Hi Reader, I'm reeling that we're only a day shy of being in October. Seems like we just started 2025, let alone the 'Ber months. I'm barely used to writing '25 for the year, and now I'm going to have to readjust all over again. While my business isn't where I want it to be, I'm still proud of my progress. I've just updated my website, aiming to make it more functional and appealing to my visitors. I'd love to get your thoughts on the design, the functionality, and the navigation. In the...

Hiya Reader A lot of events are happening right now, both in the virtual world and in live action. It's FINALLY fall, and this lady couldn't be more excited. As we head to the busiest months of the year, I'm in full craft mode. For years, I've gone the consumer route and plied our children with overly expensive junk they rarely touch. But over the last 18 months, our family has made a significant switch to homemade over commercial items. We've been doing a ton of growing our own food, cooking...

Hi Reader, I hope you've had a great week until now and are on the path to finish strong for the rest of the month. We're almost to fall, and this gal couldn't be more excited. It's my favorite time of year. I'm deep into my goal of moving into a more natural lifestyle before 2026, and I'm inviting my friends to join me by joining my latest challenge, Replace This with That. Every day for 30 days, we'll replace one less-than-healthy store-bought item with a safer, natural homemade one. From...

Howdy Reader, I hope you had a great weekend and are on track for a productive and profitable week. Things are pretty busy around here, as is typical for the life of a WFHM juggling a crafting obsession, an online store, and a freelance business (I still have two spots open for new clients - contact me about my writing, VA work, product creation, business coaching, and DFY offers). We just celebrated the last birthday of the year with an end-of-summer pool party for our youngest daughter, who...

Hey there Reader, OK, say it with me, "Building my list is EASY!" There, we got that out of the way. It's all in how you look at things. I've devoted 2025 to my email list, although I'm still inconsistent while juggling the growth of my store, website, and opening my freelance business up to new clients for the first time in a few years. I have the subscriber numbers, but minimal results for my efforts. From a list of 900+, I might get 100 email opens, 30 clicks, and one to two responses. How...

Hi Reader, Are you through with me? I'll be cleaning out my closet email list soon (I'm inspired by the upcoming Get Organized virtua event - respond to this email to get info), getting rid of subscribers from years ago who haven't engaged with me in forever. Want to make sure you stay on my list and continue to get access to amazing stuff? Respond to this email or fill out my intro form. Have you ever had those days where you feel like all of your work is for nothing and you consider...

Hi Reader, Ever wonder if you're doing the right thing?Like maybe you should give up on your dreams and get something stable... even if it means sacrificing your sanity and freedom? Same. 😩 Walking away from the traditional 9–5 to build a business from your kitchen table (or couch, or carpool lane) is terrifying — and exhausting. I’ve been doing this for two decades (yep, even before the pandemic made WFH trendy), and there are still days where the hustle is real... and the crickets are loud....
