DIVORCE

Surviving the Holidays Without My Children

This was the first year I have spent the holidays without my children, but it may have been the most magical.

About Carly

I tend to be awkward when it comes to introductions, so let’s get on with this! I’m the official chauffeur to two children, 13-year- old Boston, and 11-year-old Jocelyn who have my whole heart and are my world. My 15-year-old Cairn terrier, Snuggles, rules the roost, and drives me crazy, but he’s seen me through all the tough stuff and all the joys.
I’m a total “foodie” and my favorite pastime is trying new restaurants. I'm the self-proclaimed "spicy little princess" winning a spicy sushi eating contest and hot wing competition! I’ll take on anyone who wants to try to beat me! My favorite snacks are hot peppers and limes with salt! Welcome to my corner of the internet. I hope we can all learn to thrive through our struggles and find joy in this crazy journey we call life.
