About Me
Hey friend! I’m Lauren - graphic designer, party enthusiast, and chaos coordinator behind A Visual Merriment.
Around here, we're all about creating fun in the middle of the everyday chaos.
Life’s messy… but at least we can make it cute and fun.
Making Magic in the Messy Moments
I know what it’s like to want to be both the fun mom and the organized one. For years, I was a solo parent juggling birthday invites, car repairs, home maintenance, and the never-ending laundry (seriously, where does it all come from?!).
I craved calm, but also color. Structure, but also space to play.
So I ditched the pressure to do everything perfectly and started leaning into the simple (often chaotic) moments - the ones that turn into real connection and lasting memories.
That’s when I began creating printables, tutorials, and blog posts that make life feel a little less frantic and a lot more fun… so you can do the same without the overwhelm.
Around here you'll find
DIYs & Printables
Crafts, games and creative fun that doesn't require a craft room or superpowers.
Organization & Planning
Chore charts, planners, and gentle systems to help you feel a little more in control, even if your toddler’s the one calling the shots.
Party Ideas & Done-for-You Printables
From birthday bashes to holiday fun, I make it easier to celebrate in style - without crying into a balloon the night before.
More fun, less fuss
This space is all about making motherhood a little less overwhelming and a lot more magical - with inspiration and tools that support you, not stress you out.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to do it all.
You just need a few things that make it easier.
Whether you're planning a party, organizing the chaos, or just want to sprinkle some magic into the everyday, I’ve got you covered.

Thanks for being here. Truly. I'm (still) here because of you all.
If you resonate with this space, don't be shy to let me know what you need (or just what's been bugging you!). Because I just might be able to help.
Let’s make some merry.
