Welcome to My Little Corner

Hey, I'm Carla.

If you're here, you probably found me on Instagram, saw a post that resonated, or maybe a friend told you about the messy, beautiful, real life I share online. Whatever brought you here—welcome. I'm glad you're here.

This space? It's my little corner of the internet where I get to share the unfiltered, behind-the-scenes life of a millennial mom, registered nurse, licensed esthetician, and business owner who's building a legacy while raising four kids across three decades.

What You Can Expect Here

I'm not here to pretend life is perfect. I'm here to share the journey—the wins, the lessons, the tears, and the triumphs. This is where I'll talk about:

• Motherhood — From newborn chaos to college applications, navigating four kids across three decades, and everything in between
• Marriage — Building a partnership that lasts through seasons of change, growth, and life's unexpected turns
• Business — Co-owning Fleur De Lis Beauty & Esthetics, building a brand, and creating something meaningful
• Faith — How my relationship with God anchors everything and guides every decision
• Real Life — The messy middle, the hard conversations, the lessons learned, and the growth that comes from showing up every single day

Why I'm Sharing

For years, I've been living this life—juggling motherhood, building businesses, pursuing my passions, and navigating all the seasons that come with being a woman in this phase of life. And honestly? I realized that my story isn't just mine.

It's ours.

So many women are out here doing the same thing—trying to build a beautiful life while raising kids, chasing dreams while managing responsibilities, and figuring out who they are while becoming who they're meant to be.

I'm not just building a brand. I'm building a legacy. And I want you to see that it's possible.

Who This Is For

This blog is for the woman who's:

• Raising kids and wondering if she can still chase her dreams
• Building a business and trying to figure out how to make it all work
• Navigating marriage and wondering how to keep growing together
• Feeling like she's juggling too much but refusing to give up
• Trying to show up as her full self—mom, wife, entrepreneur, woman of faith—without losing herself in the process

If that's you, you're in the right place.

Let's Build Together

This isn't just a blog. This is a community. A space where we can talk honestly about the hard stuff, celebrate the wins, and remind each other that we're not alone.

I'll be sharing my journey—the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the growth. And I hope you'll share yours too.

Welcome to In Living Carla. I'm so glad you're here. 💕
