Hi, I’m Carla. Most of you already know me, and have maybe subscribed to various of my writing platforms in the past. As a former English teacher turned copywriter turned freelancer turned mother, I’m super excited to be back and to be using this as a platform to share some of my personal & more intimate moments that deserve more than just a too-long post on Instagram or Facebook.
I’ve also been fortunate over the last few years to develop relationships with various small shops, makers, and companies of all kinds, so I’ll be using my blog to review and promote some of the people and things we (namely me and the babies) absolutely love, too. I’ll organize my lifestyle posts, collaborations/reviews, kid activities, and any other one-off good ideas by page, so everything will be super easy to navigate.
If you’re my people, welcome. Be sure to subscribe so you get my post updates. And if you’re new and don’t already know me, then welcome, too!
A brief hello: I’m mama to Malcolm (2.5 years), Bodhi (16 months) and soon-to-be 3 (due in August) and figuring out how to roll with parenting has become my favorite dharma to date. I’ve done lots of things in my thirty years Earthside, but my babies and my perfectly imperfect family is my most important work.
I love iced coffee, taking pictures, friendships that don’t demand, salads AND donuts in the same day, and I’ve been loyally watching Grey’s Anatomy since 2005, so I feel like that says a lot about me.
Baby #3 is going to bring on a lot of big changes, but the biggest is that it’ll be the beginning of my journey as a stay at home mom. To three kids under three. I’m crazy, right? I’ll still be my own mom boss and running my Usborne Books & More biz from home, but other than that, teaching the occasional yoga class, and running my blog, I’ll be all mom, all the time. Yikes. Stay tuned.
I’ll try to post weekly at the very least. Thanks for being here!
