I started this blog in 2009 when my husband and I bought our first home together. I wanted to share our story as we made this house our home. It mainly started out as a way to show my mom {hi, mom!} what we have been up to in our house, and in our lives. However, I have realized how much others love to learn {myself included}, so I now reach out to as many people as I can!
Why did I name the blog "West Street Story?" Well, because our house is on West Street! I do not know what I will do when we move.
Currently, I work from home creating wedding invitations for couples all over the world and the hubby works outside of the home full-time. With that being said, we have to be very mindful with our expenses. Although I want a beautiful home {insert swoon for all of the Better Homes and Garden pictures here}, we do not have an unlimited budget to do so. However, with a little ingenuity and creativity, I am finding ways to make this house a home we LOVE and want to share my experiences with you, my reader.
Also, I love a good bargain {yes, I am a couponer} and feel that it would be a shame not to share it with the world.
We have been trying to grow our family here on West Street. You can read about our infertility journey and also our adoption story!
In that same token, knowing there may be little ones running around very soon, I decided to look into ways to cut chemicals out of our home and bodies. I have fallen in love with Shaklee products and will be sharing their amazing qualities and tips/tricks when using them.
Lastly, I recently started dabbling a bit in photography {mainly to create beautiful pictures for this blog and for my wedding invitations} and am also learning to love the experimentation involved with cooking. I am also working on changing my "black" thumb to a "green" thumb in my gardens. This blog will be my sharing outlet!
Disclosure Policy
I did not start this blog as a way to make money, but I have been blessed {in very small amounts, mind you}. If nothing else, it allows me the ability to continue creating and sharing with you!
Why am I telling you this?
Well, because I have to. Here is the FTC ruling:
But also because I want to be honest and
trustworthy.
I will not promote a product that I do not like myself, just for some extra
cash.
I choose which products/services to promote and which companies/small
businesses to work with based on what I think my readers would enjoy.
