10 Days + 100 Spaces + $150: The OMHG Campaign!

Tuesday, February 5, 2013 by Jessika Hepburn

We are getting ready to launch our new site and this Romance & Finance theme could not have come at a better time! One of the things I've learned about being an entrepreneur is that we have to put love and money into our businesses to take them to the next level. This can leave us financing what we love from our savings and sometimes living paycheque to paycheque (& … [Read more...] about 10 Days + 100 Spaces + $150: The OMHG Campaign!

Extra! Extra! Our Great Nova Scotia Moving Update

Sunday, August 19, 2012 by Jessika Hepburn

Some of you may have noticed it has been terribly quiet around OMHG lately. The sale of our house closed on August 10th and we've been moving hard core ever since. This whole adventure started back in February when we began renovating our house with the intention of selling and moving. Four months of living in boxes and chaos while we prettified our home led us to putting the … [Read more...] about Extra! Extra! Our Great Nova Scotia Moving Update

A Sunday Stroll Through Brooklyn & Visit to Etsy

Sunday, July 22, 2012 by Jessika Hepburn

Last week I wrote about how in June I got to visit Etsy HQ in Brooklyn to get certified as an Etsy Educator.

Brooklyn felt like coming home to somewhere I have always known, my Nana was a Jewish Brooklynite who gave me a copy of A Tree Grows in … [Read more...] about A Sunday Stroll Through Brooklyn & Visit to Etsy

Towel Day, the day Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans everywhere take to the streets (& pubs) with towels in hand, to pay tribute to the late Douglas Adams. Wondering what on Earth is with the towels? ...a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically … [Read more...] about Towel Day Giveaway of Businessy Goodness!

Spark Retreat: Bursting Into Flame

Thursday, May 17, 2012 by Jessika Hepburn

  I've been looking everywhere for the right words to share my Spark Retreat experience with you. I've moved from gently prodding myself to strict "start writing now Jessika" prompts and it all just fails to do the week justice. I started out writing about the loveliness of New Mexico and moved on to trying to encapsulate the week in one post-not going to happen. … [Read more...] about Spark Retreat: Bursting Into Flame

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
