Our Story

Hi my name is Rick. I'm a dad of two wonderful boys and husband to Lisa. Helping our boys understand that their value and worth are internal and immutable because God created them is something I did not have growing up. I created Stuffinz to help parents teach their kids that having feelings that hurt does not make them less than or unworthy.

We all feel mad, sad, jealous, unseen, unloved, etc. at times and if we look to the Bible to know what God says about us, we can put those feelings in proper context. By doing this, we can raise kids who know who they are in Jesus and embrace their worth and be confident in life no matter what comes their way.

About Stuffinz - The plush toys designed by a dad to help develop confidence in his kids.

Kids face a lot of challenges today, from social to academic, physical to emotional and everything in between. Social media certainly doesn't make it any easier.

Raising children to embrace their God-given worth and value is the cornerstone of a happy, healthy society. Whether your child is struggling with confidence, loneliness, self-esteem, fear, anger, anxiety, or any number of issues we all face growing up, knowing what God says about them in the Bible is the beginning to helping them see and embrace their innate worth. Nothing can diminish that!

Raising Kids To Embrace Their Worth

Meaniacs Help Kids Manage Their Feelings

We all fee anxious at times. God's Word is full of encouragement that tells us to cast our worries onto Him, pray, be confident, etc. If we truly believe God's Word, that is where our hope and peace comes from. The biggest battle we face is truly believing and trusting what the King of Kings says to us and about us.

Fear is common and God has a lot to say about it. He reminds us over and over that He is in control, that He loves us, that He has overcome the world so we are free to be joyful an courageous. Meaniacs turn these scary emotions inside out to reveal what God says and we can be confident in that.

These feelings are never fun, but we can put them in proper context when we know and accept how much God loves us! He created each of us to be beautiful, unique, valued, and specifically equipped to do what He planned for us.

Each Meaniac comes with a 12" x 12" blanket with a Bible verse that speaks to the feeling the Meaniac embodies. Blankets can be connected together via the snaps to create a larger blanket. Collect all 12 and create a 48" x 36" warm, cozy blanket!

Meaniacs were designed to help kids understand that feeling jealous, sad, or anxious, for example, is normal but it does not define them. God has a lot to say about us in His Word and Meaniacs help drive that point home.

Meaniacs Can Help Raise Confident Kids

Joy is always available to us according to the Bible. If we can teach our kids this foundation, what can stop them?

Feeling weak does not mean we are weak. In fact, the Bible tells us that we can do all things through Jesus who gives us strength.

When your child feels unloved or invisible, Meaniacs remind them that God loves and see them as precious masterpieces

Each Meaniacs is 8" tall and turns inside out to reveal what God says about our worth and emotions

Confident, Happy, Kids
