Hello, World!


Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Troy, I’m a DFW-based blogger and the author behind Mae Holiday, a quirky combo of my middle name with a fun noun (that kinda sorta rhymes?)
As a full-time working mom, I’ve got a pretty busy schedule during the week. I develop software during the day, then pivot to wife/mommy-mode at night by juggling responsibilities such as:
- Exploring ways to convince my 1-year old to enjoy tummy time
- Planning and preparing a healthy low-carb meal for my diabetic husband
- Sword fighting with the piles of laundry and/or dishes that are revolving unwelcome guests in my 2-bedroom apartment

In between the motions of day-to-day life, no matter how fast or slow the world around me spins I constantly reground myself and remember that each moment deserves gratitude and grace. Thus, Mae Holiday is born, a space for those moments to be documented, shared and celebrated. I’m no expert, nor will I ever claim to be. I’m just a mom doing her best with what I’ve got! My aim for this blog has many layers:
- Layer 1: A creative outlet- A place I can call my own that I can express my interests, likes, and experiences!
- Layer 2: A motivational hub- A place to share helpful homemaking, organization, and productivity tips and tricks!
- Layer 3: An exploration- I love discovering and trying new things, like recipes! I’d love to document the experience and share it with likeminded explorers who are looking for reviews
Excited to see where this journey leads, thank you for reading <3
