Hello Mama + Mini readers! My name is Joleen. I am the wife and first time mama to my two Benjamin’s. I’m a Southern California transplant, living and loving it in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m the professional photographer behind Joleen Pete Photography and the mama/blogger behind the Lifestyle/Baby blog, Love, Joleen. I am so excited to be here today -- thanks for having me, Emily!
This month our son turns ONE! Because his birthday falls just one day before Thanksgiving [this year], we're throwing his party a few weeks early.. in just three days to be precise! Both my husband and myself love to read and we love books. In my previous life, I was a nanny for 8 years, and have always loved children's books too! We decided that Benjamin's party theme would be "Vintage Storybook" to help build his own library.

We've been reading to him since birth, but he is just entering an age where he enjoys reading his books (just as much as he enjoys eating them) and will bring them to us to read to him. These are our favorites:

I am a mom to 11 month old twins, Charlie and Sloane. I work full time in marketing and spend every other available second with my little peanuts. Once they sleep, I craft. It keeps the right side of my brain happy and sharp. Bub + Bug Studio is named after Charlie (Bub) and Sloane (Bug). I started making accessories for sloane during maternity leave, and other moms on instagram started messaging and emailing me asking if they could purchase my creations. I hope to start making accessories for Charlie soon as well!

I have been married to my ultra supportive and handsome husband for & years, we met at work, he is an ER physician and toxicologist. We have two beautiful children Quinn 2.5 years and Harper 14 months. I started tiny souls earlier this year as a creative outlet for myself. I enjoy sewing reading and good book (but who has time to read with two small kids). My guilty pleasure is Real housewives of Orange County, I could eat Chipotle for every meal and I am still searching for the perfect pair of jeans. Thats me in a nutshell!

I'm Krista, wife to Jake & mom to our two little ladies Campbell (3) & Holland (1), with a baby boy due in March. I own Darling & Mint.  We design & print custom paper goods, along with designing websites, logos & so much more! Darling & Mint came about when I merged my former businesses Mint Creative & Darling Bows into one.  In addition to custom graphic design & printing I make Eco-friendly ultra cozy headbands & recently launched the paper boutique side of Darling & Mint where we sell the most fun paper items including paper bags, paper straws, tags, garlands & pretty much anything pretty paper that you can imagine. I absolutely love what I do!  Designing Holiday Cards & Wedding Invitations are my absolute favorite, I could nonstop design if it were allowed. In addition to my already crazy busy schedule, I recently launched my own natural mineral makeup brand, Root (@rootpretty on IG).

Being Eco-friendly & Made in the USA is super important to both of my businesses.  I am proud to say that all of my items are Made/Printed in the USA & shipped with Eco-friendly mailing supplies.

With a deep appreciation for D.I.Y.'s, fabric, felt, and creativity, almost a year ago I started up A Blue Swallow Shop with a mixture of things that I love. After the birth of our son, Kai (14 months), I knew that I didn't want to just push him to live his dreams; I wanted to show him that it could be done by being an example. It's crazy how children really change your life. A Blue Swallow is a place where you can find special handmade items that bring people together and impart a piece of love to those you share it with. Whether it's a mug or a hat for your little one, each item is specially made as if I were personally giving it to you. When I'm not running the shop I'm chasing our son, partnering with my husband who is a youth pastor, and making new memories with family and friends. Each item is influenced by someone dear to me and has a story of its own.
