Hello Steemit!
I’m super excited to be a part of the community here. So much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about my introductory post today.
My name is Rebecca, but friends call me Becky. I’m a 30 something born and raised in Alabama and now living in Texas. I’m recently (July 2017) married to my best friend of 9 years, Matt.
Our friendship and marriage is something that I’m extremely proud of and cherish. And, our story is unlike any other. We were married in a little Hispanic church in Nacogdoches, Texas. The pastor was not very fluent in English, so we had a translator at our ceremony. I bet there aren't many people can say that! I could not have been happier as we said our vows (we wrote our own of course) in that little church in Nacogdoches, Texas.
I also gained 3 wonderful step-sons, Evan, Bradley, and Wyatt. As you can imagine, not having any children prior to being married made for a bit of an adjustment. However, I couldn’t imagine life without them now.
After wife and step-mother comes the title small business owner. In 2015 I started a screen printing business with a focus on eco-friendly.
At first I chose to attempt to create a clothing line to sell retail; however, I quickly realized that would mean storing a lot of inventory and possibly being stuck with unsold merchandise. That is when I made the decision to be a resource for others within the eco-friendly space. We now primarily work with eco-friendly clothing brands as well as printing for local businesses.
I also have a degree in Accounting, but mainly just use it for my business. Although I do have some freelance work that I do which uses those skills.
Other work that do includes social media management. Although I don’t consider myself a pro when I comes to social media, I do know how to leverage engagement. One of my favorite accounts that I manage is Truck Market News Magazine, a full color monthly publication distributed thoughout the US.
When I have time I love creating healthy recipes (mostly vegan & vegetarian). Over the years, I put together several digital cookbooks and offer those for sale online as well. As you can tell I’m 100% entrepreneur.
I also enjoy photography, especially nature photography, but I don’t have a lot of time for it anymore.
I hope that you enjoyed learning a little about me. I look forward to being a part of the community here on Steemit. I’m sure I’ll be writing about a mix of the topics above, so be sure to follow me.
