About me

Hello, I’m Melanie. I am a business owner in the self-care field whose life got flipped around during the 2020 pandemic, with one year open under our belts, and a whole lot of change. That is when I realized that I have to take care of myself to take care of others. Balance is an absolute necessity to have the kind of life that I would like to live and also to have a positive impact on others instead of feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. This blog is all about that balance and creating a life that I don’t necessarily need to vacation from. Thanks for joining me and reading through, and I hope that I can give a little bit of creativity, ingenuity, and fun to your every day life too!

The name House of Klaus comes from the renovation and rebuild of the house we bought for our dog (Klaus) and family to grow in! It’s a 120 year-old house full of surprises, and I have a video diary of our projects on YouTube. I hope you enjoy finding balance, connecting with and taking care of the Earth we live on, and getting crafty.
