We started Lives of the Poor and Crafty to combine our passions for crafting and our drive for our small businesses together to help show others that ordinary people, who have a 9 to 5 job, those who stay home, those who are stay at home mothers or fathers, who home school their children can make a successful business, and can still have a life with it all. We have been in many crafting spaces and the questions always seem to be the same, how do you do it all?, how do you manage time?, how do you run a business with kids, how do you do it when you work 9 to 5, how do you make time for yourself?, in the mix of making a successful business. We want to help other small business, stay at home parents, and those 9 to 5ers. We plan to help you navigate the daily struggles all while these five best friends share our love of craft, same as you.
