I met Jared Price at Idaho State University my sophomore year of college. We were married 6 months later and our first child Presli, arrived about a year and a half after that. Riegan followed a year later, and Saylor a year after that. In between having babies I ran a dance studio I had owned since the age of 17. With my first pregnancy, I discovered an insatiable craving for sno cones, so we bought a sno cone business and I sat and ate/sold sno cones during the summer of my first pregnancy while Jared ran his roofing company and attended classes.

Jared's schooling soon put us on the move during medical school, residency, and a fellowship. The boys decided it was their turn on Earth and Saxton Mickhi and Rockne joined our family. With five children born in seven years, we were never short messes in our home. In my quest for a perfect home (is there such a thing?) I found myself becoming very inventive, and finding many situations that called for products that didn't exist.

Having retained the Popsicle thirst from my first pregnancy, Popsicles have always been a staple in our house. Even in the winter I eat about three a day. I found myself constantly wiping up puddles on countertops and throwing away stained summer clothing I'd just spent the weekend sewing. After some crude drawings, a meeting with manufacturers and some tear-filled calls to my in-laws for financing, Price Products was formed and the Dripstik was born.

Life has not been the same since. With many other products on the way, our main focus is keeping our products Made in the USA and using minimal, low waste, economical packaging.

Always believe in yourself, or no one else will-

Because I'm always asked, (and I do consider myself a Popsicle connoisseur) my favorite Popsicles are Sundae Shoppe Sugar Free Junior Pops (in the yellow box at Aldi). I love their texture. I couldn't possible name my favorite ice cream, there are simply to many. But my favorite way to eat it is in a cone or dish with a small amount of milk poured over the top so that it forms a thin ice-y crust. Popsicle or cone, it's always eaten in a Dripstik because I'm usually at my desk and I need to be able to set it down.

We're serious about this at our house!
