Hello! I am Bree-
I am a SAHM that has 2 adorable, amazing children. I have discovered that even with 2 kids that staying busy is something that seems to be a must for me! I am one of those people that if I can’t find it in a store (or it’s over prices) I take on the craft store to try and figure it out myself. Two of those projects has ’evolved’ into making memory boxes and pacifier keepers.
Pacifier keeper story: When my son was in born he was in the NICU for a short time. There they liberally used the pacifiers and I let them. Well, I had 2 sent home with me and couldn’t find more in the stores so I made a ‘keeper’ to make sure we never lost them (which we never did!). Since I have had my niece as my tester and my son to help me tweak this to be safe items, however fashionable! I also have located the same pacifiers and also sell those too!
Memory box story: When my daughter was born my aunt sent a very cute hat box and inside a personal note to her stating this box could be a place to store love notes. Well, I filled it up rather quickly with items from her 1st year. When my second came along I thought he should have a box also and wanted it to match his room. (Who was going to send a hat box for my son, so I made one.) I bought 2 paper mache boxes, painted them with matching paint and added a couple of things to coordinate with the kids’ room, each child receiving a matching box. I loved it and – it has grown from there. I have made them for grandparents and friends for a variety of reasons and even have both of the pacifier keepers and boxes in a unique gift shop in West Jefferson Oh (The Abbey Gift Shop).

On a personal note- I do the best I can to love God, love my family and love what I am doing- I try and get things right the first time, learn from my mistakes and overall just be proud of my efforts in all of those categories. My 2 tots keep me busy but they are so amazing and have changed my life for the better! When TV isn’t rough, kids are in bed and my mind isn’t settling down- off I go onto a new project!
I am thankful you stopped in to check me out. I am ever so evolving and getting better so I welcome any and all comments, feedbacks, followers and friends!
