Hello!
Welcome to Pippy Lane! I am so excited you are here! I am Kari Grady and I founded Pippy Lane on the belief that everyone has something to offer to someone else no matter who you are or where your at in life. Life can be hard but it can also be beautiful. I believe that people need people because life happens and it’s not something we should experience alone.
I am a wife to a very hard working truck driver and a Mom to two beautiful grown daughters. My oldest daughter is a Police officer and my youngest is an incredibly talented Cosmetologist and Make-Up artist. Of course, I can’t forget my fur babies. Blessing is our spunky girl. She is half German shepherd, half Pittie, weighing in at about 115lbs. Sabrina is our little girl who is a mother hen to all. She is a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix weighing in at 18lb. Family is the most important thing to me. Without my family, I do not know where I would be.
I have been blessed to have the coolest jobs during my life. I have a background in the medical field and in my younger days (Ha! Ha!) I taught childbirth classes and worked as a Doula. I love children and that led to a over 20 years of me providing daycare services and also nannying. I have owned my own cleaning business and have worked at a Homeless Shelter in my town. I love to do arts and crafts, try new restaurants, go to the movies and most of all spend time with my family and fur babies. I hope you journey with me for a long time to come and find joy and encouragement throughout Pippy Lane. Have a blessed day!
