About Me

Hi I’m Melissa! I am the Martha Stewart of Orange County and simple love it! I’m married to a pretty amazing New York City Police Officer. He is the best thing in my life, so supportive and keeps me grounded!  I am a special education teacher in one of the best school districts in Orange County and I love every moment! I love to read, teach, cook/bake, scrapbook, blog, shop and entertain! I am energetic and full of life and make myself laugh so hard I sometimes pee my pants. I’m organized…sometimes too much for my own good, I am sassy, talk all the time *mostly with my hands!* I have a passion for food like no other and truly enjoy life to its fullest!  I am excited to start a family one day but for now I am truly blessed to lead the life I have and thank God everyday for it! 

My husband is my best friend and the love of my life! I don't know what I would do without him! 

 Along with getting married we recently just bought our first house and our first dog, Jack! He has become part of the family and we love him to pieces!

 Our family and friends mean the world to us and we are so grateful to have them in our lives!

Blogging has become a great way for me to truly express myself and I love it!

Join me as I show off my DIY projects, family parties and the decor, and some food that is not only easy but yummy too! I am learning as I go so come along for the ride and thank you for stopping by!   It's as Simple As 1-2-3!!
