Welcome! I am a mom to two wonderful kids, a lovely retired greyhound, and a wife to a great husband. Needless to say, there are a lot of daily messes to clean up around our house. Daily Messes is my blog to share ideas on things to do with your kids, snack and meal ideas, crafts, and holiday fun. I hope you find something to enjoy!

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Welcome to Daily Messes! I am so glad you found me! (Either on your own or from the Ultimate Blog Party. The UBP is a place for bloggers to meet up, get to know each other a little, and discover new blogs. Either way, I'm happy you're here!)

My name is Sarah and I am a stay at home mom with two wonderful boys. I worked full time for several years, then went part time after my oldest was born, and finally became a stay at home mom shortly after my youngest was born.

I ran an entertainment business with my husband for many years, which involved lots of party planning aspects. I tend to go slightly over the top on my kids birthday parties. I wrote my first book late 2011, Animals to Trains: A Children's Birthday Party Guide. The book goes over different aspects of a party (invitations, decorations, food, activities, and of course the cake!).

After I finished the book, I still had lots of ideas, many of which didn't fit into a birthday type of mold. My husband suggested that I start writing a blog, so here I am! I now write Daily Messes (www.DailyMesses.com). It is a spot for parents to find things to with their kids, craft ideas, recipes, snacks, and holiday fun. My goal is to post daily and to hopefully give moms (and dads) new ideas of things to do with their kids! I just started (1 month on Saturday!), but it seems to be going well.

    1. We have now entered the Lego stage. I discovered that they are not good to step on without shoes ;)
