Hi There,
I am so happy you came by! First let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I’m Kate, and SO happy you stopped by my blog.  I live in the beautiful beach town Wilmington, NC, I am married to a seriously HANDY hubby, recently bought a new home, and a new mama to Averly Grace, the sweetest little peanut around.  By day I am also a Special Education teacher, and part time event and wedding planner! With all the craziness in my life i decided to document and share my journey of teaching, being a mama, maintaining a trendy, stylish home, planning every type of party and event, all on a very thrifty budget! 
Things I love to write/be an expert/ complain about
babies. 

kids.

DIY(but let’s face it, sometimes it’s easier and cheaper to buy it, i’ll help with that!)

fashion.

party planning.

home decor.

Mommying is hard af, and affording to keep up with these crazy times we live in is nearly impossible! My goal is to give you the tips and tools to do so. Grab yourself a big glass of wine (or two!)  or a la croix, whatever you prefer and Enjoy!
