I attempted to start a blog around 2013. After starting my first job after college in Arkansas I was looking for a creative outlet. I called it The Merry Moore as a nod to my Mimi, Mary, and my (now) maiden name. It just kind of sat into existence until 4 years later I decided to use the name to start my online boutique. In May 2019, I opened a storefront back in my hometown in Missouri. It had always been a dream and I was so excited...until 2020 hit and I ended up deciding to close the end of that year and focused on booth spaces, shows, and online. My husband, two dogs, and myself moved back to Arkansas for a fresh beginning. It's not been an easy journey and I'm still dealing with the aftermath that comes with closing a business.

I always enjoyed being the face of my business and sharing my personal journey. I found it easier to do with a bunch of "strangers" than people that "know" me worried about them judging me. I've been quite busy with my other business that I haven't let myself fully try this whole blogging/ influencing thing out. I'm finally ready to give it a real try because why not? 

As I've entered my thirties, I'm just not hung up on a lot of things that I used to be and want to follow real, genuine people that I can relate to. I want to be one of those people to share what I'm just now figuring out to hold myself accountable, but also help someone else. It's not too late to make changes for a healthier, happier lifestyle. I'm excited to share my journey here with you all.
