Hello there! I thought I would start my first post with a little introduction and small explanation of what I will be doing here. My name is Carrie and I am a wife to a handsome firefighter and a mom to two wonderful kiddos. My mister is 9 and my little lady is 8. We recently moved to Lampasas, TX due to my husbands job. We could have moved in closer to Austin but we prefer the small town feel and love it here. I am a wannabe Homesteader and would love to live on some land with a large garden and farm animals. We did recently get a mini potbelly pig we named Debbie....who I am sure you will see more of around here. My son has pet allergies and she has been a great alternative for us. I will have to be okay with my pig and small garden since that is what our lot will allow us, but I still do plan on getting chickens soon!

As far as what I want to get out of this blog....I am not quite sure to be honest with you. I have always loved to create things, whether it be painting, drawing, building, sewing, gardening, designing....you name it. My dream has always been to create something to sell to generate a little more income for my family while doing something that I love. I have come up with numerous ideas large and small, but nothing has ever panned out due to busyness of life or lack of direction. I recently made some little scarf bibs for my beautiful niece and well, they turned out pretty cute and were so fun to make....

...and this is what has sparked my new endeavor. I am super excited to get creative again and use a gift and passion that I know the Lord has given me.  I love children and love creating things for them and their spaces....so I plan on focusing the things I make for children of all ages. My husband might even get involved and build a few plans of mine and you might even see a few guest posts from my children.
I was a stay-at-home mom for 8 years and would also love to share the things I have learned through the years or information I have found on raising young ones...as well as fun crafts and activities to do with them. Please visit my Pinterest page where I have already pinned a lot of fun stuff from fun activities, decorating their spaces, and even the difficult task of organizing and feeding the kiddos. You will find the link  in the sidebar.
My Etsy store will be opened by the end of April. I will be sure to announce it here and will be sharing some sneak peeks until then.
Hope y'all had a great Easter weekend...
