About Milk & Orchids, LLC

Hey there! I’m Rachel!

I have been married to my husband for the past 4 years.  He is the most wonderful, thoughtful, and hardworking man. I truly am blessed to have found a strong provider, who has always supported my dreams and shown me what love should be.

I’m mama to my rough and tumble but, oh so affectionate rainbow baby boy! Well, he’s not so little anymore. He is thriving in his Toddlersaurus Rex era! I also have a baby in heaven, that unfortunately we were never able to meet. But I always like to imagine that our angel baby sent our son to us from heaven. 

I chose to breastfeed my son, and I made it 8, very LONG months. I stopped on Mother’s Day, my gift to myself!  Breastfeeding is beyond challenging. It is painful at times, both mentally and physically draining. But it shows us just how powerful the female body is. 

No matter our journey or how we got there. We fed our babies. Breast, formula, pumping.  I think it is remarkable to be able to honor ourselves and to memorialize our voyage, by preserving our milk and memories and placing it into beautiful jewelry that can last a lifetime.  I wanted a way to show the significance of being a Mama, the important milestones we reach, as well as being able to honor those gone too soon. Making keepsake jewelry, allows me to do that.

I am grateful to be entrusted with your liquid gold, baby’s first haircut, ashes from a loved one gone too soon, or even fur/ash from your fur babies.  I will put time, effort, and love into a special keepsake unique to your story!      

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you find something that you love and will continue to love for a lifetime!
