Welcome to a little glimpse into our family! My husband’s job brought us to Mount Juliet about three years ago. Our daughter and her husband live in Mississippi, our middle son is wrapping up his final year at MSU, and our youngest, Paxton, is in high school. You’ll often see him playing or helping out around the toy store!

Paxton was adopted from China when he was almost three years old. After experiencing early neglect, he’s faced some developmental challenges, but he loves life and is one happy kid. His story, along with my background as a kindergarten teacher, is what sparked the dream of opening a toy store back in Mississippi. I missed it deeply and believe every town needs a toy store. After much prayer, my husband and I decided to open one in Mount Juliet!

At Oodle Lollies, we believe in the power of play — to spark imagination, build confidence, and help kids learn and grow. Our goal is to offer a thoughtful mix of educational, creative, and just plain fun toys that bring smiles to kids (and parents!) alike.

We look forward to meeting you and learning more about your family! -Bethany Mathis, Owner
