We were lucky to catch up with Melissa & Lauren Socorro & Tevere recently and have shared our conversation below.
Melissa & Lauren, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
In a world where you spend more time at work than home with your family, we believe it is important to have that “family” in your everyday tasks. Having a family where you spend 90% of your life makes the day so much happier and go faster.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Two strangers, that became family in a short period of time, Lauren and I are moms juggling life together. We both are married, have 2 children, work full time, running from sports activities, family life, but find the time (somehow) to craft and bring people’s vision to life. It’s what we love and have a passion for. Crafting certainly relieves the stresses of everyday life.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Just do it! Never had we imagined that one craft show would get us where we are. It’s takes, drive, determination and balance! We know that together, we have all three! Balance when it comes to each other all the while balancing life!
Lauren definitely has all the knowledge and I wouldn’t know half of what I know without her! I am the one with the thousands of ideas and definitely drives Lauren crazy because my mind runs in a million directions! I am always looking for new ideas and sending it to Lauren at any hour of the day! Lauren grounds me! It’s called balance!
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
Let’s face it, feeling overwhelmed is part of life! But think of it this way, it’s a feeling and it goes away! We use crafting to zone out and having that time to focus on just one thing at that very moment. Find that one thing that you can use to focus on, it really does help! Others use, taking a walk, reading a book, or even taking a drive. While sure those things may work for them crafting is for us!
