Making a change through beautiful baby essentials
Our family wanted to give back. We also wanted beautiful baby items that actually represented our
personal style. Mini Wander was born as an opportunity to do both!
âMini Wander was born as a way to give back: weâre deeply blessed and we feel a call to make a difference in the worldâ
As a family, we recognize weâve been incredibly blessed: being first-generation immigrants and living in the US, we knew we had to give back and make a positive impact in other peopleâs lives, especially children!
But at the time and although we were living a good life, there wasnât a lot of wiggle room: living paycheck to paycheck, it was sometimes impossible to set money aside for charity.
So, while browsing through the baby aisle in preparation for our new little one, we had an idea. First, we realized that even though baby items come in plenty of different shapes and colors, most of them clashed with our personal sense of style. Of course, thereâs nothing wrong with classic baby patterns, but they didnât inspire us.
Pairing our different talents, we knew we could make a difference! Kristinaâs creative flair was the perfect balance to Romanâs ability to handle the âbusiness side of thingsâ. We knew what was missing: baby essentials that intentionally brought beauty to childrenâs day-to-day, representing the one-of-a 25kind bundle of joy they truly are!
Sometimes we all get caught up in the everyday rush, so by making the little details in a familyâs life more beautiful, they could pause and savor the small things that brought them joy. We wanted to walk into our childrenâs nursery and feel energized, motivated and surrounded by things that intentionally put us in a good mood (beside the giggling baby of course!). So with that idea, we got to work.
Listening to our call
The Mini Wander is more than a place to find gorgeous swaddles and accessories with unique prints. We want to help families create intentional beauty in everyday moments through baby essentials made to last and crafted with care. We want this to be a close-knit community of mamas supporting one another, families coming together, and people trying to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Through the Mini Wander we want to serve, donate and lend a hand to children and communities in need. Weâre passionate to grow the business because the more we grow, the more weâre able to give back.
Since the beginning, the Mini Wander was born as a way to help, and thatâs what will guide our growth.
Weâre happy youâre in for the ride!
With love,
Kristina & Roman
Meet the fam
Kristina
The OG mompreneur. After welcoming her first child, she was disappointed at the limited options in baby items. Bibs, swaddles and onesies were functional, but not stylish. Plus, babies looked so similar in them! So she decided to start making her own unique baby apparel. Pairing her love for creating beautiful things with Romanâs entrepreneurial flair, a family business was born. It all started with Billy Bibs, selling handmade bibs that actually looked like part of your babyâs outfit. Then it grew from there!
Listening to her familyâs call to serve and make a change, the Mini Wander is a new project that aims to build a strong community and help others.
Roman
A former welder and truck driver, Roman is passionate about entrepreneurship, family and listening to His call. After having to spend most of his time on the road, he was thrilled to start a business with his wife! Spending more time with his loved ones was a big part of the decision, but being able to make a real difference in the lives of less fortunate children is what moved him to get on board. The Mini Wander was born as a way to serve and follow his call to lend a hand.
The kids
Theyâre cute. Theyâre snuggly. Theyâre too old for a swaddle now (weâre devastated). They help their parents keep the business going by adding laughter, love and passion to their family. Roman and Kristina feel blessed to have them!
