Meet April from Uncookie Cutter!

Hi all!  I’m April, a recent Oklahoman by way of Virginia.  My husband and I moved here in January with our 2 kids and 3 dogs in tow and we are trying to embrace and redo this crazy old house we bought.  I blog about our adventures here, mostly DIY decor and furniture building.  I’d love for you to join us on our journey!

 

Meet Lexi from Lexi Michelle Blog!

Hello!  I’m Alexis, part-time blogger & full-time mommy to the greatest little boy ever.  As a mother we tend to wear a lot of different hats.  I am the house keeper, the family chef, the nurse, and the nanny all rolled into one.  On top of that I also love anything DIY, fitness, & party related.  Lexi Michelle Blog is where all those passions intersect.
