Being a mom is already quite a handful but when you’re working as well, things start to feel a bit too overwhelming and honestly that’s understandable. You have to take care of your home and also handle other responsibilities as well. 

Suddenly you start noticing the toy bin that’s overflowing, the playroom wall that could use a cheerful color, the pantry that made sense before snack multiplied. You see it all, usually while doing six other things at once, and you file it away for “later”, which somehow never comes.

CraftyMommies was built for that exact moment, the one where you want your home to feel a little more put-together. But you are realistically doing this in fifteen-minute pockets between everything else on your plate.

We got tired of home content that didn’t account for that. Most of it is either styled for a life with a full-time housekeeper and zero interruption, or it’s so basic it doesn’t actually help. Neither one works when you are a mom trying to get something done between a nap schedule and a school pickup. So we built something different, ideas that are genuinely doable, advice that doesn’t assume you have endless time and ideas that fit into real and busy. 

What You’ll Find Here

CraftyMommies covers a lot of ground on purpose, from home improvement, interior design to home organization and everyday home life. The idea is to meet you wherever you are, whether that’s planning a bigger renovation, tackling a weekend DIY project or a little inspiration between the everyday chaos.

We don’t believe a beautiful home and a busy life are at odds. A lot of what we share is built around small, doable changes that fit into a weekend rather than projects that assume you have a contractor on speed dial and nowhere else to be.

Meet The Experts Behind It

CraftyMommies is led by Destiny Soliz, our Home Decorating Expert, who brings more than a decade of experience creating comfortable, functional and beautifully styled family homes. We have Tami Turner, our Material & Finishes Experts, who makes sense of the countless options that go into renovating or decorating space. 

Julie Peterson, our Architectural Details Expert, who brings a sharper eye to the structural and design choices that shape a home’s character. Now to round off our team, we have Shannon Tate, our Home Improvement Expert, focused on practical upgrades real families can actually take on.

Together, they cover a home from nearly every angle, the big-picture design decisions, the small hands-on projects and everything in between. 

What Sets Us Apart

We try to write the way we’d actually want to read, honest, practical and doable without pretending every project has to be perfect. A lot of home content either overwhelms you with too many options or oversimplifies things to the point of being useless. We’d rather break a project down into something you can genuinely follow, rather than make it seem like you need a design background to understand. 

We also don’t separate “home content” from “mom life” the way a lot of sites do. Family life shapes how a home actually gets used and we think that context matters just as much as the design choice themselves. 

Our Promise

Our promise is to keep things real. We won’t hand you a project that looks good in photos but falls apart the moment real life touches it. What we share is meant to hold up in homes with kids, pets, busy schedules and limited weekends not just in a styled photoshoot.

We also won’t pretend every idea is quick or easy just to make it sound more appealing. Some projects genuinely take time. Others require a bit of trial and error and something feels like you did it wrong when it didn’t match the photos. 

At the end of the day, our goal is not to show you a perfect home. It’s to help you build a home that works for your actual life, mess, chaos, half-finished projects and all. 

Create A Home You Love, With Us

Whether you are renovating a room, working through a weekend DIY project, trying to organize your home or just need some inspiration, CraftyMommies is built for exactly that. You don’t need a finished vision or a perfect plan to be here, just a willingness to make your space a little better.

Maybe you are in the middle of a bigger renovation and trying to keep your patience intact. Maybe it’s a single afternoon project squeezed in between everything else on your list. Maybe you are not working on anything in particular right now and you are just here for a little inspiration to get through a long day. All that counts. There’s no version of “doing it right” that we are measuring you against.

So however you landed here, mid-renovation, mid-chaos or just looking for a little encouragement, we’re glad to have you.
