Hi, I’M LynNettE
I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Lynnette and I live in Southern California with my husband, Mike, and our sons, Xander and Hendrix. I am a self-described “aesthetic mom” and am proudly Type B+ (all the Type A ambition and drive, but without the pressure and perfectionism). Think of me as your mom BFF with great taste and no filter who totally get’s it.

I’ve always been a deeply creative person with a passion for design - through the years, I have worked as a creative director, graphic designer and event producer for major entertainment brands. My career was exciting and I’ve traveled the world and worked with the stars. No matter where my work has taken me, who I’ve worked with, or what crazy things I’ve done - home has always been where my heart is. My love for interior design drove my to sign up for night school while working full-time and start my own side hustle just to satisfy my home decor obsession and give me a reason for all those weekend Home Goods trips.
I became a mom in 2021 and along with all the other titles I was already fulfilling - wife, daughter, pet mom, boss, and side hustle business owner - I added the best one, mother. With that, home became even more important to me. Balancing the demands of life and parenthood with creating and keeping the home of my designer dreams was tougher than ever. I’ve connected with so many other women who feel the same and just want their homes to be a place where they can feel good, love what they see, and enjoy their time with their family.
my home[made] haven helps my followers create their dream homes through interior design tips, inspiration, simple D.I.Y.s, and furniture and decor finds. But one of the biggest challenges I face as a busy modern mom is not just making it pretty, but keeping it that way. On MHMH, I share not just how to create your home, but how to keep it looking the way you want through easy habits and tidying tips. And of course, the heart of the home are the people in it, so I share simple and easy hosting ideas to welcome friends and family into your home without the stress.
It’s all about making your home into a place of calm, relaxation and beauty - making your home into a haven with your own two hands.
