We're Keaton and Ashley—a husband-and-wife team raising two little ones in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and making candles along the way!

What started in our kitchen as a way to create safer, cleaner candles for our own family has grown into a small business rooted in faith, family, and making home feel a little cozier.

After Ashley was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, we started paying closer attention to what we were bringing into our home. Keaton decided to try his hand at making candles with ingredients we could feel good about—and, well, here we are!

Today, every candle is hand-poured with 100% soy wax and thoughtfully selected certified clean fragrances. We believe the little things matter, whether it's gathering around the dinner table, slowing down with your favorite people, or lighting a candle after a long day.

But our story goes beyond making homes smell amazing. After walking through some unexpected challenges as a family, God opened our hearts to finding ways this little business could bring hope, comfort, and encouragement to others through our Holding Hope Project.

We're incredibly grateful that something so simple has allowed us to share a little piece of our family with yours. Thanks for supporting our small business, cheering us on, and being part of our story.

We're so glad you're here. Welcome to the Candles By A Dad family!
