Hello, my name is Carmen!

Hiiii!  I am so happy you stumbled upon my cozy little corner of the world wide web!

My name is Carmen & I’m a southern girl who loves traveling, shopping, Disney, clean beauty, Chick-fil-A, polka dots, monograms & pretty handwriting …just to name a few! ;)

I was born & raised in the Triad of North Carolina.  I went away to college in Indiana & then explored the world on The World Race (an 11-month mission trip to 11 countries around the world).  Thankfully, I eventually found my way back home & married a boy who will guarantee I’ll stay in the Carolinas for a long long time.  I love to call this place home!

I am married to my husband Jonathan & we are fur-parents to three sweet pups (Izzy, Lexi & Grey) & one kitty (Cali).  Can you tell we were binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy when we adopted them?

I have started this blog to share my journey to find joy in all my moments…even the moments where no joy seems to exist.  I hope this blog inspires you to find Speckles of Joy in your everyday adventure. Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media!
