Hey there!
I’m Miranda
I live in Michigan and am the creator of Filling Our Days. I love being outside and spending time with my children. I spend most of the day as a stay-at-home mom and have found activities and crafts to be such a helpful tool in my parenting journey. I’m here to share ideas you can try in your own family so you can reclaim your peace and enjoy the time you have with your children! Together let’s build memories and a life you love.
