“We had a vision for this shop, and even when the world was turning upside down with this unfortunate pandemic, we knew we had to move forward with our plans,” said Amy Tech, owner, Dream Baby Decor. “We thought of all those couples expecting or having a baby, whether their first child or third. We thought of those expectant and new grandparents and friends having to Zoom with their loved ones as they eagerly awaited or welcomed the new babies in their lives. Then we thought about their needs. We wanted to become the prime resource for them, and provide the best quality products and services for those babies and their families. They deserve it!”

We all need to help each other.” She continued, “Congratulations to Amy and your family and thank you for giving everyone a dream.”
