Hi mamas!! I'm Riley, the girl behind The Extra Set! 🤍
I figured it was about time I introduced myself and shared a little bit about the heart behind this little business of mine!
First, a little about me! I'm 21 years old, born and raised in Southeast Texas, and you can usually find me making coffee at 7 Brew when I'm not working on The Extra Set! ☕️
I've always been a creative girl at heart. I love making banners, decorating for special occasions, and finding little ways to make things feel extra special. I'm also someone who genuinely enjoys staying busy, having a project to work on, and finding ways to make the people around me happy.
Outside of work, I love spending time with the people closest to me, and I've always been someone with big dreams and a million ideas running through my head! Starting something of my own has been something I've wanted for a long time, and getting to combine my creative side with my love for helping others makes The Extra Set feel even more special to me.
For as long as I can remember, I've had such a love for children and families. I've spent years caring for little ones, helping families with their everyday routines, and finding so much joy in being someone others can count on. I've even had the opportunity to work in childcare, with kiddos of all ages, which is an experience I'll always be grateful for!
But my passion for The Extra Set goes so much deeper than just loving kids or enjoying helping people.
Growing up, I watched my own mom carry so much on her shoulders. And as I've gotten older, I've noticed that same thing in so many of the women around me.
Moms are constantly wearing a million different hats. They're taking care of their babies, keeping up with their homes, making sure everyone is fed, remembering every appointment, planning every birthday, and somehow still finding ways to show up for everyone around them.
And so often, they're doing all of that while putting themselves last.
I've watched women I love take on what feels like the weight of the entire world, and it's made me realize just how much goes into being a mama that so many people never even see.
I started The Extra Set because I wanted to do something about that, even if it's just in a small way.
I wanted to create a service that meets moms wherever they are in life. Whether you're preparing to welcome a new baby, trying to get caught up around the house, needing an extra hand with dinner, planning a special celebration, or simply wishing there were a few more hours in the day, I want to be someone you can call.
Because I don't believe a mama should have to be completely overwhelmed before she deserves a little help.
Sometimes it's not about having someone do everything for you. Sometimes it's just about having someone beside you, making the day feel a little lighter.
That's what I want The Extra Set to be.
I want to be the person who walks into your home ready to jump in, who treats your family with genuine care, and who helps you cross a few things off that never-ending to-do list.
I know that inviting someone into your home and trusting them around your family is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.
Starting this business has been a dream of mine, and putting myself out there has definitely been a little scary! But I believe in what I'm creating, and I can't wait to see where it goes.
To every mama who's ever felt like she has to do it all, I hope The Extra Set can be a reminder that you don't have to.
You deserve help. You deserve time for yourself. You deserve to enjoy the little moments without constantly thinking about everything that still needs to get done.
And if I can make even one mama's day a little easier, then I'm doing exactly what I set out to do.
With love,
Riley 💌
