We are still celebrating Mamas this month and it’s time for our favorite 💝 The host with the most and the reason we are The HOO House…Hoo herself!
If you’ve been to The Hoo House, chances are you’ve met “Hoo.”
Hoo is my sweet mother, Judy Ayres, and “Hoo” is the name she was lovingly coined by her grandkids. To know her is to love her. There truly is not a mean bone in her body. She radiates beauty, joy, warmth, and has the most inviting presence.
When I first dreamed of opening this storefront, I knew Hoo would be the backbone of it all. She may not handle the business-side of things, but she is the magic behind what makes the Hoo House feel so special. From the beautiful details, to the finishing touches, the baked goods, the thoughtful wrapping, and all the little things in between; she makes everything feel just right.
When brainstorming the name, I wanted this store to feel like my childhood home growing up.
Inviting. Beautiful. Warm. Detailed.
A place filled with goodness that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. And that feeling is all because of my mother.
So if you stop by this week, I hope you get the chance to meet Hoo and experience all the goodness she embodies ❤️
