Valerie is a creative blogger, wife and mother, an avid reader, a sometimes crafter, and a lover of all things music. After graduating from BYU with a degree in music education, she moved to Phoenix to teach high school band. She left her teaching career to raise her three kids (currently 10, 8, and 5) and became a blogger in hopes of sharing her love of simple, beautiful projects with other busy women at Occasionally Crafty. Her favorite thing to make is anything for seasonal/holiday. She is happiest when at home with her family, snuggled up with a good book. Valerie has been sharing her great ideas on Ideas for the Home by Kenarry® since June 2015. Follow Valerie on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.
