Basics to building a GREAT Instagram Profile
Instagram is now the second largest social media platform behind Facebook.
Have you ever looked at a profile on Instagram and just said, “WOW! This page looks amazing!”, and then followed a person or brand simply because of what you saw when you first landed on the page? Yeah, we have too.
A well done Instagram profile has a few key components that if done well, will help draw your audience in to find the information they want, as well as spend more time reviewing your content and interacting with your brand. A well done profile doesn’t happen overnight either. It can take time to cultivate all the necessary pieces.

These are a few of our Favorite Things
I love the holidays. There are some things that come out during the holidays that I can’t get any other time during the year. I love decorating the house, and my husband looks forward to eggnog and pumpkin pie. Every year, my mother-in-law makes this fudge that is just amazing. I guess you could say these are a few of our favorite things.
