I knew going into Motherhood that I would get a front row seat to all of my children’s firsts. What I didn’t quite realize was that most of my first born child’s firsts would be my firsts for the rest of our lives together. Let me break this down for you. The Learning...
The Sabbatical
In case you’re new here let me catch you up real quick. I’ve been a realtor for eight years. I had my first child in early summer of 2018 and my second late summer of 2019. The pandemic hit in spring of 2020 and realtors were deemed essential workers. My business...
Regrets
Live each day like it’s your last. Live life to its fullest. Live without regrets. This is all so much easier said than done, especially that last one. I think it’s safe to say I regret one thing I did (or didn’t do) every day. Regrets don’t have to be big, they can...
Take the Trips
For years, I would see people posting pictures of all the fun they had with their kids on a trip and wonder why we weren’t like that. But then I realized something huge. For every perfect photo or video posted there were hundreds of screams, cries and whines that went...
I Choose You
Truly can’t believe it’s been eight years since we said ‘I do.’ I mean it when I say that I married my best friend. Zach is my person, he knows me better than anyone and he is my partner in every sense of the word. His positivity is infectious and is exactly what this...
Finding Me Again
Mom. Wife. Work. Repeat. You get into a routine and you just keep going. But at what cost? I realized at the beginning of this year that I had lost myself in it all. I realized I was not ok. With this realization came a wave of guilt that rushed over me. How can I...
The Default
Let me preface this blog post with a very important fact. My husband is very present and he helps a lot. He is my partner in every sense of the word. But at the end of the day, I am the default parent. Even though we both work, so much falls back on me simply because...
Everyone has a Hard
This one was hard to write because my ‘hard’ will seem like a blessing to many. Don’t get me wrong, a blessing for us as well. But for me personally, it was really hard. Our girls are 15 months apart. That means at just six months postpartum, we got pregnant with baby...
Fed is Best: Part I
You just gave birth and it's time to feed the baby. The lactation consultant rushes into your hospital room and tells you breast is best so you try to get the baby to latch with no success after multiple attempts. You're forced to keep trying until you're in tears...
Juggling All of the Balls
This one hits hard as I am and always have been a full-time working mom. Trying to be a good mom, good wife, good realtor, good friend, etc. a lot of times feels impossible. Maybe because it actually is impossible? I’m only one person so how could I be there for...
Meet Carly
I'm a top-producing realtor in Atlanta and a mom to two wonderful girls, living with my husband, Zach, and our mini golden doodle, Sadie.
Becoming a mother to my daughters within fifteen months was a life-changing experience; it was incredibly rewarding yet challenging, and I'm gradually rediscovering myself through this journey.
Welcome to my passion project, "No One Talks About It," where I share the unspoken sides of motherhood.
I've learned so much in these five years and invite guest writers to share their diverse experiences.
This project aims to support and enlighten others on their motherhood journey, fostering a community where we can all feel a bit more connected and understood.
