Welcome to First Thyme Mom

Hello, I'm Stephanie!

I'm a full-time working mom, food scientist by trade, blogger by passion, and aspiring entrepreneur who's always dreaming up my next big idea. Basically, I have a lot of tabs open in my brain at any given time. Can you relate?!

I started First Thyme Mom in 2015 when I was figuring out this whole motherhood thing for the first time. Since then, life has gotten a little busier, my kids have gotten bigger, and my interests have expanded well beyond baby food and figuring out what's for dinner.

These days, you'll find a little bit of everything around here: lifestyle content, DIY projects, food and wellness, home adventures, random things I've researched way too much, and stories from my everyday life. I'm a firm believer that there's always something new to learn, something fun to try, or something worth sharing (even if it doesn't go exactly as planned!).

My background as a food scientist means I'm naturally curious about what's in our food and how things work. But I'm also a mom trying to juggle a career, raise good humans, explore entrepreneurial ideas, and squeeze in a little fun along the way. I'm building toward something bigger, and I love sharing pieces of that journey, too.

I'm not here to pretend I've got it all figured out. I'm here for the wins, the fails, the experiments, the rabbit holes, the occasional over-the-top DIY, and all the little discoveries that make life interesting.

If you love learning new things, getting creative, finding practical tips, or just reading a good story from someone who's figuring it out as she goes, you're in the right place.

Thanks for being here. Grab a coffee, poke around, and let's see what we can get into!
