About Us
Beenke is the ultimate shortcut for moms!
A mom’s job is constantly evolving. She doesn’t have time to waste searching for the answers she needs. We get it! We’re moms too, and we know that no two days are ever the same. They don’t call this the hardest job in the world for nothing!
That’s why we don’t mess around with stuff moms don’t care about. We cover your needs and interests – parenting, news updates, family products, health, relationships, DIY, things to do, education, and more, and we leave out the noise and distractions. Plus, we make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Our categories are clear, our navigation simple, and we don’t bury the answers in some long-winded article… cuz’ who’s got time for that?
Beenke brings you the information, ideas, tools, and advice you need (in an easily digestible format) so you can get it, and get on with your day. Our content is honest, helpful, and real – handpicked by a team of dedicated women and delivered to you with love… to help simplify your family life.
Our Story
“I had no idea how hard this whole parenting thing was actually going to be. I’ve run several successful businesses, so I figured I was ready for anything…but then Nicholas came along, and my whole world was turned upside down.
Don’t get me wrong; my son is truly the light of my life. He is amazing, creative, and sweet, but he can also be quite challenging. He’s been diagnosed with a SPD (sensory processing disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). As you can imagine, things get pretty crazy around here!
On “bad” days, I’ve cried, yelled, and even questioned my own abilities as a mother. I’ve also spent countless hours online, looking for answers, advice, or any nugget of wisdom I could use to help me be a better mom. Anything! Add to this the fact I was running a business and trying to maintain some semblance of romance with Nicholas’ dad, and I literally thought I was going to break.
Then, I had my A-Ha! moment…what if I could create a business that would help me become a better mother in the process? What if I could help other women who are struggling with the same issues that I am? What if I could build the type of online platform I needed when Nicholas was born?
And that’s why we created Beenke. Because moms, we’re all in this together.”
