Oh, hello!
Meet Dani…
I’m Dani, a millenial Mama from New York with a profesh background in the beauty industry. For the past 10+ years I’ve worked as a Hair & Makeup Artist in television, film & print. I’m humbled by the opportunities I’ve had – which include a beauty segment on OK!TV, expert beauty tips featured in Cosmopolitan & countless commericals.
With a serious love for interiors, DIY’s & crafting, I recently started a small online business, By Crafty MAMA, selling handmade items that make unique gifts for the home or holidays. Many orders are personalized items for children, which has allowed me to connect with some awesome parents… & I’d like to continue that journey right here!
“Bringing life to small spaces & happiness to little faces.”

My superhero!
Meet Gavin
I’m a single parent & proud Mother to a five year old superhero nick-named, The Gavinator! With him, my hands are always full – usually with Star Wars legos or miniature figurines. He’s my #1 fan & greatest gift!
He’s currently a Kindergartener learning in-person (finally!) after a full year of remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re glad that was only temporary, but enjoyed all of the free time we had together. It left us lots of room for creativity & new, fun ways to learn!

Better together
We live in a cozy, two-bedroom apartment that has been a blank canvas for the past few years. In my free time, I love finding inexpensive ways to transform small spaces while keeping my toddler busy with an activity that’s fun & educational = happiness!
We believe that #creativitycounts & contributes to our overall happy, positive lifestyle. The Heartbeat of Our Home is here to inspire you to find beauty & joy in your own home, while connecting with others that are passionate about Motherhood & their little ones.
Each week I’ll be sharing bits & pieces of us on my blog – sharing my latest DIY projects, home decor, kid’s craft, cool finds, daily activity or a fun topic!
Hope to see you again, thanks for stopping by.
