Today I want to talk about a customer of mine who had an amazing result. M purchased a set of Dear Mama prints for her friend who is a new mama. The result was that this new mama felt loved. Which is something ALL new mamas need to be feeling right now! Here’s what M had to say about her experience, “I love this product. Usually the babies are showered before they’re born and have plenty of things they need. I love that there is finally a product I can give to the mothers!! Sometimes I feel like new moms are overlooked in the postpartum period, I love that I can order these for new moms and drop them off...
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 This has been a long time favorite scripture of mine. I think it can be hard to have confidence in ourselves, especially as mamas. It’s easy to spiral into thoughts of not being good enough or not being the “best mom”.

Save this post for when you need a reminder that you’re not doing motherhood alone, you have Christ right there to help...

So yes, you could say I’m a fan of planning. Here’s how it’s been working lately: I have two main goals I want to accomplish for the rest of the year. Based on those goals I will planned out the next six months. (Sounds like a lot, but once it’s broken down it becomes totally doable.) First I print out a loose calendar and write down my main goals (i.e. product launches, course launches, big events, etc.). Then I start to plan backwards. So if I’m launching a new product...
I’ve shared this before, but when I started lettering I just jumped right in. I didn’t take a class or read a book. I just looked at peoples styles and mimicked their letters. This was fine for a while, until I wanted to develop a personal style. It was then I realized that I would need some basic knowledge about letter forms and lettering to be able to do that. One of the first things I learned about are guides. Now I love using them!! Anyone else a major fan?? So let’s talk about what makes up basic guides (video below that walks you through it): ✍🏼 The Baseline: The line that all letters sit and start on. ✍🏼 The...
