About

Family Blog- Parenting Resource

Hello!  My name is Scarlet and I started Family Focus Blog about ten years ago. Since that time, it has become known as one of the most popular family blogs. I am happy to say that it is an award-winning mom blog but what interests me most is providing my readers with resources for a better family life. From parenting tips to family meal recipes, I try to share resources that you can use for inspiration in creating your own family lifestyle.

I have been interviewed by such sites as the workathomewoman.com, nashvillevoyager.com, mint.com and more. My words or work have been cited by Country Living, Money, Shape Magazine, Family Circle Magazine, Parents Magazine and more.

I am also an author and you can find my books though my affiliate Amazon link or at your local book store. My first book is Sharing Stories Making Memories and it is a journal for grandparents and grandchildren to do together so they can have strong bonds even across the great distances.

Here is a little more information about me below.

Family Blog- Parenting Resource
Summer of 2015

Yup, so that is me, my husband whom I met freshman year at Tulane University, our adorable, smart, sweet kids (can’t help but brag on them) and one of our crazy pet

Back at the young ages of 19 and 18, my husband and I struck up a conversation at the New Orleans House of Blues about who had lived more places. The next day, he came by my dorm room and the rest is history (goes to show the power of following up!)

My husband is a Spanish teacher and I am a blogger. I actually majored in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology but by some strange twist of fate got into retail and became a department manager for Macy’s and then a store Manager for Express, Limited, and Ann Taylor LOFT. I loved retail but when I had kids, I knew that working nights and weekends was no longer for me.

I wanted to stay home with my kiddos but I also wanted to contribute to our household income. I met a friend who had a blog and decided I would give it a whirl myself. I really enjoyed it. The more I blogged, the more I loved it. Blogging became a creative outlet for me and a way of building something that was just mine. It is so easy to become know as Daniel’s wife or Leo’s mom and it felt good having my own thing and having people know me for my work too. Did I mention I love work? I love staying busy with things I enjoy so becoming a blogger has been so gratifying for me.

    My Family Blog Is Meant To Be A Parenting Resource

    I really want Family Focus Blog to be a place where other parents can come for a parenting resource. I want this to be one of the best family blogs to inspire people, entertain people, and help people. I want you to know someone else has experienced what you are going through and you are not alone. Parenting can be hard but it is also the biggest joy that I know. I tell people, “Every age is a good age- so far!” And for me that is true. Newborn to 2 is one of the most special, wonderful stages but also the most exhausting trying phases. Then you move on- parenting is constantly evolving and I am loving every minute!

    I hope you enjoy Family Focus Blog and share it with your friends. You may want to follow along on Facebook too! Thank you!
