I never envisioned myself as a small business owner. I grew up thinking I would go into education or counseling, and ultimately graduated with a degree in sociology and psychology. However, a few years later, in 2014, my daughter was born and I dove head-first into Mommyhood. I found that all I really wanted to do, was to soak up every moment of her youth. So, I walked into work one day and gave my notice. And, just like that, a new chapter began.
The Thrifty Gifter has had so many faces. From e-commerce to owning a storefront to hosting small business markets, over the years t.t.g has blossomed into more than we ever dreamed, and I have cherished every chapter!
In 2019, my husband, Steve, and I decided to begin a new adventure as a blended family. Together, we have a home just outside of the gorgeous foothills of Western North Carolina where we raise our three daughters. Our hands and hearts are full! I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to spend my days with the girls while crafting, creating, and growing my little business.
I still haven't "grown up" -- maybe I never will. Hopefully, I will "grow" all of my days; change with seasons, and always reach a little higher. Our hands are full, but so are our hearts!
