A couple years ago I received an email from Elise Blaha Cripe with an invitation to co-author an eBook that would share our experiences as handmade shop owners & entrepreneurs. At the time, I had recently finished a 31-days series on the topic (Handmade Business in 31 Days), and although I had written 31 different… [Read More]

“I can do hard things.”

September 11, 2015 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood

I’ve found myself in a little groove lately. Not necessarily one I want to be in, but one that’s easy to settle into, especially when things get a little crazy and I need to “get the job done.” It started before Zack went to New York for nine days (again), and then of course became… [Read More]

Working in 20-minute increments.

Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood, sewing

I’m a dreamer. An idea-maker. A plan-outliner. A talk-it-out-er. When something new comes to mind I instantly feel like I can conquer all of my ideas with the snap of two fingers. It feels so easy. And then, I get myself all set up and ready to begin, only then to do what I do… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun

August has felt like a big month: Finishing a large writing deadline. Planning for 9 days of Zack away on a work trip (he left yesterday morning). Setting my calendar so I know exactly what to work on once it’s time to work. Picking a new book club book. And, discussing this book at book… [Read More]

I recently recorded a podcast with Jen & Danielle of She Percolates and we had a great conversation chatting about the various ways my businesses have changed over the years, including unemployment, childcare help, starting a book club, and future projects! It is a great episode, and it was so fun to reminisce over the… [Read More]

August 19, 2015 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration

Something I’ve come to realize is that we as women need to be better at taking care of our selves. We have perfected the art of doing “just one more thing”, but that’s not the best action plan. Instead, the real solution is two-fold: saying “no” to things that aren’t a good use of our… [Read More]
