4. What three adjectives would you use to describe yourself as a tot… / as a grown-up?

Laura: As a tot: outdoorsy, easy-going, curious. I guess those words still work now.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up? Is there a connection to what you are doing now?

Laura: I wanted to be a writer. I liked the magical idea of ending up with a product, a story, that simply came out of your head. I eventually spent many lovely years as a first grade teacher. I suppose all that time with young children explains the bits of story I now write about Pogo Forest. Creating Pogos is very connected to my own childhood. I’m lucky enough to live by the same creek where I grew up and to photograph Pogos in the same woods where I played as a child. It’s a quiet life, but thanks to Pogos and Etsy, I’m now meeting people all over the world. For me, it’s a perfect combination.

    We recently gave our daughter Norah the Nora pogo. She LOVES it. She’s only five months old but loves the long legs, which make it easy for her small hands to grip. So cute too!!!
