Hi Friend! I’m Tracy, a wife, mom of 2 and the owner and sole creator of this blog. Welcome to Peachy Keen Papercrafts!
I created my site to share my printables, crafts, kids activities and stickers – all designed to make mom life not only easier, but more enjoyable. So you can get done what needs to get done and still stay connected with your kiddos.
You see, I know all too well what it is like to feel like you’re spinning mindlessly on the hamster wheel with a never-ending to-do list and piles of laundry. I’m saddened to admit that there have been days when I couldn’t wait for my kids to go to bed so I could get everything on my overly crammed impossible to-do list done. But then one day, I realized –
Some day, my kids will be wishing I would go to bed.
So now, I try to make the most of the little moments throughout the day, because today’s moments are tomorrow’s memories.
And not only do I want to be a part of them, I want to remember them.
So I began to create resources to help myself and other busy moms embrace whatever season we’re in, adding joy to the busyness and mundane. Allowing us to make progress and space on our to-do lists. And keep track of the moments turned memories of our days.
Because while not EVERYTHING on the overly crammed to-do list HAS to get done, there are definitely a few things that really do need crossing off.
So whether you need something last minute like a kids craft idea or printable (because life just sneaks up on us, right?), want to connect, make and keep track of memories with your kids, or need some creativity and downtime- stick around. Because these crafts and pretty printables were designed intentionally for a pretty busy mom like you.
Other Interesting Things About Me:
- I’m a homeschool mom- I’ve been homeschooling for the past 2 years since my daughter started kindergarten and will start homeschooling my son next year.
- I have a Master’s of Music in Musical Theatre – Once upon a time, my dream was to perform professionally. But God had other plans for my life and I am completely okay with that! I love that I get to stay home with my kids while creating stickers and printables to share and help YOU! I still love to sing and play piano and I direct the children’s musicals at my church.
- I’m obsessed with the 1950s- hence my name Peachy Keen Papercrafts. “Peachy Keen” became a catchphrase in the 1950s after appearing in a journal in 1951 and means, “very nice,” “excellent,” and “highly satisfactory”. And, that is exactly what I hope you find when visiting my site and using my products whether free or paid!
- I LOVE stickers! Like, obsessed ever since I got my first Lisa Frank sticker box! While my friends seemed to outgrow the sticker fad along with the Lisa Frank era, I never did. If that’s you- then you’re definitely in the right place!
- I thrive on Jesus – saved by grace through faith- coffee, and pretty pens. I usually make my own coffee at home, but if ordering from somewhere I prefer PJs of New Orleans or McDonalds Frappes over Starbucks (I know!). And, pens are usually somewhere on my Christmas and birthday lists.
