Ivy – Co Owner of Mollie Ollie: The Mimmo Caddy you see today was born out of the struggles I faced as a mom of 2 lovely and energetic girls.

As a working mom, I am continually trying to find the most efficient way to juggle work, wifey and mommy duties, so that I can have time to sip a cup of coffee while it is still hot.

When I had my first child, things were still manageable, but after my second baby came along, the amount of multi-tasking hit me hard, and things got a little messy around the house. So much so that for a diaper change, I had to walk in and out 4-5 times from room to room to get a diaper, and maybe a toy or clean clothes for Ollie while coaxing her and holding her down so that she would lay still long enough to let me do my job. What used to be a 30-second task took 15 minutes with lots of screaming and crying.

A dear friend of mine gave me my first caddy to hold diaper changing essentials as well as toys or anything that can distract Ollie and keep her still.

As the two girls grew older, the essentials needed to be evolved to books for story time, medicine, thermometer, etc.
I soon realized the caddy I had was too flimsy and couldn’t withstand the multiple usages, and the lack of compartments means it couldn’t efficiently organize different items for different occasions. So I decided to design my own caddy that is versatile, classic (I find beauty in simplicity) and high quality. Digging around for a nail, clipper drove me to incorporate a zipper compartment in the now Mimmo Caddy.
