Iβve been doing a lot of reading lately (mini update: Iβm up to 42 for the year!! And Iβve started logging ALL my booksβ¦ will do a bigger update later). Because Iβve been in BookTok and StoryGraph communities a little more, I keep adding books other people are suggesting to my βto readβ list. ThereContinue reading “Everyone Has a Story”

Staying Motivated
So far, the hardest part about owning a business is staying motivated β especially when work isnβt consistent. With how small my company is, if I canβt work I wonβt make money. On top of that, I am still building my clientele which means I donβt have a bunch of return or word of mouthContinue reading “Staying Motivated”
Purple Pickles!
I LOVE pickles and pickled things! But the problem is, it gets expensive to buy jar after jar. I was eating lunch at my favorite coffee shop and they had pickled onions on the salad. It added something extra that I wanted to put on my packed salads, but the pickle brine would work forContinue reading “Purple Pickles!”
Money Tree Cuttings
Over the last few years, Iβve been getting more and more into plants. Seeing how they grow and learning more about how each one works is so amazing! Itβs definitely a learning curve but the more I learn, the better I get at growing instead of killing my plants. And the more green I seeContinue reading “Money Tree Cuttings”
To Bee Continued
Today Iβm taking a trip back to paper crafting. I had a little time to get in the craft room this weekend and wanted to make something useful but cute. I had a lot of things I wanted to try with materials in the garage. I had wine glasses to make into candle holders, thinContinue reading “To Bee Continued”
You are a Badass
Iβm not normally one for self-help books because they usually have the βpull yourself up by your boot strapsβ mentality and forget that important things cost a lot of money. Iβm all for working hard and figuring out where I can save more and spend lessβ¦ but especially with prices going up for everything, itContinue reading “You are a Badass”
Trash to Treasure
This project has a bit of a backstory and may encourage pack rat tendencies (sorry in advance!). Okay, so in December, I was working in a clientβs closet and realized that her clothes were so heavy they were pulling her shelves off of the wall. Luckily, Jarod is a handyman with design experience so IContinue reading “Trash to Treasure”
Upcycled Tin Cans
Today I have a pretty quick craft for you! I was scouring Etsy and Pinterest looking at things I could make for fun with things around the house. I came across an Etsy page of a woman who makes tons of designs using tin cans. Some were painted one color and had some twine, andContinue reading “Upcycled Tin Cans”
Upcycled Desk
Todayβs project was supposed to be a simple flip. In mid-January, Jarod found this childβs desk on Facebook Marketplace and we thought about how to fix it up. The first idea was just to clean off the stickers and repaint it, but the desk is so small we werenβt sure how it would sell. WeContinue reading “Upcycled Desk”
Busy Work
Jobs like the one I have ebb and flow. Some months, Iβm turning away clients and wishing I had employees. Other months, Iβm grabbing at scraps and jumping on any potential client to get as many bookings as I can. In the beginning of a slow time, I tend to be excited. I spend timeContinue reading “Busy Work”
