Meet Pamela List

Hello! I’m Pamela List, Your Guide to a Joyful, Organized Family Life

As the heart and soul behind MommaCan.com, I’ve dedicated decades to mastering the art of juggling family, career, and self-care. My journey began in the bustling kitchens of Westlake Culinary Institute, sharpening my culinary skills and contributing to restaurants in Memphis, TN and Whidbey Island, Washington, including a delightful café where our cornbread dressing was legendary.

Culinary Roots and Creative Flair

My Southern heritage and experiences richly influenced my culinary path, like designing tables at the Officer’s Club at NAS Millington. I embraced these lessons, carrying them forward into my kitchen and sharing them with other moms.

A Melodic Shift: Music and Teaching

Life took a melodious turn as I ventured into music, teaching young minds from kindergarten to high school I taught at the University of Memphis Community Music School and a local Catholic School and Church. This period was filled with songs and learning, all while running my own music school, Kindermuzik with Miss Pam.

Love, Family, and the Birth of MommaCan.com

Meeting my husband led me to California, where I began connecting with other moms through a Yahoo Group. As the digital landscape evolved, so did my vision, leading to the creation of MommaCan.com in 2009. It’s been a remarkable journey since, with my blog growing into a haven for busy moms seeking simplicity and inspiration.

A Symphony of Skills: Recipe Development, Web Design, and More

Today, I blend my passions for recipe development, web design, and graphics to enrich MommaCan.com. I’ve authored a book, crafted unique gift baskets, and am currently developing classes to empower moms in their hectic lives.

Join Me on This Exciting Journey

Every role I’ve embraced—from a culinary professional to a music teacher, from a devoted mom to a supportive wife—has enriched MommaCan.com. I invite you to explore easy recipes, thoughtful gift ideas, and classes designed to bring joy and efficiency into your family life.

I have struggled with many things that most moms contend with, money, clutter, home-management, middle-aged weight gain, and feeling like there is never enough time to do it all.

I have learned that no matter what happens, my kids long to see me happy and healthy. I also discovered they love an organized, beautiful home.

Thank you for being part of this community. Let’s continue to grow and learn together!

Mommacan.com is devoted to bringing the happy back to homemaking by sharing easy recipes, simple decor, free printables, and family and lifestyle tips for busy moms.
