The Making of Salt + Charm

Posted on April 20, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

I am so very excited to give you all a little peak behind the curtain of Salt + Charm and introduce you to one of my favorite people, Lindsey Pruitt! I have known this woman for many many years and it was my privilege to enlist her help when I was ready to create this space. What I love most about Lindsey is her heart to encourage and support other women as they pursue their passions. {and also: she is stupid talented}

This journey was so very challenging in all the most wonderful ways! I invited Linds to share with you all a little about her creative process and how she helped me create the Salt + Charm branding. So enough from me – I’ll turn it over to her now!!

Hi everyone!

I’m so thrilled to dive in and discuss the process behind the branding!

To begin, a little about me:

LET THEM HOLD THE CAMERA

Posted on April 18, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

If you’re like me, you woke up this morning with some trepidation about all the things. I live with this constant low-level, across the board fear. And you may think that because it’s low-level then it isn’t so terrible, right? WRONG.

A Farewell Dinner Party

Posted on March 30, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

Honest moment: I have written and deleted this post no less than 12 times in the past few weeks.

My writing style has always been to the point, a little sarcastic and at times even irreverent, and I always play off of the food images. But this essay is not going to have a recipe nor will it have a string of process shots showing you how to pull off the perfect poached egg or how to truss a turkey…

I’M GLAD YOU DO…

Posted on March 15, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

FACT:

There will be nights when you absolutely don’t want to sing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” again for the 5698th time or read Fancy Nancy A-GAIN. But then she will say “momma pleeeeease” and so you will.

YES, YOU CAN DO BOTH

Posted on March 7, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

HEY, EVERYONE! IT’S MONDAY!

1. I’m going to bet that almost every single one of you woke up this morning with some insecurity bearing down on you… goodness knows I wake up fighting that battle every damn day. Those things that play over and over again like a broken record in our minds…

LIES WE BELIEVE ABOUT CO-PARENTING: PT 2

Posted on March 2, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

AS I HAVE SPENT TIME REFLECTING OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS OR SO OF MY LIFE, TALKING WITH OTHER FRIENDS WHO ARE IN THE SAME CO-PARENTING WORLD AS I AM AND TRYING MY BEST NOT TO IRREPARABLY SCREW UP MYSELF AND MY KIDS, I HAVE REALIZED SOMETHING.

WE ARE REALLY GOOD AT LABELING OURSELVES + EACH OTHER.

LIES WE BELIEVE ABOUT CO-PARENTING PT. 1

Posted on February 17, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

Let’s talk about co-parenting with someone who you are not married to anymore. There are a lot of lies about this that we embrace as truth and it’s time to show them for what they are… one by one.

LESSONS FROM MY THERAPIST

Posted on January 25, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

Yes, it’s true. I’m a certifiable THERAPY JUNKIE. I have a love/hate relationship with that damn leather couch.

The journey with my therapist started about 5 years ago. I found myself in the kind of place that no preacher’s kid, mom of two, ordained minister and worship leader wants find her little ol’ self. {Bless my heart}

I’M GIVING YOU PERMISSION

Posted on January 11, 2016March 6, 2021 by Abbye McGee

I’m resigned to the fact that my faith struggle is not only uncomfortable for ME… but it may also be uncomfortable for YOU. And while my first inclination is to apologize to you for putting us all in this awkward situation, I’m not going to.
