About Me

About me……hmm. how to start? Well, I guess I will start with the reason for this blog. I love having a creative outlet. Whether that be creating new looks, sharing my personal style, decorating our home, refurbishing furniture, re-creating recipes found on Pinterest (because I have no time to just be coming up with my own recipes 🙃), or crafting, I wanted a place to share the things I love.

I am a mom! I am mom to a little girl, KQ, and my son Caleb, who became my guardian angel on November 4, 2018….the 10 years I got with him, were the most important 10 years of my life. Grief is a hard thing. I know I grieve so hard because I loved him with my entire being. Life with Caleb with has made me so appreciative of every little thing that some people may take for granted. He has the best smile, and is the happiest kid I know. I can’t wait to join him in Heaven someday.

I am also married to the love of my life <3 We met October 2013, after only being acquainted through facebook and mutual friends. We got married July 1, 2017- He is truly my soulmate. We laugh, we talk, we love our life together.
