Melissa S.

Melissa is a proud Nuyorican mom of three boys (ages 7, 15 & 16) who turns everyday moments into themed celebrations. With a background in television news production, she now channels her creativity into semi-homemade DIY projects, festive food ideas, and holiday traditions that bring her family together—whether they admit it or not. She’s currently navigating the overwhelming world of college searches with her oldest while juggling high school life and charter school adventures for her younger two. Melissa lives in Bedford Park and has been a lifelong Bronx resident, sprinkling a little “extra” magic into her home with love, laughter, and lots of decorations.
