Tell us more about you and your blog

My blog Some Pop Of Color in 2014 shortly after having my first son. I felt like, while motherhood is a beautiful thing, I was losing myself in it a little and needed a venue to express myself creatively. I always loved color and am constantly inspired by it and so my blog was born and the rest is history.
