Interview with Jessica Curry, Founder of The Little Loop + Little Nest Community

I was introduced to Little Nest Community earlier this summer. It’s a wonderful resource for families with little ones (think toddlers and babies).

There are three components of Little Nest Community:

• The Little Loop – a clothing swap platform
• eCommerce Shop – offers preschool essentials, greeting cards, etc.
• The Perch Blog – helpful parenting articles

The Little Loop matches you with families so that you can pass gently used clothes on and then get new-to-you clothing in return.

Little Nest Community has an eCommerce section with cute greeting cards. I just love their line of thank you cards!

They also have an adorable collection of children’s apology cards that help little ones say ‘I’m sorry’ with creativity and confidence. These are perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and early learners. I’m not a toddler anymore, but I sure could use these cards and stickers! 🙂

I really like the concept of this organization. Recently I had the opportunity to interview Jessica Curry and find out what inspired her to create Little Nest Community!

I love the mission behind Little Nest Community! How/why did you begin your business?

Jessica: The idea behind The Little Loop—and Little Nest Community more broadly—really started as both a personal and professional realization.

As a mom of two and a former retail strategist at Nordstrom, I saw just how fast kids outgrow clothes and how much waste that creates, both in our homes and across the industry. I had piles of perfectly good clothes that no longer fit my kids, and I knew I couldn’t be the only one. Then, during the LA fires, something powerful happened—people from all over the country began sending me their kids’ outgrown clothes so I could share them with local families in need. It was this beautiful moment of moms supporting moms, and it made me think: what if this wasn’t just something we did in times of crisis? What if we could make this kind of sharing part of everyday life?

That was the spark. I started The Little Loop to make it easier for parents to pass along gently-loved clothes and receive what they need in return. It’s built on the belief that sustainability shouldn’t feel like a chore—it should feel like community care.

As a working mother, what is one tip or piece of advice you’d give to other female entrepreneurs?

Jessica: Bet on yourself—loudly. I’m raising a daughter and a son, and I think a lot about what they see when they look at me. I want my daughter to know she has options—that fulfillment can come from being a mom, a founder, or both. And I want her to believe in herself enough to go for whatever she dreams up. Because if she doesn’t believe in herself, who will?

I also want my son to grow up thinking it’s completely normal—and awesome—for women to be ambitious. Moms wear a lot of hats. Sometimes those hats are messy buns and sometimes they’re CEO. That’s the beauty of it.

The Little Loop is a peer-to-peer kids’ clothing sharing platform. What do you like best about having this community?

Jessica: Hands down, the moms. There’s just something really special about connecting with other women who get it. We’re all navigating this wild ride called parenthood, and while our approaches may differ, we all want what’s best for our kids.

The Little Loop started as an idea based on one simple observation: moms show up for each other. And that’s exactly what this community has become—a space where sustainability and support go hand in hand. It reminds me that our instinct to nurture doesn’t stop with our own families. We’re built to lift each other up, too.

If there’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your business, what would it be?

Jessica: That nothing happens overnight. And even if you’ve got a solid plan A, there’s a good chance you’ll end up riding with plan D—and maybe even plan Q—before things click.

There are hiccups, plot twists, and more than a few “what am I doing?” moments. But that’s all part of building something real. My advice? Don’t get discouraged. Keep showing up, keep pivoting, and don’t be afraid to take the long way there. It’s usually where the best stories happen anyway.
