Hi! I am Amanda Crider. I’m a 29-year-old DIYer who recently quit my corporate job to pursue my dream of owning my own home decor shop. I live in Ada, Michigan, an east suburb of Grand Rapids with my college sweetheart husband, a 1-year-old son and my 7-year-old pup. After spending almost a decade working in Human Resources I decided it's time to pursue my true passion, all things home decor and design. We lived in California for the past five years and just moved back to Michigan and boy does it feel great to be back!! I just opened a retail booth filled with vintage finds & home decor at Changing Thymes in Grandville, MI.  In this blog I will share my journey of DIY projects, love for decor, mom life, & so much more. Thanks for coming here to join me! Hi! I am Amanda Crider. I’m a 29-year-old DIYer who recently quit my corporate job to pursue my dream of owning my own home decor shop.
