Why hello!

Let me introduce myself, I’m Melissa, and this is my blog, mama♥miss.

This blog is about a day in the life of this stay-at-home-mama, and my adventures in kid eats, kid crafts, kid activities, mama & papa eats, home DIY, kid DIY, and photography :) I started this blog as a way to share cool ideas & fun things with my family & friends…now let me introduce you to, the always running, constantly churning mind of mama♥miss!

My two little’s are:

V, my little goose & T, my bugaboo

Let me start off by simply stating that I am not “super-mama” in any-way, any-shape, or any-form. I have a BFA in Fashion Design & instead of designing women’s wear in NYC, I design fun activities & lunches for my children. That’s my job, to be the best mama I can possibly be while letting my creative flag flow every now & then ;) I have creative juices flowing through my veins and desperately need to express them in some way to be sane, and for me to not lose, “me”…ya understand? I am silly, sarcastic, goofy, and downright laughable. I make a lot of mistakes, A LOT! This blog is for fun…it’s fun for me, I do these activities, crafts, & recipes because it makes me happy – I am a creative person and if I can share these things with my kids while having fun doing it, I can’t imagine a better way to spend a day & to get me through that day…I mean seriously y’all, if cutting out stars & hearts in cucumbers maintains my sanity…so be it ;)

and here’s the fun stuff…

I use emoticons :) and ellipsis (…) way too much.
I heart taking pics of kids…of seeing their personalities shine through on film…that smile or smirk when I upload new pics brings joy to me (I also have a small obsession with taking pics of my food – I’m weird I know ;).
I try not to take myself too seriously yo. (my husband just asked me if I really just said “yo”)…I did & it only matters that it’s funny to me.
I’m addicted to pinning, follow me here.
I like to create, bake, cook, craft, sew, write, and make fun meals for my kids.
I LOVE grilled cheese and iced coffee.
I really am very disorganized, in an organized sort of way – HA! (you know Monica’s messy closet on Friends – yeah that’s me)

The name mama♥miss….well I’m a “mama” & my mom’s and sister’s nickname for me, Melissa, is “miss”, ergo “mama♥miss” (and the heart – well, it’s a little heart & I like it – I mean ♥ it!).

(It’s a really complicated play on words…stay with me here ;) (insert laughter here..because it was funny!)

I’m trying my damnedest to be super-mama & super-wife…but really in the end, it’s just me – mama♥miss, the good, the bad, and the funny (or what’s funny to me in my own satirical, sarcastic world).

I mama♥miss, do solemnly swear, that I will desperately try to provide you with a daily post M-F (sorry kids, weekends are weekends, my mama brain needs to decompress – well not really, but it’s sounds good! ;)

That’s me….I’m really glad you stopped by, and thanks for reading!

Oh, & I like to hang out here too…
