Two young LDS mothers have teamed up to create a product that even Kickstarter’s staff recognized as something special. Marilee Killpack and Jeni Awerkamp both grew up in Utah and have been friends since grade school, but have only recently embarked on a business endeavor by creating “The Playground: the mat for park lovers and mess makers.”
While many businesses begin with an idea, originally Awerkamp and Killpack began with only a desire to start a business but with no actual product pinned down. What they did know is that they trusted each other, and they trusted that God believed they were capable of creating a product worthy of their time and effort.
