may is military appreciation month –
so i’m linking up with Riding the Roller Coaster & Household 6 Diva
for a fantastic mil spouse bloghop :]

♥ ♥ ♥

most of you know me, but if you don’t, let me introduce myself….

hi! i’m april :]

i’m the wifey to a very handsome & successful US Marine. i’m also momma to one extremely rambunctious & utterly adorable two year old daughter.  i started blogging about three years ago when we found out we were pregnant with our daughter, amelia.  what originally started as a means to keep family involved quickly became an outlet for making friends, venting motherhood frustrations & celebrating birthdays ♥

about a year ago, my hubby taught me how to sew {!!!}.  after privately selling a few smashed ruffle camera strap covers to personal friends, i opened up an etsy shop.  since then, the shop has grown & shaped itself into what it is now — a fabulous one-stop gift shop full of ruffled pouches, toddler-sized backpacks, knotted necklaces & my best-selling military make-up bags {available in all US branches!!}.  having this shop is a HUGE blessing for me as a creative outlet & our family as a secondary income while i stay home with amelia.

in honor of military appreciation month, i’m offering a pretty sweet discount on all orders!!

a fun fact —>  we are moving to okinawa, japan NEXT WEEK!!! the time is finally here, & if you’ve been reading my blog for any period of time, you know how excited we are to get over there.  you can read more posts leading up to our move or follow along because there will be tons of pretty japanese pictures & adventures to come!!
