The McCarthys, May 2016
I am a...
Follower of Christ. Wife. Mother. Homemaker. Artist. Graphic Designer. Photographer.
Wine Drinker. Book Reader. Writer. Nature Lover.
I originally started this blog after moving to Chicago as a newlywed, and it was formerly known as "Real Housewife of Chicago". After nearly 6 fun-filled years in Chicago, we decided it was time for a change. My husband, newborn son and I packed up and moved to northwestern Indiana, bought a house and are enjoying our new life in the "country". Hubby grew up in the area, so it's not new to him -- but this is the beginning of a new chapter for me in the Hoosier state!
More about me...
I grew up just north of Atlanta, Georgia, and am pretty proud of my Southern roots. Even after over a decade of living in the Midwest, I'm here to confirm that you can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl! I have been married for 9 years to my college sweetheart. Our son Cormac was born in November 2013, we welcomed daughter Moira in January 2016, and can't wait to meet our newest little addition in November! I am a work-from-home mom and love that I can pursue my freelance graphic design business while also caring for my children.
I use this blog to write about some pretty random stuff including (but not limited to): living in the Midwest/Indiana, being a wife/mother, design/art/photography, working from home & freelancing, my family, my faith, my fashion, and plenty of other topics. It is primarily a catalog for my own reference, but I'd love to grow my readership and inspire conversation in the blogosphere!
