About Me:
We are a mother/daughter duo who love to blog about decorating, budget finds, repurposing items that maybe should have been thrown away, food, DIY projects, and our travels. Our blog is unusual because we live in two different parts of the country and are experiencing two different seasons of our lives. Therefore, calling ourselves The 2 Seasons just feels right. We have something for everyone here at the mother/daughter blog.
