I can't believe that we're on the cusp of another year. How in the world is it already New Year's Eve? I should mention that New Year's Eve is our 7th wedding anniversary. Here we are- young and in love... and babies. Good Lord we were babies. And a mere 7 years...
No More Shame, Dear Eve.
I should let you know that I'm on the verge of ugly crying as I write this. I came across this picture on Facebook today as I scrolled through my feed. I almost passed right by it but thankfully it caught my eye and now my heart is exploding from all that this...
5 Tips to Dominate Craft Shows and Pop Up Shops
I've been doing craft shows for about 6 years now with my crafting BFF, Marisela. She and I started out as total rookies, but we've learned a ton. We both started our Etsy stores before we entered the craft show game and while there are a few similarities there are...

Harvest In Me + Harvest Wreath DIY
I’m totes an amateur gardener. I’ve been working towards conquering gardening for maybe… 5 years now? I started out when we were BA-ROKE thinking that it would be a “cheaper and easier way to feed my family”, which sends me into hysterical laughing fits now. ...
