☀️ A little bit about me…

✨I live in a small, rural CT town on our lil family farm with my husband and toddler, plus 🐓🐰.

✨ I live resourcefully, diy, homemade, homegrown as much as we can!

✨Sharing content on this account so I can put myself out there to find more clients… trying to show my face more!

✨ I love bringing people together for a shared cause… bonfires, women’s circles, live music, clothing swaps, family gatherings, special events & weddings.

✨ Speaking of weddings, I take on a small amount of weddings each year as a day of helper! It’s always through family and friends, and has to fit my vibe of casual/diy.

✨ I love local! And worked at the best little shop before I became a SAHM and still help out there sometimes. Check it out 👀

✨ Last year, I finally started writing my book of poetry from my journal writing of 15 years! Just this week, my daughter dumped out my journal’s quote clippings while drawing in it, so I’m taking it as a sign to get to work again…

✨Connecting with people and learning about their lives and how we can help each other is so inspiring to me.

✨This picture is me at a recent show… Musical medicine! Follow our fan page ➡️ .are.kindfolk

🌟ABOUT ME 🌟
Amanda Jean Gibson,
Creator of Helpful Happenings

I love helping small businesses authentically share their special offerings with the world! Starting my own small business Helping Happenings began naturally. Connecting WITH people and FOR people is just simply my thing.

💫It began with designing invites & materials for special events with my family and friends.
💫It began with conspiring with my friends about their dream small businesses.
💫It began with making lots of connections with local farmers and businesses in our area.
💫It began with following my muses of music and art and writing.

I love gardening, caring for our animals, walking, journaling, reading, writing poetry, crafting, furniture flipping and SO MUCH MORE. (I have so many interests and hobbies)
I live on our small family farm in Andover, CT with my awesome husband and beautiful daughter.

A sampling of my offerings for clients...
•Brainstorming a business name and concept.
•Starting an IG and FB account for new businesses.
•Designing images for social media or website.
•Sending email newsletters.
•Launching your offerings onto a new platform.
•Designing baby shower, wedding, bridal shower, party invites, and other event materials.
•Creating custom seed packets.
•Sharing vendor lists for events or projects.
•Promoting events and gatherings for small businesses.
•Other random tasks that you may need help with that I am open to!
