My Top Ten Craft Supplies
I love craft supplies. I could spend the entire day in Hobby Lobby, and I’m guessing I’m not alone. I wander the aisles and come up with all sorts of fun projects that I have absolutely no time to make but somehow make anyway. It’s an addiction. So I thought it would be fun to […]
An Inspired Evening at the Barn {recap}
A few weeks ago we held the “Inspired Evening at the Barn” event as a fundraiser for our adoption, and it was one of the most special nights I’ve experienced! This event was on my heart and in my head for 3-4 years, but when I first thought of it, I didn’t realize that it would […]
Necklace Collaboration
I am so excited to share a collaboration that I did with my friend Wanda Graham who has the Etsy shop Pearls ‘n Joy, where she sells handcrafted jewelry. Not only does she create beautiful pieces, portions of her sales go toward helping families who are adopting. In fact, 20% of the proceeds from these […]
Hello Monday
We just returned from a little vacation at the beach and are getting back to the swing of things (ie. kids are tired, laundry is a mile high, work is waiting), but I am excited for a brand new week! As much as I love vacation, and this one was one of our favorites, I […]
My Favorite Podcasts
I mentioned in my previous post that I often listen to podcasts while I work. I typically listen to podcasts that encourage me and teach me more about how to improve my business. And, of course, there are podcasts that I listen to purely for entertainment. Here are some of my favorites… :: One of […]
One Year
It has been one year since hubs quit his job, and we took the leap to work together full-time on my little sign-making business. It is crazy that it has been one year already. The weeks just fly by. It is been challenging, exhausting, full of learning opportunities, and completely worth it. I have the […]

Cabinet Makeover
It’s been a while since I’ve painted furniture, and I have MISSED IT. There is just nothing like seeing the potential in an old/junky/dirty piece of furniture and finding out what an amazing difference that paint can make. My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and my husband, who knows me so well, brought […]
Randoms {and a new sign}
This week we went from celebrating the holiday weekend with family to rushing Avery to the ER at Hershey Medical Center. On Sunday she had a collision on her bike with another little girl and had some fairly severe injuries in her mouth. I’ll spare you the details, but she got stitched up and needs […]
Adoption t-shirts and an update
A few months ago I designed some t-shirts to sell in my Etsy shop for our adoption fund. You guys, this was SO. MUCH. FUN. I finally got them made and have listed them in my shop for sale. 100% of the proceeds will go to our fund to bring home our little boy from […]
Because sometimes spray painting yard sale junk is the best kind of therapy
Confession: Between running a business, wading through adoption paperwork, and planning a fundraiser event, life is filled to the brim right now and sometimes it gets overwhelming. Especially on a Monday morning when my to-do list is a mile long, and I don’t know where to start. So, I gather my yard sale finds from […]
An Inspired Evening {You are invited!}
Happy Friday friends! I have been having so much fun planning an event as a fundraiser for our adoption. And if you’re local, I would LOVE for you to come! It’s going to be held at the gorgeous new Stoltzfus Homestead barn on June 25. I visited the barn last week and was BLOWN […]
