Hello Children’s Museum fans! I'm so excited to be here with you, and can’t wait to see where our journey will take us. But first, it’s only appropriate to let you get to know me a little.
I'm Krista, and I’m the Everyday Mom in Everyday Mom’s Meals, or EMM for short. I began blogging 5 years ago (Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long!) at the request of family and friends who wanted me to share recipes in one place where they could reference back to them. I thought “sure why not?!” I never imagined where those first few keystrokes would take me. What began as a hobby is now a full time job. As a stay at home mom, I was looking for a way to connect to people, and boy did I find it! I am so incredibly blessed to do what I love, from the comfort of my home, while still being home when I need to.
When folks ask me to describe my blog I like to say “Everyday Mom’s Meals is a food blog for everyone from novice cook to experienced home chef. It focuses on family friendly meals to bring your loved ones around the table to make memories.” I’m all about quick, simple food everyone will gobble down.
As much as I love being in the kitchen, and then sharing those experiences with my fans, I am a wife and mother above all else. My husband Adam and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on May 17th, but we’ve been together for 18 years! In 2004 we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Alexander Lee (Alex) who is now an amazing 10 year old. Oh, wait, he would demand I say 10 ½ year old! We are a Tae Kwon Do family. Both of my guys practice in the martial art, and enjoy every minute. In fact, each of them just won the Indiana AAU Tae Kwon Do State Championship earlier this month! And for Alex, it was a repeat because he was defended his title from last year. As you can see, I am proud as punch of both of them.
To be chosen as a new Blog Ambassador for the Children’s Museum is such an honor, I can’t even put it into words. I have such fond memories of going as a child. I can distinctly remember standing in front of the water clock and being absolutely amazed. We have a photo of me on the carousel smiling from ear to ear. And now as a mom myself, I can share those same wonderful experiences with my son. In fact, we have a picture of him on the carousel on his first visit that looks so much like the one of me, it’s almost scary!
I look forward to seeing where our journey together takes us. I can’t wait to share some yummy food with all of you, and get your kids excited about bringing some of their favorite museum exhibits home with them in a brand new way!
