Hello! My name is Bobbi, and I am the proud mother of five beautiful girls—Bailynn, Isobel, Arwyn, Lila, and Naomi. It is also the reason my business is called 5 Pink Peonies. I am married to my amazing husband, Bob (and yes, we have heard all the jokes about our names!). He truly is the best and puts up with a house full of women – three dogs and twelve cats too! I have a deep love for animals, and thankfully may family does too!

I initially started my blog to share Bailynn’s journey with Tuberous Sclerosis. Writing has become a meaningful outlet for providing updates on her medical condition and the procedures she undergoes. Living in Bailynn’s world is both challenging and enlightening, and my hope is that by sharing our experiences, we can bring hope to other families navigating similar challenges.

In addition, I’ve become actively involved in advocating for the special needs community. I’ve witnessed firsthand the inequities faced by individuals with ongoing medical issues, and it’s disheartening how often these challenges are overlooked by society. Through my advocacy, I aim to raise awareness and spark important conversations about the support and resources that are desperately needed.

Are you here because you saw my design work? That is wonderful! Welcome to sPinkPeonies.com! I am thrilled you found me. I studied journalism and web design at USI and have a degree in professional studies. Over the years, I have written a parenting column, authored a children’s book, created freelance pieces for magazines, and ventured into graphic design and illustration. I founded my design company, 5 Pink Peonies LLC, where I create and sell hand-illustrated graphic art and design work. Many of my designs help support Bailynn’s ongoing medical expenses, and the response has been truly humbling. I am blessed with amazing clients and have had the pleasure of working with exceptional business owners, brides, and individuals.

Balancing a business and a household comes with its challenges, but I would not change a thing. I am incredibly grateful for all the support we have received. My designs have traveled far and wide, been featured in magazines and national blogs, and shared more times than I can count. It is all still sinking in!

As you can imagine, my life is anything but boring! I often get asked how I manage everything and where I find the time. Life is vibrant and chaotic, but it’s also immensely rewarding. Like any mom, I have my moments of worry and tears, but I strive to focus on living fully. My family lives by one simple philosophy: “You can give in, you can give up, or you can give it your all.” We choose to give it our all.

I embrace joy amidst the challenges, choosing my family above all else. I believe that maintaining a positive mindset can truly transform your world. While not every day is filled with sunshine, many are spent navigating calls to doctors and caring for my adult daughter, I find solace in the moments of happiness that break through.

I also dedicate time to my passions, like drawing and running long distances, with all RunDisney races being my favorite events.

Watching my daughters grow into kind and intelligent young women as they navigate adulthood is one of my greatest joys. Two of them have earned degrees from Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL—one in Video Game Development and the other in Computer Animation.

If you’d like to catch a glimpse of our beautifully chaotic life, filled with love and sprinkled with creativity, check out my blog. You might even find yourself shedding a tear or two alongside me – and that’s perfectly okay. This journey began “For Her,” and it continues to inspire everything I do. Thank you for being a part of our story! -Bobbi
