It’s been a full year (plus some days, because #harvey) since I started this little blog of mine! It’s hard to believe. I’ve run several blogs in the past, but none that I devoted nearly this much time to. This blog is my passion project. My blood, sweat, and tears. It contains so much of […]
We all have our own ways of keeping up with our goals, dreams, and ideas. Today, I am going to share mine. I’ve shared a lot in the past about my planners and bullet journal, but this post is going to expose another side to my planning. The sloppy side. The messy stuff. I’ve been […]
When I first started this blog, I already had a full-time business and volunteer schedule. I was just looking for a creative outlet that could maybe bring in a little side cash. Since I have always loved blogging, this was the perfect venture for me. I wanted it to be fun, but I also wanted to […]
We’re coming up on the end of July, and with that, it means back-to-school season! This season always means a lot of changes. For example, I always have to take time to get organized again! I am a huge planner nerd, but I tend to spend the entire summer being spontaneous and not writing anything […]
Have you ever taken a minute to scroll through the #adulting hashtag on Twitter? If so, you’ll think being an adult is the hardest thing ever. It’s no piece of cake, I’ll admit that! However, it’s a normal part of life that doesn’t really deserve as much kudos as it gets. So, what do people […]
Well, June is almost over, which means it’s time to get ready for July! I can’t believe our summer is almost half-way over already! We just bought our above-ground pool this weekend! But, I guess it really is true. Since it’s the last week of the month, I am working on my monthly planning for July. […]
Are you a mom, building a business from home? I know first-hand just how isolating that can be. It’s hard to find support, encouragement, and a trustworth tribe. If you long for connections with other work-at-home moms, I’ve got just the place for you. Introducing Building Our Empires: The Group! I have planned to make […]
I don’t know about you, but I work a lot better when my workspace is organized and serene. Having an organized workspace allows me to come to work focused and less stressed. Don’t get me wrong. My desk frequently looks like a “Pinterest fail,” especially when I’m busy researching and writing new posts. I don’t think a […]
Have you ever copied someone? Even just a little? I know I have! And even if you don’t want to admit it, you probably have, too. When I started my first business, I had a very specific style, and I became known for it. I didn’t have the trendiest products, though, so I watched other’s […]
About 9 years ago, I decided I wanted to learn to crochet. I had a newborn baby and I was living in a state that had a winter season for the first time in my life. We also didn’t have any money, so I couldn’t afford to buy quality hats. My grandmother had taught me the […]
