About Me
—
Once upon a time, a 19-year-old joined the military, thinking it would be the toughest challenge of her life…
Then motherhood entered the chat.
Hi, I’m Monica! Mom to two amazing little humans—my Ladybug and my (bumble) Bee, which is how this whole thing got its name. If you count our dog (the best boy in the world) and five chickens I never wanted but now love, that’s eight babies total. My husband and I are both Navy veterans, and after we left the service, we embarked on our biggest mission yet—parenthood.
Like many moms, I faced postpartum anxiety (PPA) with my first and a not-so-fun mix of postpartum depression (PPD) and PPA with my second. To cope, I turned to crafting—because spending $97 on supplies to DIY a $12 bow just made perfect sense…am I right?!
In 2016, I started out making bows, bonnets, and bibs, but as my little one outgrew them, I needed a new creative outlet. Enter my husband, the ultimate enabler, who responds to every Hobby Lobby visit with, “You can make that—and better.” Well, challenge accepted.
So here I am, crafting my way through life—creating beautiful, meaningful pieces that bring joy to others while also helping my family. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for being here. Your support truly means the world to us!
