EMMA AND ELLIE'S MAMA. WIFE. ENTREPRENEUR.
REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL. CREATIVE SOUL.
MAMA
“Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are.” ~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher
My children are my greatest gifts and my biggest treasures. They changed my life and became my world. So much of who I am and what I do are because of them.
I hope that you connect with my stories, find joy in the little things, love the products I create, and find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in this big old village! We’re all in this together and we can change the world, one tiny little mind at a time.
To all the mamas and daddies doing their best in this crazy world, this website is for you…
WIFE
There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. ~ Homer
My husband is my best friend, my confidant, and my biggest supporter.
Like most, we’ve had our shares of ups and downs. We’ve had losses that almost broke us individually and as a couple. We’ve had our hearts broken in ways I would never wish about another soul, but we’ve managed to make it through time and time again.
We’re not perfect, but we’re perfect for each other and have created a life for ourselves.
ENTREPRENEUR
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” ~ Helen Keller
For as long as I can remember, my dream was to simply be home for my children… to have dinner as a family each and every night. I knew that the only way I could do that was to work for myself!
Along the way, there have been many failures, some great successes, and a lot of learning.
I am passionate about sharing my journey and helping other people create the life they want to live, so they can live on their own terms. As doors close, others open… and it is this belief that propels me to provide tools, training and resources to others on their entrepreneurial journey.
REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” ~ FDR
I stumbled into real estate back in 2001 and have been through the ups and downs of the market and then some! I have taught real estate investors and agents all across the country and continue to invest with my husband to this day.
I love turning something ugly into something beautiful and creating a blank canvas for families to paint their memories.
Whether I’m fixing up a “project” or helping a seller move on to the next phase of their life, I am thankful to be able to share decades of experience and knowledge. I have my real estate license in several states and have bought and sold properties – and worked with clients – all across the country.
CREATIVE SOUL
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” ~ John Steinbeck
I believe that we are all creative souls. We all like beautiful things. We just have different ideas of what makes something beautiful to us and different abilities to bring our visions to life.
This section is about creating joy, having fun and being playful – doing what makes you happy! My joy comes from my family and friends, thus my inspiration for activiteis as well as the things I create comes from them. I hope that I can inspire you and provide you with products that you love as much as I love to create them.
