About Olive's Mama

Olive's Mama
Hi there! My name is Natalie and I am a mama to a beautiful 1 1/2 year old little girl, Olive. I am married to my husband Jonathan and we live in sunny California. After my daughter turned one, I left my job as a teacher to stay home full-time. I have really gotten into crafting and art projects as a way to keep us busy as well as enrich my daughter. I have always loved creating art and crafting and I'm hoping this blog will give me motivation to do more of that! I love to be creative in many areas of my life and I hope you do, too! If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! :)
