Something new is coming!

While we love our original logo, we feel as though it’s just a tiny snapshot of who we are. There’s more to our story.

It doesn’t start with a stunning field of flowers…it starts with dirt & grit.

Our new brand identity is our way of celebrating that duality! You know, pretty & gritty. 😉

I cannot wait to share it with you!

Howdy, hi, hello! ✌🏼

We have some new faces around here so I thought I’d share mine.

A couple things about me:
-Just realizing that introduction posts are super cool to read, not as cool to create for yourself.
-Aries, in multiple places on my birth chart & an enneagram 8. (Thank you to for helping understand both of those things!)
-I prefer jeans over anything, always.
-I love cheese. Love it. Mostly melted.
-My coffee addiction is new, but I’m making up for lost time.
-Boy mom. Three of em. Gave them what I consider cowboy names because I have this dream of three lookalikes all tan with wranglers & cowboy boots on riding horses in our pasture. (Or if you are lucky enough to know our youngest, probably mutton bustin’)
-oldest & only child. I’ve got a cool family tree.
-been a bartender for going on foooorever. I refuse to share the actual number of years because it’s hard to say out loud. 😳
and lastly, never ever would have imagined me where I am and what I’m doing today.

Do we share anything in common? Have any questions!? Lemme know! 🥰
