We had the good fortune of connecting with Matthew and Christine Clark and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Matthew and Christine, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
Listening/talking to them, interacting and spending quality time with them, and getting to know them as their own person really sets a solid foundation for our relationship as parents and children. They trust you, they respect you and vice versa. Communication is so important especially as they get older and to know your kids and have established trust is priceless.

On top of that, we are working hard to build a legacy for our family and to show them that we can achieve our dreams. The road may not be easy but the journey together makes it all worthwhile.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
We are a modern bounce house rental company who offers balloon and vinyl customizations on our aesthetically-pleasing, all white bounce houses. We work with our clients to create bespoke entertainment/centerpieces for their special occasions which can range from baby showers, birthdays, to weddings. Whatever they’re celebrating, we’re ready to join! We aim to go above and beyond for our clients to alleviate any stress that we know party planning can cause!

When we started this business, we had no idea what to expect in terms of demand. But we are so proud of our growth within the last year and we are so excited to keep this momentum going with new bounce house additions! We owe it all to our clients!

Our toughest challenge was becoming small business owners with two little ones at home. Learning how to keep a healthy work-life balance took some time to learn but it’s also so great because we get to include the kids on a lot of our adventures. They get to be involved and see their parents working as a team. We are truly blessed.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We definitely have to include going to the beach on the list! Visit the seals at La Jolla Cove, ride the rollercoaster at Belmont Park, and cross the Coronado Bridge. For drinks and nightlife, Downtown is a must! And if the Padres are in town, we would definitely take them to a game. We love North Park for the small shops and hipster vibes and good eats along Convoy St in Kearny Mesa.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Our friends, Oanh and Michael Bautista of Bounce Couture based in LA, have just been our biggest cheerleaders, mentors, and friends. They are truly people we call family and, without a doubt, we would not be here today without their love and guidance.
