Labor Day weekend 2017 was definitely one for the record books! It started on Saturday with Erin’s bridal shower, which was absolutely beautiful! Then 16 of us went to the cabin to continue the celebration for Erin’s bachelorette party, which we named #McIlmania! It was so fun to spend time with my friends since childhood, […]

Back in February, I signed up for my first Creative at Heart Conference. At the time, I had no idea just how transformative this conference would be for me because I was in a different season of my business.

Another three-day weekend is in the books and it was one to remember! Backstory for those who don’t know: my best friend Beeb and I were born on the same day, only 8 hours apart in the same hospital. (I’m the younger one) My mom even heard her mom while she was in labor! Crazy. […]

Any weekend where I can be at home crossing multiple items off of my to-do list is the perfect weekend in my eyes! And that’s just what I did the last two days. On Saturday, we participated in our neighborhood’s community yard sale and actually got rid of a ton of things that were just […]
