About the Author

Hello...and Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by, and I hope you'll be back again and again!

I'm Heather, a single mom to four beautiful kiddos, a full-time bookkeeper for a national association, a part-time stylist for a well-known clothing company, and a manager for a local musician. Add part-time blogger to the list just to keep things interesting! 

Our loud, fun, crazy, creative, energetic house has a wealth of wisdom, inspiration, creativity, hilarity and love to share with you, so at the recommendation of a sweet friend, I decided to start this blog.

I'm sure I will talk about my kids often, so here is a brief intro to my people:

My oldest daughter, Avery, is a college student in Nashville. She is an aspiring musician, a driven student, a creative old-soul, and she has a determination and dedication that is unstoppable. When she sets her mind to something, you better belive she will succeed. Her strong spirit can be a momming challenge at times, but I know God has big plans for her and that tenacity will pay off! Avery is my Pinterest advisor, so all things Pinterest you see in this site almost definitely came from her!

My second born, Tanner, who I affectionately refer to as "man-child", is taller than me and probably smarter too. Tanner knows ALL THINGS tech! His passion is computers...building them, fixing them, buying them, gaming on them, and learning more about computers each day. The amount of knowledge this kid can spew at me regarding technology is intimidating, impressive, and sometimes numbing! Tanner is my resident tech-support advisor, and he's also a percussionist in his high school band and assists with sound engineering at church.

Arlee is my third-born tiny human. She is a feisty, free-spirited, colorful, creative middle-schooler...smack-dab in the middle of pre-teen angst. Arlee is also a driven student, and she loves to draw, paint, sing, and play the piano. Most surfaces in my house have some sort of "Arlee" paint spill or stain on them...we have learned to call that "character". My kitchen table has a lot of character.

Tate is the baby of the bunch. He was a surprise and he continues to surprise us every day. Tate is loud, fast, spirited, opinionated, and the pickiest eater I have ever met! He's also smart, helpful, cuddly, creative, energetic, and the boy can dance! His siblings say he has two-personalties...one is "Sweet Tate" and the other is...not.

My crew keeps me on my toes, and I try to handle each day with grace and positivity, but I've faced a few challenges in recent years that have led me to feel judged and rejected more than I ever have in my 40+ years. Instead of sitting in that pain, I've made it my mission to love others and accept them as they are. I love deep conversations and building relationships, and I am notorious for over-sharing. I think that makes people feel comfortable sharing with me, and I often tell people "we don't judge here" because I want them to feel safe to share with me too. I have made more than my share of mistakes. I do not want to be judged by my mistakes, so I don't judge yours. I hope this encourages you today, and I hope you'll be back to read more as I grow this site.

Much Love! ~ Heather
