I’m Carmen. Welcome to The Mommy 365! I’m so happy you’re here. This is a place where I share easy recipes, wellness, travel eats, home inspiration, faith, and other sentiments that make life feel good for women of all ages.
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably noticed that my content has slowly started to shift in a new direction, and that’s completely intentional. As my children have grown, so has this blog. While mom life will always be a part of this blog, I’m no longer in the season of navigating the everyday challenges and happiness of raising little ones. Instead, I’m embracing a newfound joy of watching my children become more independent, discovering who God created them to be, and finding their own paths in life.
As life changes, so do the things that inspire us. Because of that, you’ll begin to see this blog naturally drift toward more lifestyle content that reflects the season I’m living in now. Along with the occasional glimpse into motherhood, I hope to share more easy recipes, wellness finds, travel eats, home inspiration, and, of course, faith.
This is one of my favorite pictures of my husband and children.
A Little Bit More About Me
In 2016, I resigned from my career to focus more on my family. As a stay-at-home mom, I spent my time helping my husband build his business, volunteering at my son’s school, and homeschooling my daughter. During that season of life, I also began blogging about things that motivated me as a stay-at-home-mom, sharing faith-filled inspiration, my beauty and natural hair products, recipes, and learning resources for moms navigating the preschool years while also teaching their little ones at home. This blog, formerly named “Life With Carmen,” became a meaningful creative outlet for me.
After being exclusively at home with my children for a little over 7 years, I resumed my career in early childhood education as a trainer. Early childhood education is more than just my profession; it has been my passion for over 20 years. In 2026, God opened the door for me to pivot professionally into the early childhood mental health field, bringing me a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. Balancing my professional life with family life has given me an even greater appreciation for simple meals, meaningful moments, and finding joy in everyday moments.
My husband of 19 years and our two children, ages 16 and 10, enjoy traveling in our RV, exploring new places, and discovering local restaurants along the way. These adventures often inspire the lifestyle posts, meals, flavors, and food experiences I share here on the blog.
Thank you for growing with me. I’m excited for the next chapter of this site, and I hope you’ll enjoy everything that’s still to come here on The Mommy 365.
