About Melissa

When I started Tiny Tags, I was just starting my motherhood journey. My heart was overflowing with love for the little boy I held in my arms, and I couldn’t think of a better way to express all that pride and joy than to wear his name on a necklace. On a whim, I decided to make my own—and so began Tiny Tags.

TURNED INTO MY LIFE’S PASSION

Over the years, I have received countless emails telling me what Tiny Tags has meant to you.

The stories have ranged from a toddler enthusiastically searching for her name on her mom's Tiny Tags, to a mother gripping her Tiny Tags for strength as she watched her son leave for the military.

Every piece of jewelry has a story, and we have been honored to tell yours.

Ten-plus years later, what started as a hobby has turned into my life’s passion—creating beautiful jewelry that celebrates the precious gift of a child and the journey of motherhood.

GIFT OF HEALING

Probably the most unexpected gift Tiny Tags has given me is the personal healing from my own past. I was raised by my father while my mother struggled to show up for us—a truth that was hard for me to understand as a child. My mother carried so much guilt for not raising my sister and me.

I can still see the shame in her eyes when we visited and someone would say, “I didn’t know you had children.”  I've come to understand my mother's journey after the relationships I have made through.

TRANSFORMING LOVE'S IMPACT

Tiny Tags and the hundreds of stories I have heard. I can see now that her struggles weren’t because she didn’t love me, but because she didn’t fully love herself.

Sadly, my mother passed away from alcoholism when she was just 56. When I look back at our relationship, I find solace that she knew how much I loved her and I knew she loved me.

My experience with my mother propelled much of what Tiny Tags is today. My mission is to create a community that supports and uplifts women by recognizing that we have to love ourselves before we can fully love others.

I hope!
  • I hope that Tiny Tags continues to be a place to share real, vulnerable truths about this incredible journey of motherhood.
  • A place where we can inspire and lift each other by
    sharing our stories.
  • A place that recognizes our children do not need perfect
    mothers, but present ones.
  • Most importantly, a place that focuses on what really
    matters in life—love and the incredible gift of a child.
