More about Aimee in her own words:
I’m married to my best friend and together we have three sweeties…Baby B (baby brother) is 5, Big B (big brother) is 7, and Little B (sister) is 10. I started my blog, It’s Overflowing in 2004 as a journal about and for my family. In October 2011, having moved into a new…old home, I decided it was time to make It’s Overflowing a public domain and join the great company of others who share a similar passion for DIY Projects and Home Decor.
Melissa Kaiserman – Budgeting
Melissa, who will be our budgeting contributor, is the owner of A Time for Everything. Melissa runs an Etsy shop where she sells cash envelope system wallets & accessories, and a blog where she writes about sewing, budgeting, creating, and life in general. She’s been blogging since April 2007 and selling on Etsy since October 2011.
More about Melissa in her own words…
I’ve been married for 15 years to my favorite person in the world, a man who ages incredibly well, gets me laughing with his crazy sense of humor, whips up a mean batch of restaurant-style salsa, and makes fly fishing look like an art form. We have produced four children whom we enjoy so much that we’re in our seventh year of homeschooling. I used to be afraid of the hand-me-down sewing machine that’s nearly my age, but now it’s my favorite appliance. It’s followed by my KitchenAid mixer because I love to bake, as evidenced by my Pinterest recipe board. I also enjoy organizing, reading, shopping at thrift stores and vintage markets, and the way that running makes me feel. (Notice I didn’t say running itself.) My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings triology, Little Dorritt, and Pride & Prejudice (Colin Firth, please. Nothing against Matthew Macfadyen, of course, but it wouldn’t be fair for him to hog both movies.) In my spare time, I sew like crazy for my handmade business and blog at A Time for Everything.
