Business from Dream to Reality

*The above picture is a screen shot of the new look of LoveFeast Shop. You get a sneak peek! We were rolling our bags down the conference hallway at Blissdom and looked at each other. "I can't believe we did it!" Chris Ann said. Five years ago when we started this blog, we had three goals. One, to see each other more often. Two, to start an online boutique and three, to help fund college for our 9 kids. We use to joke that we'd have to turn our dryer lint into dreams. We had been stay at home moms who had become pretty … [Read more...]

New York City Weekend

By Chris Ann on April 24, 2013 1 Comment

A few weekends ago we went to New York City for the weekend to celebrate with our New York City friends over a beautiful private dinner with a menu created by The Sea Grill just for our party. Our table looked out to the skating rink at Rockefeller Center. While in the city, I walked around the streets feeling the energy and the awe that the city brings me. (Grand Central Station turns 100 this year!) I've been hearing good things about it for quite a while and Eataly lived up to its name! Our lunch on … [Read more...]

Piercings, Tattoos & Bonding with Your Teen

By Kristin on February 19, 2013 13 Comments

Baker Boy bribed me. He said, "Mom, if you take me to get my tregus pierced, I'll pay to have your nosed pierced." Yup, he did. Yes, he wanted something for himself, a ride to the piercing/tattoo shop and he was willing to pay to make it happen. But, as a mama of 3 teenage boys, I like to think there is an unspoken need in between those lines. He didn't ask his dad or his brother (who drives), he asked me. I know a lot of parents who are against piercings and tattoos. Many of whom I call friend. I have a very good friend … [Read more...]

NY International Gift Fair

By lovefeasttable on January 31, 2013 1 Comment

This past weekend, we were both in New York City for the NY International Gift Fair. This was our first time to the NYIGF. Last year, we went to the Atlanta Gift Show. These shows are trade shows for retailers who are in design, decor and gifts. It is basically floor, upon floor, building upon building, of products for your home. The first showroom we visited was the Global Designs showroom. Now, some vendors are protective of their products and ask that no pictures be taken, but many were more than willing to let us snap a few … [Read more...]

For a few years, we have hosted BlogLove Networking Events in Minneapolis and Baltimore. If you've never heard of or attended a BlogLove Event, we wanted to show you what they're all about.
