How It’s Done is a continuation of the series by the same name that I began on the Chalkydoodles blog long ago!  Read along as I share about Dallas-area women who own small businesses or juggle careers working from home as they care for their families and children.

Will You Be My Advocate? is my newest blog series, and very close to my heart.  Read about how moms from my neighborhood are coming together to gain support, encouragement and knowledge as they work towards becoming better advocates for their kids with learning differences and special needs.  Plus, read about highlights from training, seminars and other events held in the Dallas area to educate and encourage parents of children with differences.

Looking for more about learning disabilities and special needs?  Follow my new blog, Different Doodles, where I share about my experiences of a mother of two kids who learn and play differently.  And check out www.DifferentDoodles.com for a full list of resources for parents working toward becoming better advocates for their kids. The site is still under constrution (but the blog is working fine!), but we are adding  information daily as well as links to local and national parent education, seminars, books to read, laws to know and much more!

Last fall, we overnighted a set of our Jute Chalky Spot™ Chalkboard Labels a Wet-Wipe Chalk Pen and yards of our favorite taupe and brown gingham ribbon to Amy’s staff in New York City, not knowing exactly how they would appear in her styling – but very excited to find out! 

Amy took our mini chalkboard labels and trimmed them with pinking sheers to create her own custom version of our chalky tags that worked perfectly for her S’mores Bar photo shoot for The Knot magazine.  You can try this same technique at home with some chalkboard vinyl and burlap fabric – or purchase our version here at Chalkydoodles.com. 

And in the spirit of celebration, we have to give a shout-out to our favorite chalky collaborator, Diane Sudhoff at South House Designs for her incredible work on creating the labels for the Chalkydoodles shop.  You’re the best, Diane!
