About Us

Hi, I’m Consuelo.

I’m a mom of two and the founder of Hugs & Tales.

I, along with my husband created Hugs & Tales because we wanted something simple: a meaningful way for families to bring Scripture, prayer, and the stories of Jesus into their everyday bedtime routine.

As we thought more about what we wanted Hugs & Tales to be, I remembered the Jesus Plush I had made for my nephew a few years ago. It wasn’t perfect, but he loved it, and he still loves and holds onto it today.

That’s when the idea of thoughtfully designed, scripture-based bedtime stories, paired with a comforting companion came to be.

What started with a little handmade Jesus plush for my nephew grew into something much bigger β€” Our goal is to build a brand around helping families create moments of faith, comfort, and connection before bed.

What We Believe

β€œTrain up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

What Makes Hugs & Tales Different

  • Rooted in Scripture

    Our stories are written with care and stay true to God’s Word.

  • Not a Sleep Aid

    We don’t help children fall asleep. We simply create stories and products that fit naturally into the moments families share before bedtime.

  • Not a Content Factory

    We’re not trying to churn out hundreds of stories every month. We focus on quality, meaningful stories families will actually want to return to.

  • Dreamtime & Storytime

    Two ways to experience the same story β€” one slower, gentler telling and the other for a more engaging experience.

Our Hope Is Simple.

That children would grow up knowing the stories, words and love of Jesus β€” not just at church, but in the everyday moments that shape their hearts. Especially bedtime.

Something True … Every Night.
