About Inspired Whims...and Me!

First and foremost, thanks for visiting!

This little blog was originally created on a whim as a (very needed) creative outlet for me as a new mom, who for the first time was removed from the welcomed busyness of a thriving workplace and given the opportunity to nurture a little one full time.  While being a "stay-at-home mom" has always been a blessing that I never want to take for granted, it was not an easy transition for me to make...at all.  (Maybe some of you can relate??)  Despite amazing support from my husband, family, and friends, I really struggled with the full-time parenting of a very tough baby. This blog provided me a welcome venue to escape to during nap times, and granted me a healthy outlet to cultivate my passion for home design.

Well, by the grace of God, we've come a far way - both my little one and me - and I look back on my rough patch as a new mom and see it as a time of growth and learning.  Thankfully, the blog has stuck around as a way to reach the world with my love for all things design, decor, and DIY...plus the occasional recipe, fashion find, or travel tidbit to share.

I've recently added design services and a portfolio of work I've done for dear clients over the years.  I'm a certified Interior Decorator and am so very blessed to be able to utilize my skills to help friends create budget-friendly spaces they love.  If I can ever help you or a loved one out, please drop me a line at inspiredwhims@gmail.com and we'll make the magic happen!

I hope you enjoy my little online world, and please know you always have a friend in me - whether it's for decorating advice, mommy stories, or whatever other topic we can share and make better together.

Welcome, friend!  Kick back, relax, and stay a while (or at least until the end of nap time)...
