A Little About Me

I am a 50 something mother of two grown children, Derek and Amanda. They are my heart and inspired my blog name.

When they were younger their friends would always say “Your mom is so crafty”.

So, when I was thinking of a name for the blog they both said Our Crafty Mom, and that was it!

I’m a slightly craft-obsessed lifelong New Englander who drinks iced coffee 365 days a year and loves thrift store shopping.

Our Crafty Mom began in 2013. It is a home and lifestyle blog focusing on easy crafts, simple DIY projects, home decorating, and recipes done on a budget!

Dollar Tree crafts and upcycles are my jam! If you’re looking for affordable decorating ideas you may want to start with the ultimate collection of Dollar Tree crafts.

While I like trying out new recipes, they have to be quick and easy. I’m all about meals that can be made in under 30 minutes.

Appetizers and charcuterie boards are a favorite in our family.

We are also dessert fans, so you will find delicious (and easy) dessert recipes that you can easily make.

My 82 yo dad is my biggest blog supporter, and my “personal American Picker”, finding most of the furniture pieces I refinish.

Brand Partnerships

I greatly enjoy partnering with brands that I know and love and used long before I was a blogger including these amazing companies:

brand logos for sponsors
Cricut
decocrted
Decorated Curated Home

I’m thrilled to have been featured in the print edition of Country Sampler magazine. It was a pinch-me moment!
