  HI, I'm Julie. A designer by profession, creative and crafty by nature and a wife and mom by a gift from god. My husband and I love an adventure and a challenge. We have traveled and tasted and now are on our biggest adventure yet, parenting. Thanks for stopping by to share in our fun, struggles and lessons learned while raising identical twin girls.
