Your Handmade Home Magazine December 2017

Meg and Erin have some big ideas for giving back as well. They are considering
creating and selling a cookbook using recipes from their members,
with the proceeds going to help feed homeless veterans, and fund a scholarship
for military spouses.
“We’re all about giving back to the community that helped to build White
Walls. These things take time, but we’re excited!”
We asked Erin and Meg what advice they would give to new military
spouses who are just embarking on their journey.
“Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20. It can sometimes
be discouraging when, maybe you’re first starting out and have a
bunch of hand-me-down, mismatched furniture to see someone’s home
that is beautifully put together. Or maybe you’re at the stage in life where
your kids are little and your living room is overrun with toys--- it can be
frustrating when you scroll [Pinterest] and see pristine living rooms. You
don’t know which season of life people are in or where their priorities lie,
so stay encouraged, and positive! Enjoy the ride!”
Our hats are off to Erin and Meg for their enthusiasm and willingness to
help others. It is truly amazing that two women who have never met have
helped change the lives of so many.
