Welcome!

Hi there! And welcome! You’ll find this all throughout my page, but I am genuinely SO happy you’re here! My path and passions have taken LOTS of turns over the last four years, but the one thing that has stayed consistent over the years is my love of holidays, celebrating, and spending time with my family.

Since switching to be a stay at home mom, I’ve looked for lots of ways to still maximize my passions and hobbies. After years of working in corporate events, I attempted and failed at starting a private event company. Mostly because it wasn’t the right timing for me or my family. And I found that I wasn’t getting the same joy out of it that I did years earlier. I learned that I actually wanted to channel my energy into other areas. And over time, I realized that I can still use those same event skills and passions and just shift the focus from external customers to my two sweet kiddos. So I started doing just that. Overnight, I made the decision to start saying no to things that didn’t bring me happiness and instead started putting any extra energy towards making meaningful moments and activities for my kids and I to do together.

Over the last year, my family and friends have been so supportive as I’ve sent them daily pictures of each new thing I’ve dreamt up. And after lots of nudging and encouragement, they’ve finally convinced me to start a blog and document everything. (Could it be because they’re sick of my nonstop texts and pictures? Maybe a bit… but regardless, I’m grateful for their love and support ;))

So that’s what I’ve been busy doing! Instead of planning big parties for other people, I’m setting up pretend play stations for my kids. I’m dreaming up themed sensory bins. I’m finding fun new ways to celebrate each holiday. For no other reason than wanting to make meaningful memories with my kids, and to do what makes us happy! And it most definitely has made us happy!

Will there still be an occasional event on this page? Absolutely! My focus has just shifted. I do love events! And always will. Big and small. Corporate and private. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for events and a huge appreciation for event planners! It has felt like a bit of an identity crisis to close the door on that chapter of my life. But lately I’ve also been focusing on a lot of meditation and being true to myself and I’ve recognized that although events were a big part of my life, there’s a time and place for everything. Times and seasons. And I’m okay saying see ya later to the event season of my life. 

That being said, my favorite catch phrase lately has been Times and Seasons. The LAST thing I want this blog to be is a place that moms come and get discouraged or overwhelmed because they’re not doing “enough”. There are times in our life when we have the energy or capacity to be “extra” or to celebrate all of the little things (if it makes you happy to do so!) But there are plenty of times that we don’t have the energy or just don’t get joy out of celebrating every little thing. THAT’S OKAY! You are the best mom just by being YOU. Our kids just need us to show up and be present. And if getting out of bed is your win for today, treat yourself and call it a day! (Because let’s be honest, we’ve all been there). You don’t need to cut out hearts, or play elf on the shelf, or die your milk green in order to be a good mom.

This page is meant to give you ideas for the days when you do want to add a little extra sprinkle to your season. But on the days that it seems like too much, don’t be hard on yourself! Just like all times and seasons, the sun comes out eventually and I promise there will be a day when it seems like the sun is shining a little brighter. Forever and always, I’m cheering you on from my little corner of the internet! Hang on, momma. You’ve got this! And wherever you’re at on your timeline, I’m grateful that you’re here and will happily be your personal confetti thrower through any time or season.

Cheers!

Meg
