The most important part is through all of this remember you are doing something wonderful just by having people get together. Opening up your home is opening up your heart.

I love it when I see family and friends starting a business, especially when it involves handmade jewelry. Lucia Pitti is the owner and creator behind “CandyStax” where she makes custom bracelets.

 Any home renovation can be overwhelming, especially if you are not a natural DIY expert. I drool over the fixer uppers I see on HGTV and envy anyone who can even paint a wall successfully.
