My son Froggy – he is our mascot! He is always up to mischief!

Hi, I’m January (my Right-Brain alter ego)! Me – I love to learn and improve myself!  I have multiple advanced degrees & certifications (Left-Brain day job CPA/Financial Advisor side of me). Becoming a Mom opened up a whole new world of learning opportunities! 

I became a DIY aficionado, Cake Maker, Party-Planner, Interior Decorator, Disney Magic Maker, Fort Builder, Healthy-Food Meal Prepper…Basically I became Cinderella! Yes, the birds and squirrels all talk to me now too!

It is not easy running a business, a household, a child, and your entire life! I’m here to share how I do it and hope I can be of some inspiration!

Creating and Designing Magical Moments & Spaces! Improving myself, my home, my relationships, my business, all one day at a time!
