Mom Boss Monday: Kathleen from Munchie Mug

Mom Boss Monday· Mom Life

munchie mug-snack cup-spill proof-toddler gear-small business

We have seen a lot of snack cups come and go in Leopold’s short two years of life. Some good, some not great. The wonderful folks over at Munchie Mug were some of the first to send me a product to review and it has been a favorite ever since. You can read that post here!

I LOVE our Munchie Mug. I want ALL the Munchie Mugs. Why do we need more than one? Do we? Probably not…but I love them and I would buy more if I could!

Read on to find out a little bit more about this fantastic product and the awesome mama behind it!

Tell me a little bit about what you sell:

We sell Munchie Mugs, a spill proof snack cup for children. We’re the only snack cup in the world to feature a unique soft cloth top and we’re also the only spill proof snack cup made in America. 

How did it all begin?

 
It all began when my dad, Phil, watched one of his grandkids dump cheerios out of one of those other “spill proof” snack cups. My dad was a high school science teacher and is a precision machinist so inventing has always been in his nature. After a few years of R&D, Munchie Mug was born.

Tell me about you! Where are you from? What do you love? How many kids do you have? 

I’m from Sonoma, CA, a very small town just north of San Francisco. We’re currently living in Oregon, but most of our family is still in the Sonoma area. I happen to love Sonoma. There’s something really magical about a town you can walk everywhere in, feel safe in and always see someone you know around town. I have 2 boys, they’re 5 and 2. And I have 2 pit bull mix doggies as well. I love being able to work from home and all the challenges and rewards of running a business. I appreciate my dad so much for creating a product that truly makes our lives as parents, a little bit easier, but also for creating a business that allows me the freedom to be a stay at home mom.

Do you support a cause? If yes, tell me about it!

Yes-our family is a long time supporter of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. We have had a team at the Relay For Life of Sonoma for the last 14 years. We lost my mom to kidney cancer 12 years ago and she was the most amazing woman. How did she make raising 4 kids look so easy?? I wish I could ask her now! Anyway, we started our team in honor of her and now we Relay in her memory.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Just balance-it’s tempting to get on my computer during the day but I really try to only do that when necessary and leave my work for the evenings.

What is the most rewarding part of what you do? 

Getting to hear from parents that we’ve helped them in some way, we’ve made their lives a little bit easier. It’s truly gratifying to hear people come back to us year after year at the shows we do saying, “We can’t live without our Munchie Mug!”

How long have you been in business?

12 years

Who is your biggest supporter?

My husband. He thinks I can do anything and is always supporting my ideas and weekend travel to baby shows. It really inspires me to go for things that maybe I wouldn’t have tried before.

I used to be a world traveler but I've settled down (for now) to have babies. I'm married to my best friend James and I'm a dog mom to Niko (Goldendoodle) and Rahksi (Chinese Crested). Read More…

Catch me outside starting seeds and planning out my flower bed in my fancy new gardening overalls that I bought off a targeted Facebook ad for @duluthtradingcompany 😂😂. I don't usually buy clothes for myself and especially not when it's over $50 😅 but this is WORTH IT.  It's got so many pockets and it's so comfy and it's definitely my new weekend uniform for the foreseeable future.🌸🏵💐🌿🌻

I love taking allllll the photos when we go camping- it helps me remember all the sweet moments and eventually I forget the stressful bits, or setting up camp and breaking it down by myself, or whining and complaining 😅. I'm trying to get the kids more used to helping with the setup but it's not without a bit of "mooOooMm whyyyy" from them 🙄😂.

Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily a Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily after I heard a woman on the podcast I listen to (Solo cleaning school) say she drank this every day and never got sick. I know the odds are against me with 2 kids, but I've heard so many good things about Apple cider vinegar, I'm trying it! So far so good! It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I'm doing that's making me feel good- working out, vitamins, water, ACV, etc, but I'm sure it's a solid combo of a few of those 😝. Self care is fun!
