Cat Pagoaga
Founder & Editor
After deciding to leave her research job in 2012 to become a stay-at-home mom, Cat had to drastically cut back the household spending. During this time, she came to appreciate a good deal, especially on high-quality items and brands—and she had the research skills to find them. That, combined with her love of children’s clothing and design, was the beginning of Thrifty Littles. Eight years in, she is happy to be on this journey, helping modern parents live a beautiful life on a budget. When Cat is not hunting down deals, you can find her carpooling her 3 kids around, on scooter rides with her family, and working on her 1929 house.
Kayla Coffland
Managing Editor
Kayla is a born and raised Minnesotan who was made for someplace much warmer! As a virtual assistant, she loves helping Cat do all the things—from designing pretty graphics to formatting blog posts. She may not be a mama yet, but her nephew and niece have definitely stolen her heart. When she is not being tempted to spoil her tiny family members with all the Thrifty Little deals, Kayla is singing and songwriting, finding her zen practicing yoga, getting artsy with her love of lettering, and probably brewing another cup of coffee.
