Fun Stuff


As far as we know, there is no person named Oliebollen. We haven't checked on that though, so we could be wrong. Oliebollen is a place on the Internet where you can find irresistible goods for children. We're certain about that.
 
Oliebol is also the Dutch word for a traditional holiday cake that is deep-fried like a donut. The literal English translation of Oliebollen (the plural form) is "oil dough balls". Less careful translators call them Dutch donuts. But we know better.
 
So why do we call our positively inedible store Oliebollen? All we can say is, when we heard the word, we just knew it was right. Its fresh sense of fun perfectly reflects what we do and why we do it. And since we have fully disclosed our purely altruistic intent, we don't feel that using Oliebollen as the name of our dough-ball free store does any harm. If you disagree, or you know someone named Oliebollen, drop us an e-mail and share your thoughts... gently please.

The Founding Mothers

Oliebollen.com is a small, mother-owned company located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was founded by me, Margaret Schankler, a former stay-at-home mom with a stubborn addiction to childish living. Now that I'm out of the house, I spend my days running Oliebollen.com so that you can stop running for a minute and get a little cool shopping done. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions. Just e-mail me anytime at margaret@oliebollen.com. Thanks for stopping by!

Our wonderful art is created by fellow mom and partner Deb Pilutti. She is too cool for words.
