Mari Deno

It starts out with a single glue gun and rubber stamps, then your own tools-complete with your 15 piece drill bit kit. Fast forward to today and if you could peek into my garage you'd find Martha Stewart standing there and whispering "It's a Good Thing!"

Ever since I can remember, I was always hot gluing something or shouting out "I'll do it!" and then organizing a party for whatever reason, wherever possible. Making memories is most definitely my drug of choice!

So with that said, I'm so excited and honored to have you here with me! I hope to encourage and inspire you to create incredible moments with unique and most importantly low cost ideas. Each month I'll post a new event, tip or creative idea and take you step-by-step through the process so you too, will be able to build beautiful memories!

So put down your margarita (just for a minute) and pick up your hammer because ready or not..here we go!

Going Green Snack Shack

August 4th, 2010 by Mari Deno | Make a Memory, Master Momz | No Comments »

As summer’s end draws near -
(seriously?)
I mean didn’t we just pack up desks and pull out of school parking lots!?

Well, I decided to take one last opportunity to create a fun afternoon with my two kids by modernizing (if you will) the ol’ lemonade stand. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a sweet and simple stand just like the rest of us….

However, I decided to kick it up a notch by implementing some organic snack selections, gave our “table” some well deserved beauty and of course involved the Wee Ones! As my daughter calls me “Vintage”- - I’ll leave you with “Lights please & roll camera!”

I’d love to hear about your 2010 Summer Memories!
Call it our Momz In The Mix “What I Did On My Summer Vacation” essay.
Email me with your Favorite Summer Highlight/Memory and I’ll post my Favorite Top Three!

Homemade Pizza Night!

July 6th, 2010 by Mari Deno | Make a Memory, Master Momz | No Comments »

Happy Fourth of July!
If I were to ask you which foods do you think of, when I say “all American” menu, I bet hot dogs and apple pie would be at the top of your list, right!?

Well, how about switching it up a bit and shouting PIZZA!
Why not!?! That’s what I thought of this Fourth of July!
Watch how I got the WHOLE family involved…(including Gromma Allie) and used fresh, organic ingredients. We even made our dough from scratch!

It was delicious! Most importantly its a great activity for the entire family to do together as you celebrate our Independence…not to mention extremely affordable.
I don’t know about you, but affordable is the American word I focus a lot on these days so,roll up your sleeves, grab your yellow squash and zucchini and here we go!!!!
