    Celebrating Cultural Heritage in a Diverse Family

    March 14, 2025 /

    In the tapestry of modern families, cultural heritage is a vibrant thread that weaves together generations, traditions, and personal histories. Our family’s story is a beautiful mosaic of different backgrounds, languages, and traditions that we cherish and celebrate every day. Embracing Our Roots Growing up in a multicultural household has been an incredible journey of discovery and connection.

    How We Balance Life in a Big Family

    March 14, 2025 /

    The Beautiful Chaos of Big Family Living Have you ever watched a family of six pile out of a minivan at the grocery store and wondered, “How do they do it all?” As a parent in a household with multiple children, I often catch those bewildered glances from onlookers. The truth is, balancing big family life is both an art and a science—a delicate dance of organization, flexibility, and embracing the beautiful chaos that comes with having many children under one roof. When people ask me how we manage, I usually laugh and say, “Some days we don’t!” But in reality, we’ve developed systems and mindsets that help us not…

    Building Bridges in Blended Families: The Path to Harmony Imagine trying to merge two rivers into one seamless flow. That’s the essence of creating a blended family—bringing together different histories, traditions, parenting styles, and emotional landscapes into a cohesive and loving unit. With approximately 16% of children in the United States living in blended families, this family structure has become increasingly common, yet the challenges remain as complex as ever.

WRITER & BLOGGER

Carmen Edwards — mom of nine, doula, baker, and the woman who’s mastered the art of being chef, chauffeur, and chief everything officer for her bustling household. Through raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and probably way too much coffee, I’m here to share the real talk about raising a large blended family while chasing dreams, building businesses, and somehow keeping everyone fed, loved, and mostly on time.
