One of Traci’s favorite things about being an elementary school teacher was decorating and rearranging the furniture in her classroom. So it is no surprise to the people who know her that she now has a DIY decorating blog, Beneath My Heart. Being a stay at home mom for the past 12 years and learning to raise her 4 boys on just her husband’s income has caused Traci to think outside the box. She loves finding treasures at thrift stores and giving them new life. Her blog is full of DIY home projects that cost very little money, and her motto is, “Why buy it, when you can make it?!” Traci’s husband is her DIY partner in crime, and you will often find her 4 boys joining in the fun on her blog too! She loves running, daily stops at Goodwill, and believes a large coke from McDonald’s is a spiritual thing.
