Hi! I am Alyssa Hughes, owner of Barefoot Baby and director of the Barefoot Baby Foundation. After my husband and I moved to North Carolina from Connecticut, we started living a life we didn't know we needed- one filled with hiking, gardening, and adventure. After starting a homestead in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and having our first child, we became even more enthralled with the beauty of the world and the benefits of having our family in it. This passion started to show itself through the designing of our clothing brand, Barefoot Baby, which had a mission to "Bring nature and family back to childhood." As our family and connections to the community grew, the idea of starting a non-profit began. My husband and I moved forward and have been expanding our ties to both the nature and people around us ever since. Our 501 (c) 3 had the same mission of bringing nature and family back to childhood, but it added one part- through memories. My books reflect the values of both our company and our foundation. From learning about self esteem through the chickens of "Just Red", being brave through "The Spooky Barn owl", or the hope and strength in being "Mountain Made", there is no shortage of positive lessons and original artwork to be found. I am part of a family on a mission to bring you through our world of love of each other, of the simple life, and of the beautiful place we call home. I hope you, and your (barefoot) little ones, enjoy my stories.
