I'd like to thank my husband, John, my family, friends and local community for all the support and encouragement you have given me over the years. I would not be where I'm at without all of you--as the saying goes "it takes a community" and I've been fortunate and lucky to be right here... where there's #MuchinHutch! I'm very happy and excited to turn the keys over to Heidi. She's got big plans to take Tidy Tightwads to the next level with the help of our dedicated staff. My phone number will be … [Read more...]
