![]() A tiny 1400 square foot, 3 bedroom fixer-upper in a good, quiet neighborhood. Three children, two apartments, and one rental house later, my little family finally bought our first house. A place to try out everything I had ever learned and every idea I had ever had. What's up with the new name? I was hoping someone would ask! Years ago, as a newlywed with a design degree burning a hole in my pocket, I dreamed of one day owning a home that I could turn into a real showstopper. I've shared some things we've done around our house here on the blog and I've done some design work for local friends, but I've always wanted more. I earned a degree in interior design from Brigham Young University twenty-some years ago and have always longed for an opportunity to use that skill set in a more meaningful way. The day-in, day-out tasks of young motherhood, which were all-consuming ten years ago, are no longer my reality as I look at becoming an "empty-nester" with my husband in the next few years. And as I think about my personal future, I have a new vision of what I want to do and be. The loving moniker "monster" no longer fits them. They have grown into amazing, talented young adults who are preparing to leave the roost, so to speak. ![]() My three little kids - the "monsters" who inspired this blog's name - are not so little any more. I am beyond grateful for the opportunities I have had over the past ten years and the amazing people who have supported my growth.Ī lot changes over the course of a decade. With a little hard work and a lot of good old fashioned luck, my online journal about my kids and my hobbies has grown into a small business. I started writing My 3 Monsters back in 2008 - a DECADE ago! - as a way to journal and keep in touch with my family. I'm kicking off 2018 with a big new blogging adventure.
