Meet Kara

Hello, my name is Kara! I'm 24 and am currently living in California. Born and raised So-Cal girl, but have also lived in Idaho and Arizona (talk about climate change!). My husband, Louis, of almost 3 years is in the Army, and we are proud parents of a beautiful 2 year old daughter, Breelynne Mae.

We have a cat named George who acts like a king, but still is a curious little monkey. Little is actually an understatement... He's a giant, grey ball of fur. We've also recently welcomed a new member of our family. A 3 year old German Shepard/Blue Heeler mix named Nala, thanks to Jackie :)

Louis and I have had some crazy ups and downs, between unemployment, age difference (he's 3 years younger), preterm labors and miscarriages. Bree was our 3rd pregnancy (we're up to 4 now), so once I finally had her in my arms... gosh, the love we felt can't even be described!

We co-sleep, I proudly breastfed for 18 months, and could NOT stop worrying about her weight, SIDS, and every other baby scare that's out there! While the whole time, she was perfectly healthy and just had some gas. Yes, I am that parent.

My biggest interest in life is spending time with my daughter. Teaching her, finding new ways to make her smile. Unrelated to babies, my interests would be art, time traveling through literature, wood repairs, as I once worked in a cabinet factory and found that I'd enjoy my job much more without the time crunch! And, of course, music! A wide variety. Almost anything but country. Classical, 50s music, and even screamo and metal. The list goes on!

As you can probably see, I have a lot to talk about. I'm very open minded and I welcome new experiences!  Definitely looking forward at what's to come of being a part of Reviews, Chews & How-Tos!
