Two Broke Besties was built on friendship, motherhood, big dreams, and the kind of bond that feels written in the stars.

Our story really started long before us. Our moms were best friends growing up, born just three months apart. Then came us — Jordan and Ashley — also born three months apart, destined for our own version of lifelong friendship. Like life sometimes does, we grew up, grew apart, and eventually found our way back to each other right when we needed it most.

When Jordan had her baby girl, Stevie, and needed someone she trusted to care for her while she worked her 9-5, Ashley stepped in. What started as helping a best friend quickly turned into something much bigger. Stevie became our sidekick, our tiny partner in chaos, and lovingly earned the title of our “brokest bestie.”

For years, we’ve sent the same dream-filled texts back and forth — joking, venting, and half-seriously planning how we could quit our 9-5s, be present moms, and spend our days doing something we truly love. Slowly but surely, those late-night conversations, coffee-fueled ideas, and “what if we actually did this?” moments became Two Broke Besties.

Ashley is our Blind Date with a Book bestie, wrapping mystery reads with tropes, vibes, and just enough magic to tempt your TBR. Jordan is the creative talent behind our handmade Brew Besties, bringing cozy, trendy charm to every coffee run.

At the heart of it all, Two Broke Besties is more than books and handmade goods. It’s about chasing dreams while raising babies, choosing joy in the middle of real life, and proving that it’s never too late to start building the life you keep talking about. We hope our little bookish dream inspires others to follow their own, support local, romanticize the everyday, and live a life that feels like their favorite story.
