More than a boutique...The Children’s Edit was formed by a duo of moms like you, already juggling a full plate. Megan and Claire deeply desire to come alongside you and lighten that load.
The best things in life truly start with good friends.
The Children’s Edit is no exception. Megan and Claire share a simple, pure vision for their fellow moms. What started as a dreamy idea over coffee, turned into the very business you see today.
Dear friend,
We love to celebrate all of the little moments and want you to enjoy it fully, too!
Between the two of us, we GET your daily balancing act of motherhood and a possible outside career, too. These perspectives help us tackle what parents need to make their shopping experiences and life celebrations obtainable. We recognize that there are many unique paths to parenthood and we want to help you find the perfect items for your child whether you are bringing home a newborn, fostering a two-year-old, or adopting that little one who was born in your heart so long ago.
xoxo

our story
About Claire
Caring for others has always come naturally to Claire and has been our constant reminder that even the little moments for your children should be celebrated. She has to be pulled back in during our market seasons so we do not have hundreds of birthday outfits for the season. As a former ICU nurse, she still has a passion for caring for those around her and loves to connect with other moms in our community through dressing their little ones.
Claire has been married for thirteen years to Clayton who owns a local pharmacy. The two share three children- Joseph (6), Mae (4), and William (2). Two of their children are here through the miracle of IVF. Claire is no stranger to the struggles and darkness of infertility. She has a deep appreciation for her fellow moms in this journey and those who pray for that title.
Claire loves to help those around her feel welcome, treasured and yes … celebrated. When not chasing her three little ones or dreaming up new custom pieces for the shop, Claire enjoys a good workout at M Power Bham, listening to podcasts (especially on politics), and spending time with her *numerous* beloved pets.
our story
About Megan
If you know this duo, you know it no surprise that Megan started this venture with Claire. Both having backgrounds working in the ICU, they were quick to jump at this idea of having a "hobby" that was just a happy outlet to connect with fellow new moms. Megan often jokes that this hobby really spiraled quickly into two store locations but she is excited to be on the ride!
Megan grew up in a small town with an ever growing family, including 7 nieces and nephews. With the youngest of her nieces born at just 28 weeks, Megan has an understandable love for the preemie family. She is married to Mills who is a licensed professional counselor in their community. The couple share two children, Miller (5) and James (3). Miller entered their life in whirlwind fashion as a true honeymoon baby and was quickly followed by little brother. They have been kept on their toes from the very beginning of their union!
Megan loves planning celebrations of all sizes and types. She can be found decorating for every single holiday which has left her children always looking forward to a celebration! When not working at the shop, you can find Megan grabbing a coffee, on a stroll with her family, or taking notes on ideas for the future of Children's Edit.
