self-care (it absolutely does), we’ve got you covered 💛

Stop in and check them out before they are gone… because if our reaction is any indication, these won’t stay on the shelves long! ☀️🏝️✨

📣 Hours Update 📣

We wanted to share a few changes to our upcoming schedule:

✨ We will be CLOSED on Saturday, June 20 and will resume our regularly posted hours on Tuesday, June 23.

✨ We will also be CLOSED on Sunday, June 28.

As a small, family-run business, sometimes life, family schedules and behind-the-scenes shop tasks require us to adjust our hours. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we balance it all while continuing to strive to bring you the best maternity, postpartum, and mom-focused shopping experience possible.

👀 Be on the lookout for our July hours, which will be posted soon, along with some more new arrivals and updates around the shop!

🩷 Self-Care Isn’t Selfish 🩵

If you know me, I’m a huge believer in and advocate for self-care for women. Whether you are navigating pregnancy, motherhood, work, relationships, or simply the everyday demands of life, taking care of yourself matters.

Now, full disclosure… I’m not always the best at practicing what I preach. But I firmly believe that self-care doesn’t have to mean expensive spa day or a weekend getaway. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

That’s why I love carrying products in the shop that encourage you to take a few moments for YOU—without breaking the bank!

✨ Vitamin-infused wellness patches
✨ Adorable blemish stickers in the cutest patterns (for only $6!)
✨ Self-heating eye masks for a little moment of relaxation
✨ Ingrown hair treatments (because let’s be honest, it happens!)

And while I love all of our self-care products, there is one I will recommend over and over and over again, the Calming Support Patches. They are $5 for a pack of 12, and have earned a permanent spot in my personal self-care lineup.

As someone whose resting state seems to be “slightly overwhelmed but functioning,” these patches have become one of my favorite little tools. They aren’t magic and won’t suddenly transport you to the beach with no responsibilities, but I do notice a difference. I feel a little more centered, a little less scattered, and a little better equipped to handle the mental juggling act that comes with being a mom, running a business and managing all the things.

Apparently my enthusiasm for them has been contagious because they’ve slowly made their way into my family’s routines…and maybe a few neighbors 🥰

We’ve also recently added some new self-care goodies (such as the Keep It Cool after sun sheet masks!) that we are excited for you to see!

We believe self-care should be affordable, accessible and guilt-free. You deserve to feel cared for, too. ❤️

Stop by, browse our self-care section and maybe treat yourself to something small that helps you to recharge. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

☀️Upcoming Shop Hours & Important Updates☀️

We wanted to take a moment to share our hours for the upcoming few weeks and a few important reminders before we head out on our family vacation! ✈️🌊

Be sure to stop in and shop with us before we leave! With the kids now being out of school, we will be in a period of adjustment with our hours to ensure we are at the shop as much as we can be, as well as spending these few short summer months with the family.

We will be posting our hours for June 12-July 1 when we return from our vacation. Be on the lookout! We also will be launching an exciting announcement during that time as well! 👀

👗 A quick reminder for our maternity buyback customers:
-We are still accepting buys but due to our upcoming vacation, we will stop buys on June 5 to ensure that we have nothing outstanding while we are away. If you have been planning on bringing in some items, now is the perfect time!

Thank you all so much for continuing to support us. There is truly nothing more rewarding hearing customers come in and say things like “we are so glad you are here,” and “the community really needed this,” and my favorite, “I actually found things that fit me and look cute!” 🥰

Hope to see you all soon!

☀️Sunshine, iced coffee, growing bumps, postpartum bodies, chasing littles, nursing on the go… summer is busy enough without fighting your closet too!

One thing we love around the shop is helping moms find outfits that are actually cute, comfortable, affordable, and make you feel good in every stage — pregnancy, nursing, postpartum, and beyond. Because you deserve clothes that fit your life and your body without sacrificing style and price!

We have been putting out so many fun summer pieces lately, from flowy dresses, tanks, cute shirts, lightweight layers, and even those “throw it on and still feel put together” outfits we all need this summer.

And the best part? New arrivals are constantly hitting the racks, so there is always something new to discover when you stop by!

We look forward to seeing you! 👗
