2013

Hi! I’m Brittany. Many call me Brit. And this is my blog.

I’ve been at this blogging thing since late 2009 and have been through a few blog name changes before I finally decided on sticking with Simply Brittany… and I welcome you to my little place on the blogosphere!

Are you here for the party? Great! Grab a drink. I’ll stick with my glass of infused water since I’m not 21 yet, but I will be in May. Hooray!

I’m a twenty year old entrepreneur. I started my first business in 2011 and launched my 2nd in 2013. Basically, I’m a graphic designer with a crafty side. When I’m not working from home, I’m spending my time helping my single mother raise my 4 siblings (the youngest being 16 months) and creating tutus for little girls.

My blog is simply about my life. It’s very personal to me… so personal that I designed it myself.

I post about my life, my faith and my passions.

I’m a HUGE dreamer. I believe dreams come true and am living proof of it. I believe no dream is too big or too small and that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Enjoying your drink? I hope so!

I hope you also enjoyed “meeting” me and I can’t wait to “meet” you!!!

Let’s PARTY!!!

Simple & Budget-Friendly Rubber Ducky Baby Shower

My cousin recently welcomed a baby into the world, a month early! So we were in a rush to set up and get the baby shower done. We wanted something simple, cute, and budget friendly… so we went with a rubber ducky baby shower.

I designed the invitations and we shared them virtually to save money. They also took the place of birth announcements.

We got pretty much everything at either Walmart or Dollar Tree, with the exception of the rubber ducks which we ordered from Oriental Trading.

For the centerpieces, we bought small glass bowls and filled them with water that we dyed blue & a rubber ducky. We also spread out blue baby boy mints for a final touch.

For the gift table, we decorated it with a couple of balloons from the Dollar Tree and a lovely banner from A to Zebra Celebrations that we gave to my cousin to hang in the baby’s room. It was perfect!

For drinks, we did lemonade to match the yellow and we served pizza & salad. Easy!

It was a great party, lots of fun, and it didn’t put a huge dent in our wallets.

Linking up with Nancy for Link Party Tuesday!

don't let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big

Growing up, things weren’t always easy for me and I always felt like I had to prove myself. To my family, my friends, my teachers, my bosses… everyone. It was hard. Sometimes, I hated it. I did 13 years of cheerleading because my mom wanted her cheerleader. I worked my butt off to get all [...]

I Once Had A Dream

I once had a dream of becoming a teacher, just like my mom & aunt. I wanted to change lives through education & learning. And then, I gave up the whole teacher dream for a new one. A dream to become a graphic designer & web developer. I first started designing when I wanted my [...]

It’s Okay Not To Be Okay

I felt at the top of the world on December 1st. I felt like I had everything in control. My feelings and emotions, my “money problems,” my relationship with God. Five days later, I feel like everything is crazy all over again! I’m back to feeling like everything that could go wrong has. I feel [...]

My Life is Organized Chaos

When I started my own business, I knew I was taking a bite of something HUGE that I might have a hard time chewing, but when I actually did it… it wasn’t as bad as I thought. And then I started working for my clients. I started working for my favorite skin care brand. I [...]

The Holidays Just Aren’t the Same

When I was younger, the holidays were the best time of the year for me! I didn’t have to get my hopes up for an amazing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years because I knew that I was gonna get one. But, since I’ve grown older… since my grandma passed away… since my dad left… and [...]

Done with the Negativity

November 18, 2012 3 Comments

First off… who “comes back” to blogging on a Sunday? Like, seriously. Any who, I’m kind of glad I still have this platform (my own little piece of the internet) to just, you know… rant. Yeah, yeah… I’ve been around. I’ve been writing over at Bellaboo Gloss. I’ve been on Twitter. And Instagram. But to [...]

Lucky Girl

These past few weeks have been absolutely insane… in a GOOD way! So much has happened that I still can’t wrap my head around it, one bit! It’s all just so crazy and I really feel like such a lucky girl. For starters, I have had so many doors open for me business wise. I’m super [...]
