Hi, friends! It's been awhile, but I wanted to pop in today to share with you not one, but three of my neighbor friends and their latest ventures. I've said it before, but moving into this neighborhood has been the biggest blessing. Craig has a solid group of guy friends, I have my mom tribe, and the boys have umpteen friends within a stone's throw of our backyard. I remember crying and crying about leaving our old house, our first house, but now I look back and realize that God had a plan for us and it was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I am grateful every day for this neighborhood, these friends, and this life we live. Anyway, enough of the sappiness, on to the reason for my post.
Three of my neighbor friends have recently taken on new roles. They are mamas first, but each has recently taken a leap of faith and created a business invovling something they love...mompreneurs, if you will! Today I want to share with you their three businesses!
A Seasoned Pot.

First up, my friend Ali. She adores all things gardening. She probably knew more about plants at age ten than I do at 34. She has been our go-to girl for landscaping advice these past two summers. Her business, A Seasoned Pot, is focused on container designs--meaning she will take your planter and turn it into a beautiful, seasonal arrangement of plants. That's always my problem. I don't know how to mix plants of varying kinds, sizes, colors, etc. and make them look good. But Ali is amazing at doing just that and I am in awe of every single planter she puts together. She also makes a killer eucalyptus wreath. And because it's real eucalyptus, the smell is to die for! Here are the holiday planters she created for us, as well as her eucalyptus holiday wreath.
If you are local and interested in a planter, do yourself a favor and contact her. And if you're not local, she is willing and able to ship you a wreath! Please contact her for details!
KP Designs.

Next is my friend, Kristen. Like myself, Kristen is a high school teacher, though she teaches classes way more fun than mine (think fashion, interior design, things of that sort). And soon, Kristen will begin working for a local mom who recently landed her own DIY Network t.v. show. Cool, huh? Anyway, Kristen's side gig, KP Designs, is an interior decorating business created to help you plan, visualize, and create the space of your dreams. I can vouch that Kristen's home is decorated beautifully and I often joke that I want her to come decorate my house. So whether you want someone to help you spruce up your decor (from near or far) or maybe you just like to follow pretty accounts on Instagram, go check her out today!
Sunflower Steals.

And finally, my friend Vanessa. Chances are, you and your best friend are already a part of Sunflower Steals because Vanessa grew her little business from zero to a million (not quite, but close) followers, like, overnight. That's how great this group is! Vanessa posts all sorts of amazing deals - kids toys, women's clothing, home decor, even discount codes to use at your favorite stores! She also hosts pretty sweet giveaways that you definitely don't want to miss! And her kids make frequent appearances in the photos and they are adorable. Reason enough to follow along, right?! So, if somehow, you're not a part of this group already, please click here and join! I promise, you won't regret it. (Well, your bank account might....)
That's it for today! I'm going to try to up my blogging game because I've got Christmas cards to share, a first birthday party to recap, and first day of school photos to post. 😂 Happy Monday!
