Hey hey y’all!
For those of you following along, you know we purchased a Glowforge Pro Laser Printer for our business. It has been a few weeks now and I could not be happier that we took the plunge.
I have been able to bring so many of my ideas to life! Though I design most of our files myself, I also love supporting other shops by purchasing SVGs to use with our laser printer.
Read MoreAs y’all know, I am a HUGE supporter of small business. This is one of the main reasons I love Etsy so much. Not only do I operate a shop on Etsy, but I love supporting other small sellers on Etsy. I know I can always find unique handcrafted decor or gifts.
Read MoreOur Glowforge FINALLY came. I have been anxiously awaiting this beautiful machine since we purchased it in January.
I have always been a creative person and this year I decided to take that creativity and put it to use. We’ve launched The Joyful Bee Co. and now that we have our new fancy shmancy machine, we can finally start making all of the wonderful products we’ve been thinking up!

We built a work table with a modern farmhouse vibe! Now, keep in mind, this was for our garage, so I wouldn’t say that its 100% perfect, but I am IN LOVE.
Read MoreI am a huge believer in ‘everything happens’ for a reason. You can ask anyone that knows me, I try to stay pretty optimistic.
As part of starting this blog, I intend on sharing a lot about my personal life and how that has made me the girl you see today.
If there is one moment in my life that I can clearly remember and see the pivotal change of what I thought my life would be and where I am today, it would be my senior year, when my mom went to prison.
Read MoreSo here I am, doing something my husband has probably been begging me to do for the last 5 years – cleaning out the garage to turn our old 1970s wood paneling garage into our workshop/office for The Joyful Bee!
Read MoreIn 2016, we purchased our first home. Our firstborn, Annabella, was about 8 months old and we knew we wanted a more permanent place to call home.
At the time, we were like many young adults- didn’t have the best credit scores, had some debt, and not much money saved.
We had a list of things we wanted, but with our situation, what we wanted wasn’t quite possible at the time.
