Her Story

Hello and welcome!

I’m Keri Lyn Renner and I’m so happy that you are here. I have been blogging now for almost 10 years and I’m the gal behind the computer here at She Saved. After almost a decade, I decided that it was time to give you an explanation about who I am and just why “She Saved”. The truth is, it’s taken me about 10 years to figure that all out myself!

If I have learned one thing on this journey, it is this: great things are meant to be shared and that (ok, two things!) we can all learn quite a lot from each other. Surround yourself with the right people, uplifters work best.

What you should know: I am fiercely brand loyal and I get totally geeked out and excited when it comes to sharing things that I love. You won’t find me sharing things that I don’t love, because what’s the point? Time is precious. Spend it on the things and people that you love. Simple.

I will choose quality over quantity any day of the week. I believe that less is more BUT paying less doesn’t always mean more.

Life is best when you hand pick the people and places and things that you spend it with. My peeps (above, in full 80s gear, below in *argh* Pirate form) are my world. Ride or die. I know that you feel the same way about your peeps. It’s what makes all of this so awesome. It’s a huge part of the “WHY”.

The WHY.

It’s about SO much more than saving money. It’s about time. Precious time. You work hard for your family. I work hard for mine too. I’m here to help you get the very most out of your precious minutes, memories and money. I’ve spend the last 11 years raising kiddos and figuring out that it all goes by way too fast. There are things worth spending money on, but mostly, there are things worth making time for. I write about those things.

I love my job! I’m a big believer in putting your passions to work, so that’s pretty much what I’ve done here. Frugally minded (it’s in my dna) I truly believe that no matter how much money you have, you need to be smart with your dinero. I love shopping, I love saving and I love finding awesome products and sharing them with all of you. As I already mentioned, you work hard for your money, make it work hard for you. I’m here to help with that. I’m also the proud owner of a 850 credit score. (whoop!whoop!)

About me, Keri Lyn.

I’m an Idaho girl, born and raised. A 40-something proud mama of 2 kiddos that are growing up way too fast. Honestly, my heart can’t keep up. I’m the wife of a country veterinarian who still doesn’t have an email account (for reals) and we live in a 1912 farmhouse that we started remodeling over 12 years ago. Heaven only knows when we’ll finish. Things are never dull in my world but I love it. My family. Country living. And my view. I love the view from here. I share it often on my Instagram page and I would love to have you follow along. As mentioned above, I only share things I love. I keep it real. I’m quirky but always well intended and I try to be diligent in my research, reviews and cautious with the information that I’m sharing.

What brands should know. All of the above PLUS the fact that I am a self-proclaimed “brand loyalist” who is known for her strong and enthusiastic voice when it comes to the products and brands that I love. I have 15+ years’ experience in brand marketing and a huge passion for participating in the connection between brands and consumers which has led me to become a successful consultant to several brands/companies, helping them to connect and build strong affiliate programs and relationships with bloggers. If you have a brand that is share worthy, I’m all ears. If it’s a fit, I’m all about sharing it and would love to help you grow it in the online space. Email me, let’s chat: shesaved@gmail.com

My love language!! I truly love the online space and the power that it has in bringing brands and consumers (people!) together. I’ll talk your ear off if you want to hear about why I love it so much and why I think that this form of marketing is not only valuable, but priceless. And if you have a brand that is trying to break into this space, hit me up. I’m your gal. *just don’t offer to pick my brain, that’s so buggy!

Bottom line, I’m a real person here behind the scenes at She Saved, and I would love to connect with you!

Oh! I also need to share that I am the proud mama to a giant mule named Big Mac. I call him “Big Baby” because he reminds me SO much of Big Baby from Toy Story. He’s beat up and old, but so full of personality. I rescued him and he rescued me right back. You can keep up with the latest Big Mac stories and more over on the She Saved Instagram page!

Be happy. What makes you happy? Meet my Happy. Isn’t he a hunk? He’s also needy, messy, he eats a LOT of groceries and he really likes his breakfast early. (Like before the crack of dawn early!) Let me back up a bit and explain. Several months ago I was feeling anxious and stressed and maybe even a little depressed about so many things, things that were out of my control. You might have experienced similar feelings. I felt like I was having a hard time finding my happy (any happy) among all of the noise and sadness in the world. So what’s a girl to do? I adopted a mule. That whole sentence sounds odd and probably completely crazy to some (it even still sounds completely crazy to me!) but here’s the thing: it’s not really about adopting a mule. It was about finding a place to put my energy, something that brings me joy, finding an outlet that feeds my happy, taking on something that needed me. And boy oh boy did he need me. He was literally bound for Mexico on a slaughter truck. I heard his story, and decided that with all of the things in the world that I couldn’t fix, I actually could fix this. And you know what, he has brought me so much happiness and joy. . . and lots and lots of kisses! What is YOUR happy? I love that I can wear my Be Happy tee to remind myself that this whole happiness thing really is a choice.
