Happy weekend! The past few weeks have been incredibly full. Last week, I attended the Entrepreneur of the Year Gala in Seattle. I had the honor of being nominated alongside many incredible entrepreneurs in the Northwest. While I did not win the award, it was an honor to be nominated. I know that’s a little cliche, but it truly was amazing to be recognized. Below, Chris and I enjoy the night. It was wonderful to have him by my side and enjoy a date night!
Today, I’m enjoying the sun with the kiddos. The weather has been hit or miss lately, but today is turning out to be a lovely. If you’re looking for a little crafting inspiration, below are some of my favorite pins, tweets and ‘grams from the past week.
