Who Am I?

Hello and nice to meet you! Just a little bit about me... I'm Marisa, a 29 year old wife, mother of 2 little girls, and all around artsy/craftsy kinda gal.

My husband and I just bought our very first house and, not only are we thrilled to be done with renting apartments, but we are finally setting down some roots and couldn't be happier to build a home for our daughters. In the last 5 years, we have moved 8 times. Now, we can let those moving boxes collect some dust while we begin to enjoy life as a family in a sweet West Texas neighborhood.

I'm excited to share this blog with you all, sharing my decorating style, favorites, ideas and creative projects. I hope you love it as much as I do.

A Home Where Love Abides blog may be a new venture for me, but I'm not new to blogging at all... Interested in learning a little more about me?

Come on by Elegant Bloggery, where I share my life as a mom of two zany and creative girls, and as an illustrator with my own cottage-industry illustration business.

I'm also a contributor for The Mama Dramalogues, a one-stop spot for humorous anecdotes about being a mom and life with kids - hair pulling, kicking and screaming included - awesome family-friendly recipes, pampering DIY projects and crafty tutorials.

Thanks for popping by and I hope you love my little corner of the world.

Enjoy!

xoxo,
