Hi, I'm Mary. AKA Uncustomary. AKA your local Merr Hi, I'm Mary. AKA Uncustomary. AKA your local Merriment Maker.

I help people who are impressive on paper and quietly underwhelmed by their own life reconnect with the weird, curious, alive version of themselves that got buried under all that functional adulting.

I create playful experiments in joy, creativity, and kindness that help people break autopilot and participate in the world again.

If your life looks fine (or even impressive!) on paper, but still feels empty, flat, or just not like YOU, come with me.

You're too smart for easy answers. And too tired to pretend everything is okay.

Excerpt from my blog on Earth Day 2015: I got a b Excerpt from my blog on Earth Day 2015:

I got a bunch of people together to do some guerrilla gardening, which is simply doing gardening in a space where you don’t technically have the legal right to do so.

I’ve done some guerrilla gardening projects in the past that have been mobile, essentially dropping off a planter somewhere that can easily be relocated. This time, however, we set some roots.

On one of my many drives, a vacant lot in the Sandtown neighborhood of Baltimore spoke to me. It was on a pretty bleak street, with a ton of healthy grass & some beautiful vines on the brick behind it. It deserved to be loved, so I invited anyone who was interested to come out and help me beautify the lot.

The lot is actually huge, so we stuck to the left side where the grass wasn’t as overgrown. The first step was to pick up all the trash, & I filled a giant garbage bag full of an upsetting amount of litter including but not limited to a tampon applicator, used c0nd0m, 💉 & 🥄. I never said Baltimore doesn’t have its problems.

After that, we got to digging! The ground was damp from the intermittent rain we were working in, which made it easier to scoop but it still wasn’t easy. We filled the holes we made & the tires I spray painted with soil & beautifully bright flowers that flourish in full fun. We decorated with metal flowers, novelty stones, & porcelain birds. I also had spray painted a bunch of rocks that we outlined our garden with.

I also sewed together a bunch of beautiful crocheted rectangles that Erica mailed to me to make little pockets. I strung those pockets together in a garland which I then hung fake flowers from, so even in some sort of disaster where all our efforts of planting go horribly wrong & all of the flowers 💀 tonight, at least there will be some fake ones hanging in the distance.
