The Good, and The Bad...

Be sure to leave a comment if you follow us! We would love to follow you back and get to know you better!!

When we started this blog in May of this year, we wanted it to be a place where we shared our creativity. Mostly our crafts and projects, sprinkled with cute pics of our sprouts (because let's face it, who doesn't want to see their cute faces?).


We both have our own family personal blogs, so the thought of being more "personal" and "open" in our sharing for this blog never was even brought up.

What we are learning is that this blog that has GROWN so fast in a short amount of time, has become SO MUCH MORE than just a "creativity" blog. It's become a community. We are connecting and making real friendships with other woman who relate so much to us it's crazy :)

We've met some AMAZING women that have shared so much of themselves with us. We are truly inspired and humbled by their stories. That being said we've decided to take a new direction with our blog.

If you noticed we changed up our blog design! I (K) won a blog design make over from a giveaway hosted by the ever so talented and sweet Ashley from Eisy Morgan (designs)!! Seriously, you should enter GIVEAWAYS! The people hosting them would love your participation and YOU COULD win! I NEVER win anything, so when I did I was literally in shock and of course THRILLED!!
 
With Ashley's help we changed up J&M's Eye Candy... most importantly we added in the word {unedited}.
Yello!! I'm Kristine!! Wifey {to the hubs}, Momma {to our M&M girls}, and Rockstar Extraordinaire {wink wink}! Showing off some handmade Eye Candy from our Shoppe, and my make up free face to show off my H.O.T.T under-eye circles! They are always in season it seems over here!
Whaat's Up!  I am Brit, wife, mom and goofball queen.   I would like to claim that I am showing off something here, but I'm not.  Just me (makeup on) nonsense and jibberish!  (wink wink)
BTW, doesn't K look so friggin cute without makeup?  You can hate on her with me for a minute....no makeup!  She should be beaten for looking so good sans makeup!  
That's a little bit of us in a nutshell. We should mention we are sister in laws :)
We married the cheese-head wearing, Green Bay Packer loving Foley boys!
The gang at Maggie's first birthday party this past summer.
We want to share {us}.
The real, the raw, the unedited versions of {us}.

With that said...
Life IS full of happiness, sunshine, and rainbows.
We love sharing that with you! We love reading about it in all your stories.
But let's face it, life can suck at times too! Sometimes beyond our control.
 We will be sharing those times with you as well! Excited right (wink wink)?!
We aren't sharing the "bad" to be "Debbie downers," but because it's part of our journey, and we want to share more of our {complete} journey with you!

So hang on lovely readers, and enjoy the ride with us, 
The Good, and The Bad.

Happy Day to you awesome readers!!
