{about us}

Welcome to The Ivy Twines!


This started as a dream.


To "be the change..." {Gandhi}


To do more.  To be more.


This is the journey.


What started as a sisterly chat about wanting to make more of a difference in a world of hurts became this lovely slice of the blog world.  We dreamed of giving back and spreading joy, and gaining inspiration and insight from others around the world, too.


  We're so thankful for you today, and everyday.




We want to inspire you.  That you too can make a difference in the world, in your community, and within your families and friends.  You can make the change within you, too.


What you'll find here is not your average, run of the mill blog. {at least we hope not!!}  Along with monthly inspirations and opportunities to give back, you'll find just what you're looking for in unique, handmade, and quality products!


It's so good to see you here!  Sit and stay a spell. Discover some of the most fabulous finds the internet has to offer, and perhaps find a passion for something new that touches your heart and inspires you to give a little back!




oh happy day!







I am the wife of a modern day cowboy, living in the wild west of beautiful Big Sky Country. Our life is made much sweeter by our two beautiful little girls.  My neighbors are mooing mama cows and precious baby calves, horses that mow my lawn whenever they break through our gate, and sheep that beg for treats every time we go for walks.  Our house is filled with goofy dancing and singing, kitty meows, and lots of art projects. I enjoy fresh air, working out, playing with the girls, and just appreciating and counting the many joys in my everyday life.  I am blessed!!






{these two lovely ladies are currently on vacation!  Life happens!! :)}
I am a fun loving, first time mom who loves to learn. I'm also the fiance' to a hard working man who enables his family of 3 + the dog, to travel the country with him. Everyday is a new adventure and everyday a blessing as we continue on our journey raising our beautiful baby girl. My big goofy dog keeps me happy, baby kisses keep me grateful, my mom keeps me sane and sushi is my staple.




I'm a wife, a mother (just look at that pretty girl!), and a speech therapist. I love art, music, estate auctions, and summers by the lake. I've been known to start new hobbies, none that I'm very good at, and I admire the work of crafty, creative people! I'm so lucky to have amazing parents and three wonderful little sisters. . . my dream is that we would all live on the same block (come on Bethany and Laura, move already!) I love our "Give Back" feature on The Ivy Twines and hope that we can inspire just a few people pass it on!
