Meet Me

Hi, friend! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Carolyn and these are the loves of my life – Peter, Carley Ann and Brady. We also have two dogs (not pictured here) who give us lots of snuggles and basically serve as our shadows.

I was born, raised and have never really left Silicon Valley (outside of traveling of course and one very short 8 month stint in Chicago – which Peter and I still look back on very fondly) Our life as a family has been nothing short of extraordinary – a constant, full-speed-ahead, 3 ring circus kind of deal – and though, at times, exhausting, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. We have had so many amazing adventures together and I couldn’t be more grateful for each and every one of them!! Currently, we are building our first (and last, hopefully!) custom dream home (in – where else for us, but…you guessed it – Silicon Valley) and the experience is par for the course of our lives – exciting, stressful, a roller coaster of emotions and…well, our extraordinary kind of ordinary.

This little space I’ve created on the internet is intended to inspire you to live your own extraordinary kind of ordinary. I’m a complete open book and everything but perfect. I’ll share with you our family adventures, personal styles, my mama tips & tricks, home design & décor and much more. You’ll get to see the end product, which is hopefully both pretty & inspiring to you. But I’ll also share with you what it took to get there – the good, the bad, & the not-so-pretty that came before the pretty J. I promise to be 100% real with you so stay awhile. Let’s get to know each other and don’t be afraid to introduce yourself and tell me what you think! I can’t wait to become friends!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

xoxo, Care
