ALL ABOUT THE AUTHOR, MARCI SCHNEIDER
Meet Marci Schneider
Welcome friends! I am Marci Schneider, author and voice behind this lifestyle blog, formerly known as “Lemons to Lovelys”. I hope you enjoy my blog about all things home décor, DIY, holiday decorating, flower arranging, recipes, and making your home a cozy sanctuary on a budget! Additionally, I sometimes share recipes, key word being “sometimes”.
I am a wife and mother of 2 little ones whom I love dearly. My husband and I met while attending college at LSU where I graduated with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Fashion Merchandising. College was an amazing 4 years and I will forever bleed purple and gold. we still cherish our Saturday nights in Death Valley! Geaux Tigers!
After graduation from LSU, I served a 2 year commitment with Teach For America in the inner city of Baton Rouge where I become certified in Early Childhood Education . I thoroughly enjoyed teaching and decided to continue on this journey as we moved an hour down the road. After teaching for 4 more years in our current town, I suffered some major health problems during my first pregnancy which resulted in medical leave followed by early retirement from teaching. It was during this isolating time at home, I decided to take control of my health and started dreaming of plans for the future!
How I Got Started Blogging…
Being a mother and a housewife is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my life! However, I found myself a little lonely at home and in search of more. So, in 2014, I started my blog under the name “Lemons to Lovelys”. In the beginning, blogging was purely a hobby where I enjoyed sharing my endless DIY’s that filled my free time at home. Decorating, painting, interior styling, creating flower arrangements, and turning the ordinary into something lovely are what set my heart on fire!
Looking back on my childhood, as a little girl I can remember rearranging my room several times a year, dragging heavy furniture around and cutting pictures of bedding out of catalogues to add to my Christmas list. I was that child who asked for a doll house for Christmas, not for the dolls, but for the furniture that went inside it! In other words, I was and still am, an “old soul”. Years later, here I am still doing what I truly believe is my calling and what God put me on this Earth to do!
My Plan For This Lifestyle Blog…
Fast forward, after 5 years of blogging for pure hobby, I’ve decided to turn this website into a business and create a lifestyle blog, housing a collection of easy home DIY’s, room makeovers, design boards, holiday decorating tips, and products that I love!
I have carefully designed our home to be what I think is a cozy, inviting environment! Above all, I want kids to run freely and friends to feel welcome and loved when they come over!
