In one sentence, tell us about yourself?I love Jesus, my family, inspiration, art and writing! 
 Why did you start blogging and how did you start? I was going through some messy stuff in December and I read this quote by Leslie"If you haven't already gathered, or happen to be reading this blog for the first time in your life, I am a melancholy girl through and through. I find beauty in not only the beautiful things in life, but the bittersweet and sad as well. To me, there is something poignantly lovely about the human experience from its splendor to its grief. God created all our emotions, not just the happy ones, and for His good purposes. That's why a good cry can feel so good. And hitting our limits forces us to look outside ourselves for a Savior. It is in the plea, when we're at our end, that we can find that which is truly life-giving. Personally, my moments of deepest grief, deepest pain, have resulted in the most beautiful seasons in my heart. I've met God more intimately in those moments than in all the other pleasant ones combined. What isn't completely lovely about that?" In a moment where I felt alone, I felt heartbroken, angry.....I read this and suddenly felt like someone out in the world possibly understood. In January of this year I started speaking out on my beliefs. 
 How do you prioritize your time? Family first, always. 
 Where do you see yourself, your shop, your blog in 5 years? oh, I hope doing big things!!!! I have many goals up my sleeve so I hope that at least some are accomplished by then!!! 
 Since it is Valentines' month, what is the one thing you admire most about your husband, Chris? He changed my life. Saved me. I owe him everything. I was a different person before I met him! 
 What do you think is the key to any successful marriage? Realizing it isn't made to make you happy, but to make you holy. (although it WILL make you happy)….When you start viewing a marriage that way, expectations and entitlement fade away!
