Hello & Welcome to Happily Eva After!

My name is Eva Amurri, and I’m a Mom, Actress, Entrepreneur, and Blogger! I launched HappilyEvaAfter.com in 2015 as a way to share my own multifaceted interests that range from Style, Decor, Food, and Crafting…to my role as a new Mama! Now six years into founding my company, three kids deep, collaboratively co-parenting with my ex-hubby of 8 years, navigating new love with my boyfriend, a couple of product launches, and a move and home renovation under my belt—and I’m keeping it really REAL about what my life is like as a Mom, Woman, and Entrepreneur.

My life has been far from perfect. I’ve struggled with lifelong Anxiety Disorder. After welcoming our daughter, Marlowe, in 2014 I suffered a devastating miscarriage. Then shortly after my “Rainbow Baby” son’s birth in 2016, he suffered a traumatic brain injury. The darkest year of my life followed, with huge mental health struggles and intense strain on my marriage. I got divorced while I was 8 months pregnant with my third baby, and followed it up with birthing in a global pandemic. LOL. But it has all brought me to this current place, where I can honestly say I’m the happiest and most balanced I’ve ever been. I have transitioned from a marriage to a co-parenting and deep friendship with my ex-partner of 10 years, which is no easy feat—but so rewarding! I’ve also been learning so much about being vulnerable and opening myself back up to love later in life, and after heartbreak.

It’s been a wild ride, but I’m thankful today to have so much clarity on where I want to be headed. Sometimes the imperfections in life bring us the version of perfection we need most. It’s brought me so much happiness to connect with other people through this blog who are going through or have gone through similar life journeys, and I feel so grateful for the Happily Eva After community!

Becoming a Mom has been absolutely the most humbling, moving, frightening, exhausting, and joyful experience of my life. But in my parenting journey, I have often felt alone, searching for an honest and straightforward resource for some of my questions, struggles, and milestones. How do we balance Motherhood (a whole world in itself), our marriages, work, friendships, and our own personal hobbies or interests? At times I’ve felt guilty for trying to be the kind of Mom I want to be: one who can enjoy my life, take care of myself, and be a multifaceted, entrepreneurial woman—while also being a loving Mother and well-balanced human. I think we can be great Moms and also have unapologetically full lives. At least I hope so! I definitely don’t have all the answers, and I’m no “Expert” at any of the categories you will see on this site. I just try hard, and on the days I fall short I resolve to do better tomorrow. But I do believe that as women we have the greatest strength in numbers. I believe that if we support each other, try our best at parenting and in our relationships, and have a sense of humor, we can all find our “Happily Ever After”.

Xoxo,

EA

All About Eva

Entrepreneur

I feel so lucky to be sharing my point of view, and my experiences and interests in Life and Motherhood with the incredible readership of Happily Eva After! Creating a positive and energizing community has been one of the most rewarding aspects of starting this site, and I’m so grateful to be learning from and communicating with all of you daily! I appreciate you! As I create products for The Happily Eva After Collection, I always keep the amazing readership in mind—who at this point, probably know me just as intimately as anyone IRL.

Fun Fact: Pink is my favorite color, and Sibling Matching outfits are my greatest guilty pleasure!

Mama

My life as a Mama is constantly evolving and changing, and more than anything this journey has taught me a lot about what I DON’T know! Nothing like juggling work and three kids on the daily to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Such a strong personality and bright, goofy spirit from Day One—Marlowe Mae is our little Adventurer! She’s the best Big Sister in the entire world (more like a second Mama, actually) and is truly the funniest person I know. Kyle and I nicknamed her “Marlowe TV” from the beginning because of how entertaining she is to just sit and watch! LOL.

Major James is our little happy, chilled-out Zen Master. He started belly laughing when he was only a couple of months old! Major is also a Mama’s boy, but his love for me might come second to his other love: Dance! He takes Ballet, Jazz, and HipHop class, and can be found performing scenes from Hamilton or Newsies anywhere around the house.

My third child came in like a wrecking ball. LOL. Mateo Antoni was born just days away from my own birthday, on the day our country went into COVID lockdown. And with him, he brought a sense of rebirth for our whole family and family structure. He’s our deeply emotional and super fiery third baby. His greatest joy in life is keeping up with the big kids. And giving Mama mini heart attacks all day long…

Fun Fact: I Homebirthed all three of my babies! My eldest, Marlowe, was by my side when I birthed our littlest love, Mateo.

The Happily Eva After Collection

In 2021, I realized a lifelong dream by launching The Happily Eva After Collection. With four seasonal drops per year, our limited-release, lifestyle capsules each present with a strong editorial perspective that calls in certain memories or experiences from my life.

I’ve had such a blast designing each series, and even more of a blast hearing from our customers who love the product and price-point. I’m so excited to see where the collection is headed!

Friendly Co-Parent

I feel truly fortunate to be navigating the waters of divorce and co-parenting with Kyle. We have maintained a deep friendship and truly want the best for each other in this new chapter. It’s been a challenging, but rewarding experience to figure out our new normal—and I’m sure there will be many different phases of this kind of complicated relationship!

Like all areas of my site, I will be sharing lots about this co-parenting, modern family dynamic on my blog.

Style Obsessed

Fashion and Interior Design have always been things that brighten my day and help me express myself. I would characterize my personal style as being a Modern take on Classic Style. I’m drawn to flattering and timeless clothing shapes, with something a bit unexpected or exciting. And I never met a gorge dress I didn’t LOVE.

When it comes to Home Decor I like to call my style “Updated Traditional”—Classic mixed with a fun flair that never takes itself too seriously. I love mixing “High” and “Low”, and believe that Chic is a state of mind.

Fun Fact: My Victorian Home renovation was featured on the cover of HGTV Magazine in 2021!
