Hi there, I’m Megan and this is my crafty organized chaotic corner of the internet that you stumbled your way into!
I have a passion for lists, notes, and schedules and in this digital age, I feel that sometimes you just need something physical in front of you to focus on and to make sure you’re not forgetting something. (Guilty as charged on that last part…)
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME:
- I can’t count how many times I have read Harry Potter, and have no intention of stopping.
- I collect markers and colorful pens and have more adult coloring books than I will ever finish.
- Most often I can be found outside soaking in the sunshine.
- I have an obsession with hot tea and can be found drinking it night and day, year-round.
- I am by no means an artist but, I do consider myself quite the crafter.
- I am homeschooling my girls for as long as we all remain sane(ish)
Bitty is my first child, but I am a long-time caregiver. I worked my way through college as a daycare aide and then transitioned to full-time nannying after graduation. I then spent six years with my nanny crew, but sadly the inevitable has happened and they have all grown and started full-time school. This left me with the opportunity for my next great adventure. Full-time stay-at-home mom (SAHM).
FAMILY
I was born and raised in South Dakota, where I also attended college and graduated with a double major in Photography and Mass Communication.
Zak is my IT support. I mean my loving husband. He works remotely as a network engineer (he fixes computer problems) and is freaking smart as well as a bit neurospicy. We started dating when we were 17 and got married 5 years later. He spends his free time playing computer games and tinkering in his shop.
Bitty, Bean, and Bug
Bitty is our oldest daughter. She is creative, a classic firstborn, and wears her emotions on her sleeve! She is thoughtful, helpful, and her daddy’s brain. She is 100% a mama’s girl. Her favorite things are unicorns, rainbows and sparkles, art, and learning about space.
Bean is our middle daughter. She is the definition of a second-born Covid baby. She is fearless, and has a heck of a temper, while simultaneously being the sweetest thing you’ve ever met. She isn’t the biggest fan of being out in the heat… or cold, she likes it just right. She adores her sisters, peanut butter, and animals.
Bug is our baby girl. She is still too little to have much of a personality but she has everyone wrapped around her little fingers. She had me nearly 2 weeks overdue before she decided to come and she was my toughest labor yet. She’s pretty good about rolling with the chaos in the house while still getting what she wants most of the time!
Hollie is our doggo, we adopted her in 2014. She loves to swim and fetch (but only chuck-its and only the orange rubber balls) and she isn’t so sure about this thing called snow that we get up north here. Hollie has one heck of a stubborn streak but will do most anything for shredded cheese or popcorn.
THE MAMAMEGANMETHOD
I started this blog as a way to write things down and get them out of my brain. A trick I use almost daily to keep my sanity, and thought ‘hey if I need to write this down other people might find it helpful too!’
