Meet Paula

If you know Paula, she’s likely to have gifted you a blanket for a baby in your life, invited you to join her family for Easter or Thanksgiving dinner, had an impromptu book club about whatever book you’re reading because she’s read it too, or ordered you a dozen custom cookies in your favorite color and flavor.

In this entrepreneurial chapter of Paula’s life, she’s serving women in North Texas whose shoes she’s definitely stood in.
