Well, introductions can be a bit uncomfortable and awkward, so let’s just go right ahead and get that weird “'do we shake hands’ or ‘do we hug hello?’” moment out of the way. By the way, I am a hug...

Today we're so happy to be able to share a guest post from local mom Kristy Green! If you haven't seen her amazing DIY videos yet you're missing out.
