Hiya, I’m Michelle!
I’m a homemaker with a BFA and Child Psychology minor from NYU, as well as a dedicated mother of two beautiful children. I never imagined my life like this when I was growing up, but I’m so happy this is where I’ve landed!
My favorite parts of parenthood are planning birthday parties, creating holiday traditions, and celebrating every single occasion I can think of.
Bright Color Mom is being filled every day with ideas for celebrating your pregnancy, taking care of your baby, kids’ activities, family-friendly recipes (and cocktails for you), holiday printables, and motherhood hacks.
