I am a WAHM with two young children.  My daughter is 4 years old, and my son is 2 year old.  As my daughter was potty-training and moving into a "big girl bed," we were always in need of our stepstool.  She would constantly move it from room to room and even up and down the stairs.  I realized that we weren't the only ones who had a "traveling stepstool," and started to paint them for birthday presents.  Several friends saw the ones that I was working on and commissioned me to make ones for them.  And so is the start of Steppin' Up Stools!
