Working from home definitely has it benefits, but it also presents its challenges. When I began my business almost 5 years ago, I had a small desk tucked into a nook in our bedroom. I spent many hours here designing mostly digital items; holding and breastfeeding my newborn at the same time. Eventually, I had to add a small worktable (also in our room) where I could assemble baby books, my newest product addition. I guess you could say that’s where it all began. We moved houses just in time as my business began to grow, and now I had...

(scroll down for your free downloadable Valentine's Day card!) Remember that person you married? The one you’ve laughed with, cried with, created and birthed babies with?

Friday is National Coloring Day, so I figured I’d help you celebrate by putting together some free downloadable coloring pages for your kiddos (but I won’t tell if you want to color them, too)!

In celebration of a new school year, I whipped up some free mobile wallpapers to get you in the mood. Click below to download them!         Matching Products:School Years Memory Book

Now that school is out, I feel like I have a moment to breathe and actually sit and wade through the mountain of school papers, photos and artwork that my kids have brought home over the course of the last year.

While I try to keep the important things from the year, it can be really hard to decide what school papers to keep and what to throw out. And once I do decide, how do I organize it all? Where do I store it?

Don’t worry friends, I actually have an answer to that!
