Essential Reading
I had an awesome (awesome awesome awesome) chat with Katie of The Small Change Project last Friday. My last chat with her was in November 2013 as part of the Network of Nice on YesandYes.org (check out the most recent Network of Nice here) where Katie was offering free coffee talk sessions to the first few people who contacted her. I was super nervous before our first chat but once we got into the groove of things and I let down my guard a bit, it was incredible. Fast forward 11 months and I was nervous all over again as I set up my iPad and handy yellow legal pad for my second chat with Katie. A lot has changed in the last (almost) year and I tried to talk myself into not gushing about how my first meeting with Katie helped guide Campfire Chic and how I crossed a ton of things off of my list that we discussed (but I secretly thought was nearly impossible to do).
I’m going to be spending the rest of this year really focusing on small changes that (hopefully) have big results…ones that will help me get over some growing pains and ultimately (and most importantly) benefit Campfire Chic readers. Most of these changes are behind-the-scenes, so don’t worry about me changing things up all of a sudden (don’t expect any recipes, no fashion-blogger-inspired-pigeon-toed photos, or babies), all the changes will be for the best.
If you feel like you need to chat with somebody (who isn’t your mom!) to get unstuck with something, I suggest scheduling some time with Katie. We talked about business, confidence, Imposter Syndrome, routines, and more during my two meetings with her. She’s super easy to talk to and it’s nice to talk to somebody who isn’t expecting my usual excuses and will call me on my bullshit.
But enough about me…
This Week’s Essential Reading:
- Check out the resources (including freebies!) from Katie of The Small Change Project. May I suggest the 50 ways to get unstuck ebook?

- This sewed minialbum on Amy Tan’s blog is pretty cute and seems like a quick craft that can be done on a rainy day with your family
