In February 2020 — at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic — we found out we were pregnant with our second child.

The world was shutting down, and so were we.

The pregnancy was hard. The isolation was harder. But we were filled with excitement waiting to meet our little princess, who was set to arrive around Halloween.

She had other plans.

She arrived early at 37 weeks and spent her first several days in the NICU, fighting to regulate her oxygen. Those days felt long and heavy. But after five days, we finally brought her home.

The nights were exhausting. The days were overwhelming. But she thrived. She hit her milestones. She smiled. She grew.

And then — between 12 and 18 months — she stopped progressing. At three years old, she was diagnosed with Level 3 Autism. 

That diagnosis changed everything.

I’ve always loved collecting magnets. Every trip, I had to bring one home. My fridge was full of stories.

But when my sensory-seeking child came into her strength, those memories didn’t stand a chance.

She earned the nickname “Baby Hulk” because nothing survived her determination. Magnets. Christmas ornaments. Keepsakes. If it could break, it did.

I searched everywhere for magnets that could withstand her curiosity and strength.

Nothing held up.

So we built them.

Durable. Intentional. Elevated. Educational.

Magnets that are strong enough for the Baby Hulk’s and beautiful enough for our aesthetic homes.
