We had such big plans for 2020… a trip to Japan that our kids have been working and saving for over a year now (it was going to be our first real family vacay!), a homeschool field trip to DC, several gigs and conferences I had are canceled, and the kids are severely missing their […]
Handmade with JOANN
I have HUGE news I’ve been keeping since the beginning of the year… JOANN chose me as a Handmade Hero! Pinch me (no wait, don’t…I don’t want to wake up). I can’t even begin to tell you how humbled and honored I am to have been asked to be featured in their handmade with JOANN […]
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: 2017 In Review…
Oh my goodness, is it an age thing? It’s because I’m 35 now right? I mean, I swear 2017 just started a minute ago. How is it now 2018?? You know what else is freaking me out, I officially became the mom of a teenager in 2017. It makes me feel so old…which is weird because […]
