Before kicking off their Netflix show, Syd and Shea McGee found success on Instagram and YouTube, creating the web series "House to Home" in 2016. By this time, they were already parents to their two oldest daughters, Wren and Ivy. It wasn't until 2021 that the two welcomed their youngest daughter, Margot, to the family.
While not explicitly stated, the five-year gap between their second and third daughter can likely be attributed to their professional growth. In those five years, the couple established their first brick-and-mortar storefront, partnered with Target, published their own book, and landed their Netflix show. Even though they took some time off from expanding their family, it appeared to always be part of the plan.
"I feel like I've always known that there was a third one waiting for us. And so just to have her here feels like I can take a deep breath," Shea told People in 2021. "That rush of emotion doesn't change for me. Even though she was our third, it was still really, really special. And with her, it was just like, we've been waiting a long time for you."
