*************************************************************************************
Names: Donnie & Bethany (Owners)
Hometown:
D: Wilmington, NC
B: Durham, NC
Current Town:
B: We love calling Wilmington home!
How did you two love birds meet?
B: We had both recently graduated from UNCW but our paths had (somehow)
never crossed. Donnie randomly moved into
an apartment on Wrightsville Beach with some of my closest guy friends from
Durham. We met at one of their beach cookouts and became friends over the
summer. I wasn’t looking for the love of
my life at the time, but when I met Donnie that ALL changed! I was quickly smitten and the rest is
history.
3 words that your family would use to
describe you:
D: Kind-hearted, focused, and passionate (answered by Bethany J)
B: HUGE heart, beautiful inside & out, nurturing (answered by Donnie J)
Boy or girl, what are your guesses?
D: Sweet little girl so I can go and buy that tutu I saw on our first baby
shopping trip.
B: I go back and forth every day!
Definitely thinking boy more than girl.
I can’t wait until I hear those words on delivery day!
What is one thing you
are most excited about becoming a parent?
D: All the baby laughs! This baby is sure to fill our home with lots of
laughter.
B: The feeling of being a mommy. The thing I’m most excited about doing is
rocking my babe to sleep and just savoring that moment.
What is one prayer/hope
you have for Baby B?
D: There is nothing I could want more than a healthy happy baby.
B: That they’re like their daddy!
How did XOve Baby come to life?
D: It has always been a desire of mine and Bethany’s to do more and help
others. We are passionate about knowing that everything happens for a reason
and knew the perfect opportunity was right in front of us when we dreamed up
XOve Baby.
With her experience working as a Nanny
and true love for babies, combined with my passion for business, we knew we
wanted to make our job helping children.
Unfortunately, not every child is
brought into this world under perfect conditions, and this is all out of their
control. It is for these reasons that we feel strongly about helping children
feel a sense of comfort through our products.
Where is the name from?
B: I moved away for work for 6 months right when Donnie and I got
engaged. Between planning a wedding and
the distance, we covered a lot of texts and emails. Our exchanges either always ended with a
‘love you’ or a ‘XO’. Eventually that
evolved into XOve. It embodies what we
had always envisioned our company being about.
Why give back?
B: Giving back wasn’t an afterthought for us; it was one of our first
thoughts. It’s what we wanted to build a
company around. At the end of the day,
if we’re not doing something to really help others- why do it?
What inspires you and fires you up?
D: Knowing that with every new day comes an opportunity to meet new people,
influence the lives of others, and learn something we didn’t know the day
before.
When you aren’t filling orders and giving to those in need what
are you doing?
D: Bethany and I are both currently working full-time jobs outside of XOve
Baby so that does take up most of our “free time”. However, I do enjoy to play
golf, surf, swim in the pool, or hang out in Starbucks with my iPad and a nice
tall coffee in hand!
B: Getting ready for Baby B and living up our 2-person family status while
we can! We’ve been trying to fit in
impromptu dates- whether it’s jumping in the car for a day getaway, a dinner
out, or just going to the beach without having to pack the whole house! We’re
trying to do things now that we may not be able to do for a while.
What is one goal for XOve Baby?
D: One goal for our company is to build a community around what we do for
others through the business. The quality of the products that we make for each
and every baby is very important to us, but the support and influence of each
new member of our community is priceless.
