About Me

    Hello! Welcome to my blog! Let's start with the name of the blog which is also the name of my photography business. Small Boat. Awhile back I heard the song, "Fight Song", by Rachel Platten. The lyrics of the song caught my attention right away. The first verse says:

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

     So... Small Boat was born. I debated back and forth. I like the lyrics of the song, but the song itself isn't my most fav. (Sorry, Rachel.) But the lyrics kept speaking to me every time I heard the song on Pandora. This was how I felt! I didn't go to school for photography, interior design, small business, art, graphic design or web design. It's just me and any talent I have I can say is truly a gift from God. (I used make cards when I was 10 and sell them to my neighbors for $0.25! So I have loved crafts and had a spirit of enterpreneurship since I was quite young! Haha :) So here I go, in a small boat, seeing where this will lead me.

    I have lots of ideas to share with you. I love scrapbooking, photography, DIY projects, organizing, being a stay at home mom, and experiencing life. I have always found so much inspiration from others through Pinterest and blogs, and lately Instagram. I appreciate when others share their wisdom, experience, ideas, and finds! So hopefully I will be able to do the same for others!

    Let's do 10 things you maybe wouldn't know about me online...

1. I heart coffee ;) and coffee shops.

2. I love a good worship song!

3. I'm not a morning person, but I like the quiet in the morning before the kids are up yet!

4. We go to the movies about once a week, we buy candy to sneak in. But we do buy our popcorn there ;)

5. I've only ever lived in Montana

6. I believe the saying, I have salt water in my veins and sand in my heart.

7. I love to travel, anywhere really. 

8. Table manners matter! :)

9. Our oldest son is starting his senior year this fall and I am a wreck!

10. I have yet to decorate our master bedroom... (there are a few things here and there, but it's not anything like the rest of the house!) I just can't commit. Although it is something I hope to start and finish this summer.

    That's a little about me, here's to happy crafting and a happy life!
