In case you’re wondering, I pronounce that bee- ate- ah, but if you see me in person, I will respond to anything that sounds close!
I am the creator and maker behind Among the Glitter, a blog about living a creative life. Here you will find art projects and crafts for all ages, DIY ideas, our home renovation and decor, and everyday musings about faith, motherhood, and pursuing creativity through the hustle and bustle of life.
What does it mean to live creatively?
It means letting go of fear and trying new things; letting go of perfection and embracing the process; letting yourself explore and get messy; digging in and finding the joy in the work of your hands.
A little bit about me..
I was an art teacher for five years before staying home with my kiddos. This blog is a creative outlet for my art teacher heart. I’ve taught preschool all the way to high school, so you’ll find a little bit of everything here!
I’ve lived in Illinois, Arizona, California, and now Indiana. We recently moved across the country from Phoenix to Indianapolis, and traded cacti for corn fields.
A year after moving to Indiana, we left the city, moved to a small country town, and are renovating our fixer upper surrounded by trees.
I have four kiddos and adoption is part of our story.
I am thankful for my amazing husband, who is a man after God’s own heart and our family’s rock.
We share the house with two dogs and a cat, and we are newcomers to the backyard chickens scene.
I’ve been testing my green thumb and wish I was better at gardening. I am not giving up though!
I dream of having an art studio in a backyard barn surrounded by flowers and chickens.
Everyday I am learning to be brave, take small steps of faith, and let God direct my dreams.
Now that you know a bit about me, look around, pick a project, and create with me! Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me in my corner of the internet! I hope you will find encouragement, ideas, and inspiration to create and get just a bit messy!
