Our Story

How it started

The story of Saranoni truly began with the birth of our first child, Eliza. She was born with microtia–a congenital condition that caused her to be born without a fully developed outer ear (inherited from me). As she grew old enough to be considered for corrective surgery, we soon learned the procedure was considered a cosmetic surgery, and wouldn’t be covered by insurance. The cost was over $100,000.00 for just the outer ear surgery. This was a high cost for our young family, now with two more of our children in tow.

Our wheels started churning on how we could help our daughter have the opportunity for these surgeries and we made the decision that we would launch our own business endeavor to bring in extra money.

We were in the thick of raising little ones and I remember receiving baby gift baskets from Nathan’s company and although well intended, I felt we could do better. With 3 young children, an ambitious goal and little to no experience, I made my first shaky steps into the business world as Nathan had a full time job. I loved the creative aspect and soon found myself at the family computer late into the night while my babies were asleep. Among the items featured in the gift baskets (including clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.) were luxury baby blankets. I had no idea then that those baby blankets would be what people would fall in love with the most!

New Adventure

As exciting as it was to start this new venture, it wasn’t all moments of joy. Weekends were often filled with long drives to craft fairs, grueling hours of packing and shipping out of our basement, and days where it seemed like nothing was working. At one point Nathan and I fulfilled orders from our storage unit in the freezing dead of winter, with our kids bundled in the car. One night, exhausted by the burden of this endeavor on top of motherhood, I told Nathan that I was simply done. It was too much.

That night, after spending some time in prayer and in conversation together, we knew that Saranoni was here to stay. We made the decision that Nathan would join the company and we would focus our energy on bringing comfort and warmth to individuals and families through our blankets.

Family together

As our business grew, so did our family. Although difficult at times, Nathan and I tried to make sure our faith and our family were our main priorities. Nothing brought us more joy!  Life was busy getting kids to practices, lessons, events, monitoring homework, attending games and the general chaos of family life with 6 kids and running a business. But we were grateful we were able to do this together. 

Our Lives Changed...

On November 5th of 2021, Nathan received a sudden and alarming diagnosis after only feeling extremely tired for just a few days and thinking he had a thyroid problem.  He was diagnosed with a large tumor in the middle of the brain stem. Within 2 days, he lost his ability to walk on his own. Through a series of miracles we were able to get into Huntsman Cancer center immediately where we were told he needed to have emergency surgery to receive a stint in his brain to relieve the hydrocephalus and receive a biopsy of the tumor. A week later we received the results of the biopsy and he was diagnosed with stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer in the only inoperable place in the brain and was given 4 weeks to live. 

With no treatment options to extend his life, we did everything we could to treasure the 4 weeks Nathan was given. We loved being able to spend hours at his side snuggling and attending to his needs. Nathan assured the kids that he would be present at events that were important to them. He testified of his faith in God and his conviction that despite everything, our family would be together again. During this time we were so humbled to receive such overwhelming kindness from family and a community that rallied around Nathan and I, and our children at a time when we could do nothing but hang on as a family and look for the positive in every day.

Nathan passed away peacefully on January 5th, 2022. His death has been tremendously difficult for me and our children but we have tried to keep our chins up, tears and all, and continue the legacy of Saranoni so dear to Nathan. Our business’s mission has never meant more to us than it does now.

Moments

While our family and our Saranoni team miss Nathan and his presence desperately, his passion for service and connection are alive and well at Saranoni. Our mission remains to bring comfort, warmth, and connection to individuals and families. Nathan used to say

“Moments become memories and we are honored to help families create and enjoy the moments that will become precious memories.”

We hope that our blankets bring peace to your every day and comfort to your lives! Whether you’re purchasing your first Saranoni blanket for your home, sending comfort to a friend, or simply trying to slow down and enjoy the little things, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Saranoni family!
