About Me


My name is Mel (or Melly) and I’m a mama from the midwest, who LOVES adventure, especially during the fun and crazy journey of motherhood! Being a former elementary school teacher, I miss having opportunities to CREATE and connect with others, and so, Melly Moments began!
There are many things I love, as I’m often told by family and friends that I have too many “favorites”…
Decorating for the holidays, photography, traveling, children’s books, watching home videos, iced coffee, dark chocolate, adventures in nature, outdoor concerts, hammocks, bonfires, vacations, summer BBQs and fire pits in the Fall, my overly loud & fun-loving family, water-parks and rollercoasters…pretty much anything that brings out the kid in me!

A FEW OTHER FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

  •   I completed one of the top items on my Bucket List- Skydiving over the Swiss Alps!
  •   An 8 foot hammerhead shark swam past me as I went scuba diving in the Florida Keys!
  •   Volunteering at a Children’s hospital on the oncology floor profoundly changed my life.  
  •   Having Type 1 Diabetes doesn’t bode well with my massive sweet tooth.  
  •   The Target Dollar Spot is my ultimate weakness.  It feeds my addiction for making gift baskets!
  •   Music is an instant mood changer.  You’ll always hear me singing, just never the right words!  
  •   My collection of scarves, hats, and hoodies is overtaking my closet.    
  •   Mornings and I don’t mix.  Consider this lady a night owl!
  •   I have a twin brother, Matt.  He is the idealist and I am the realist.  He   was the “Man of Honor” in my wedding…..and no, I didn’t make him wear a dress 😉
