Hi there! I’m so excited to welcome you to my very first blog post! My name is Melissa Giannini, and I’m a 38-year-old wife and mother of two boys. I was born and raised in Ohio and am passionate about healthy living, fitness, fashion, cooking, and DIY home repairs/decorating.
I’ve been wanting to start this blog for several years now, but with being a mom, it’s been difficult to find the time. Finally, I decided to take the plunge and create a space where I can share my passions with others in hopes of inspiring and helping people along the way.
Before we dive into the content, I wanted to give you a little background on me and what led me to blogging. By profession, I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and have been in this role for 7 years now. Prior to that, I worked as a bedside nurse in the NICU for 9 years. While there are certainly difficult days, the joy and miracle stories make it all worthwhile.
Now onto a fun story I like to share – how I met my husband. It’s a small world indeed! I grew up less than a mile away from him, but we didn’t officially meet until after college through mutual friends. We hit it off immediately and got engaged after only 4 months of dating. This June, we will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary!
One of my major passions is healthy eating and living. It’s taken a lot of trial and error to find what works best for my family, whether it be different recipes or healthy products used in the home. I’m excited to share my story and some quick, easy recipes that can be adapted to fit your family’s needs. I absolutely love sharing my passion with others and helping them live a healthier life.
I also love a good DIY project! My husband is incredibly handy and helps bring my visions to life. We built our house several years ago and have found ways to make it more adaptable for our growing family. I’m excited to utilize this blog to share some DIY home projects and show how we are decluttering our home, especially with having two boys and so many toys and things.
Do you also struggle with keeping your home organized? I understand the struggle, which is why I’ve created a bin system for both my boys’ bedrooms and the playroom. This has helped every item have a home and be organized, which makes cleaning up so much quicker and allows me more time to spend with my family.
Thanks for reading and I’m excited to share more with you in future blog posts!
