Hi! I’m Katie – mom of 3boys, freelance graphic designer, blogger, avid thrifter, and flea market vendor. My blog, SomethingtobeFound.com is where I share my thrifty finds, DIY crafts, and home decorating projects.
I’m excited to be a partner blogger for NortheastOhioParent.com and to write about my parenting experiences with three boys: a newborn, a pre-schooler, and a kindergartener. I’ll also share DIY projects and thrifting tips/tricks for kids.
And, if you’d like to get to know me a little better, here are six random bits of info:
- I am 33. I’ve been married to my husband Dan for nine years and we live on Cleveland’s east side. I went to Solon High School and The Ohio State University and he went to Walsh Jesuit and St. Louis University.
- I always remember a face! I am constantly pointing to people and saying “I know them from somewhere…” I’ve been known to ask a complete stranger 20 questions until I figure out where I know them from. I did it one time to a girl at the grocery store. Despite the questioning I couldn’t figure out how I knew her (she was being so humble), until I got home and realized she was a local celebrity. LOL!! I also have a talent for determining people’s doppelgangers. I even started a feature on my blog called Twinsie Tuesdays.
- I do not like to cook. And when I do cook, I prefer it to be something in the crock pot with less than 5 ingredients. Thankfully my husband and kids do not have sophisticated pallets and are fine with the basics!
- My favorite thing to do is shop at garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores. A majority of our house is decorated with secondhand finds, and nearly all of my kids clothes are thrifted or hand-me-downs.
- I love desserts. I rarely pass up the opportunity to order from the dessert menu at a restaurant, even after I’ve just gotten done complaining about how full I am from the meal.
- My boys LOVE sports! We wanted to get them a basketball hoop in time for summer but figured we should make them work for it a bit. Back in March we made a chore chart and asked my oldest how many check marks he thought would be deserving of the hoop. We expected him to say maybe twenty. NOPE! Sixty-two!!! So, five months later we finally have a basketball hoop!
