About Me:
I'm a mom with 3 young sons, ages 6 and under. I have a "9-to-5" as a research coordinator, but the artist in me comes alive from 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. I live in the Maryland DC metro area.
Favorite area of home improvement:
I'm passionate about creating, and my love of thrift stores and second-hand, along with my blog, is the perfect platform for my love of creativing and inspirting others!
