Lots of us love blues, greens, whites, and greys. And if neutrals are more your thing, you might think you need to stay far away from a color like red. But we think it’s worth another look. 01. Mayflower Red (Benjamin Moore) This beautiful color from the Historical Collection might be a bit rich for […]

I’ve always loved the look of exposed wood beams, but I never imagined I’d actually ever have them. You know? You have to live in a hundred year old house, I thought, or build a custom home and have them as part of your architecture— I just never imagined I’d actually be in a situation […]

Truly, this little “makeover” will take 5 minutes. Maybe even less. I was at my parent’s house last summer, admiring their (what I perceived to be) gorgeous white stone statue of the Blessed Mother. I asked my mom where she got it, and she said they painted it. How this thought had never occurred to […]

I had no idea, as I glued a panel of wallpaper to my dining room wall in a rare moment of courage, the extent of the wallpaper love affair that would ensue. The design that I chose is more bold than I would have normally guessed for myself, but I love it so much, and […]

In 2020, we hosted Adele of Simple Life Musings on our Instagram stories home tour series. She lives in a dreamy D.C. area home (once featured in a Hallmark movie!) with her husband and seven children. You can watch the whole tour here.  One unique element we loved about their home is a “technology free […]

As we head out of summer and into fall (and winter), it’s looking like a lot of us are going to be spending quite a bit of time at home. But as we head into those crisp cold days, we want you to feel relaxed and at peace in your home, and sometimes a few […]

Dear Everyday Mamas community,  Two years ago, we launched this website with one foundational principle in mind: that “love begins at home.” We were drawn to this well-loved mantra of Mother Teresa’s a long time ago — and we still feel that there is no better way to articulate the value of what we do […]

Everyday Mamas was founded on the belief that love begins at home. We believe that as parents, everything we are doing in our daily lives as parents at home is important because it’s building the foundation for love to grow in our world — from the traditions to the education to the disagreements to the […]
