Welcome! I’m Stephanie, the creator of Hope and Hedges. I am a mom to 6 young children (3 girls and 3 boys- plus 2 labs!), currently sprucing up our old home on the North Shore of Chicago. When I started my blog, I was a busy mom (still am!), who took my love of gardening and garden design, and created a little corner of the internet to share it all. Now, the blog features all things Home and Garden, with a dose of Mom-life. I have loved sharing decorating ideas for the home, the prettiest flowers for the garden, and favorite things for my family. Essentially anything I find helpful in life is worth sharing here, in hopes someone else finds it helpful as well. I am passionate about helping other moms manage “wearing all the hats”- from creating a beautiful home and garden, to enjoying motherhood and life’s little moments along the way. And I am SO glad you’re here!
For inquiries on working with me, or if you’d like to get in touch, please email: hello@hopeandhedges.com
A few extra things about me:
I have my MBA
I went to Northwestern- go ‘Cats!
I’m a creator at heart
I love interior design and traditional style with a twist
I love English and French inspired gardens
I love a well-designed room with beautiful wallpaper
Baking is therapeutic for me
I only drink decaf
My husband and I still quote Friends on a weekly basis
And being a mom of 6 has humbled and inspired me
My life is busy, my house is LOUD, my home & garden are a work in progress, and this blog has become a place to share it all. Join me!
Coming Soon : Hope & Hedges gives back! The Art + Philanthropy page features a curated collection of original art where a portion of artwork sales goes to different organizations or causes that inspire me and “do good” for the world.
