About Ripples of Joy

A little corner of the internet where busy parents can find calm, creative mornings — one activity basket at a time.

Hi, I'm the mom behind Ripples of Joy

First things first: I am a mom to three beautiful kids — a daughter who is 6, a son who is 4, and a tiny baby girl who is just 2 months old. My days are full, loud, messy, and absolutely wonderful.

By training I'm a mechanical engineer. By heart I'm a birth preparation instructor, the CFO of a small company, a substitute teacher at our local school, and someone who simply cannot stop creating.

Why I'm here

I started Ripples of Joy because I want to share the activity ideas that have saved my mornings, sparked my kids' imaginations, and brought real joy to our home.

Each basket is a little recipe for play: a few supplies, a simple setup, and space for kids to explore. My hope is that other parents will find their own joy in creating alongside their children — even on the days when everything feels like a race.

Because the world can feel so automatic sometimes. Everything is a chase. I would love to scatter a little magic around and remind us that we can also enjoy this — the mess, the curiosity, the tiny hands busy at work.
