Discover Sustainable Play Decor™ by Make It Cute
Not so long ago, three girls were becoming fast friends in Allentown’s West End. An easy bond formed in the kindergarten classroom endured through elementary, middle and high schools. Early on, there was time spent hanging out in a backyard treehouse; then, later, afternoons at the Stonecrest Swim Club, and evenings at Applebee’s or the local movie theater. “We were good kids,” says Maureen North, one-third of the triad. “We didn’t get into that much trouble.” Now those girls are all grown up, and although life has taken them away from the Lehigh Valley, their connection to each other and to their hometown remains strong. Recently, a new initiative made them more than just friends; they’re now business partners as well, thanks to the launch in 2023 of their sustainable Play Decor™ company, Make It Cute.
