Hi there and welcome to my little corner of the universe!
My name is Emily and I’m a wife & momma just taking it day by day in the Sunshine State. My husband, Joe, and I are high school sweethearts and best friends. We have a beautiful daughter, Fiona Quinn, who is the light of our lives. I am excited to take you on this journey with me!
A little bit about me…
I was born in Alabama, and my family moved to Florida when I was 9 years old. I’m a southern girl through and through. Fall is my favorite season (even though we don’t get much of that in Central Fla!), and all that goes with it… I’m looking at you plaid and pumpkin spice! Also, I am a bonafide Target addict (I know, I know, I’m a rare bird). I mostly grew up in a suburb of Orlando and met my husband when I was 16. We started dating and the rest is history. We enjoy the beach, theme parks, water parks and travel. About a year and a half after we married, we found out we were expecting our sweet bundle of never ending energy joy. I can’t imagine my life without our little wild child.
School & Work…
I attended the University of Central Florida (GO KNIGHTS!) where I majored in Interdisciplinary Studies [Commerce & Social Science] and a minor in History. I knew I had big plans of going to beauty school after college and becoming a major salon owner some day. Just in case that didn’t pan out, social media marketing was my backup career choice. Well, life happened and we found ourselves working in my in-law’s restaurant far longer than expected. I kept putting my focus on building a career on hold. After having Fiona, I realized that my dreams of becoming a hairstylist were not practical for my ideal family life. So, I quit the restaurant, left my part time salon job in my cousin’s shop and started working for a financial advisor. I actually really loved it, but found that I was missing a creative component in my life. That is where the idea of this blog was born.
So happy to be here…
I follow beaucoup bloggers on various social media platforms, and I really feel that this is my calling. I’m naturally an introverted, socially cautious person, but love to communicate and cultivate friendships once I feel safe. I have a small close-knit family, being that I’m an only child, and my few closest besties (they all know who they are), they are my whole world. I don’t know what I would do without all of them and the different ways they support me. But, I need to do something for myself…to connect outside of my little world. I am not naturally a writer by nature, but I can ramble and talk about things that I love to no end. That is why I have chosen not to blog about any one particular topic…
I’m looking forward to this…
I want to use this platform to discuss anything and everything I love with my newly rooted friendships (that means YOU!!!) which could be anything from Home Décor, Life with Kids, Mom Friendly Style, FOOD, and anything else that flutters my wings. I can’t wait to hear from you and look forward to what we create along the way!
Life can be quite a Mess sometimes, but its up to you to make it Marvelous!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
–Emily
