Heidi

Hi! I'm the owner of TheBusyNothings.com. I've been married to my college sweetheart Ben for 10 years and I'm passionate about my 2 little boys- one of whom has special needs. I love being real about my life and struggles and seek to understand God and chase his beauty. I enjoy cooking healthy/gluten-free, fashion from thrift stores and exercise to keep my sanity. I work from home, freelance writing and social media consulting with bloggers and small businesses. I am slowly figuring out how to balance family life and work. I love connecting with people, contact me at TheBusyNothings@gmail.com

Sarea

Hi, I'm Sarea, contributor at the TheBusyNothings.com. I home-school my three kids, dabble in photography, quilt, know how to change the oil in my car and love baseball #GoNaturals. I volunteer at the local Arts Center. I am an instructor of Life-guarding/CPR/First Aid with the local Red Cross. I like finding new music. I have a love for records and have quite a collection, but currently no way to play them. I have a fetish for office supplies, I am a great listener, love roller coasters, I am WAY behind in scrapbooking and can't wait till my oldest turns 18 so we can skydive together for the first time!

Katy

Currently living "The Rockies Life" in Fort Collins, CO but a southern girl at heart! In love and married almost 5 years. No kids yet...just a few furry friends. I am a Social Worker who spends most of her days in jails, foster and group homes, connecting with and advocating for at risk kids. I love eating healthy but indulge way too often in my favorites -wine and cheese. I love spending time outdoors hiking, biking and just adventure-ing!!

Gracie

I'm 23. I'm married to the best guy in town. I enjoy sunsets and long walks to the fridge. The gracious owner of The Busy Nothings, Heidi, has asked me to be a regular contributor on her blog, and I am so happy to be a part of such an amazing group! Bear with me as I grow into this 'writing' business. For now, you'll get a little laughter, a little wit, and a whole lot of heart from me.
