I’ve had a lot of new readers recently, so wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!
Hi! I’m MaryAnne! I started blogging last October, and it’s something I really enjoy! I love sharing the activities my kids and I enjoy, and learning from all of the amazing posts on other blogs.
I’m wife to my fantastic husband of nearly eight years, and mom to a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son. We have a baby girl due this summer.
I got pregnant with my first daughter while finishing up a PhD in Medicine. She “helped” me finish up writing, and even came to the celebratory dinner after I passed my defense. I really wanted to focus on being a mom after graduation. Fortunately, my husband was able to find a job that allowed me to do just that.
I cherish my life as a stay-at-home mom. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-experience the magic of childhood and to stretch my creativity as we explore new crafts, activities, and pastimes.
Now it’s your turn! Leave a comment saying hi with a link to your blog, and I’ll drop by!
MaryAnne is a craft loving educator, musician, photographer, and writer who lives in Silicon Valley with her husband Mike and their four children.

Hi so nice to meet you! Party on!
I found you on the UBP site. I love the idea of your blog. I started my own blog about 5 weeks ago on how to save money and make money and I haven’t had any time to do my scrapping and crafting! I have got to figure out a balance!
I too cherish being able to stay at home and spend my days (and nights!) with Sunnyboy. Your last sentence sums up how I feel about being a mother. Beautifully put!
