Last month marked Harts & Pearls 5 year anniversary so I sat down with our founder, Desiree, to get the scoop on what it's been like for her to be a mom, an entrepreneur, and everything in between.

In this no holds barred interview, Desiree explains how she created Harts & Pearls as a way to stay at home with her newborn daughter, Hartley. At this point in her life she was homeless and fighting the idea of leaving her daughter with a babysitter so she could go back to her old dead-end job. She had no start-up money and no investors. She didn't have a business plan or even a direction for her vision. But what she did have was hope and a dream of a beautiful life for herself and her daughter.

Ready to be inspired? Watch to hear Des' motivating words.

And last but certainly not least thank you to all of the H&P supporters, who have allowed us to keep this business growing. Without your ongoing support, Desiree wouldn't be where she is today.

Stay tuned gals because Harts & Pearls has big plans for our sixth year!
