WELCOME<\/h1>\n

Hi! I\u2019m Erin. I\u2019m a wife and mother of two boys. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Tim and my boys, Oliver and Otis.<\/p>\n

I started Clever Bloom back in 2014 (0r 2015 I forget. haha!) as a way of getting creative and sharing my creativity with others. Within that first year, it shifted from a DIY blog to a Houseplant blog.<\/p>\n

clever bloom<\/span> is all things houseplants now.<\/h2>\n

House plant club<\/h2>\n

Not long after Clever Bloom was created, I partnered with Morgan Doane (@plantingpink<\/a>) to create @houseplantclub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

House Plant Club is an online plant community for houseplant enthusiasts. Visit us on IG and use #houseplantclub to be featured!<\/p>\n

\n

A few years into House Plant Club, we were approached by Laurence King Publishing to write a book, and we said YES! In October 2018 we released, How To Raise A Plant and Make it Love You Back<\/a>! It is now available in 5 different languages with more to come!<\/p>\n

\"So<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for following along with me on Instagram<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a>, and right here! I hope to inspire you and encourage you to see the possibilities and beauty in everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TIM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim is the funniest person I have ever met.  My mom actually laughs at every word that comes out of his mouth.  Every. Single. One.  He is patient with me and loves me and those are two very hard things to do.  He is a designer at an engineering firm in Portland.  I don\u2019t even try to understand exactly what he does, it seems so complicated.  He is the logical brains to my crazy ideas, and that makes us a perfect pair!  He is wonderful in so many ways and I feel like the luckiest person ever! From time to time, you can catch snippets of him playing guitar and singing on IG but he hates that I post them. haha!<\/p>\n

THE BOYS<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first born is seven years old. Oliver is kind, so sweet, smart, and funny. We\u2019re always laughing at the things he says.He loves legos, period! His life revolves around them and he\u2019s REALLY good at building from scratch. But, if you ask him what his favorite thing to do is\u2026it\u2019s \u201csnuggling with mommy\u201d. He has made us so happy, it\u2019s really hard to have a bad day with him around. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Then came Otis.  He\u2019s five years old and is so cute and still looks like a baby (we still call him \u201cthe baby\u201d)!  He looks just like his daddy and has the best chin dimple. He loves music and dances around the house, swords, weapons, sticks, masks, and make believe. The way he smiles just melts my heart.<\/p>\n

JUST A FEW MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME.<\/strong><\/h2>\n
