About Me

About Me

Hi there! I’m Carla. I’m a 30-something mama of 2 daughters (ages 11 and 17). I’m a happily married wife. I’m considered a spoonie: someone who lives with a chronic illness or chronic pain and lives life by The Spoon Theory. In my case, I suffer from multiple spinal conditions such as: lumbar spinal stenosis, retrololisthesis, spina bifida occulta, and scoliosis. I’m also a PC gamer. I play games such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch, New World, Conan Exiles, American Truck Simulator, and more. If I’m not spending my time with family, blogging, or gaming, you can usually find me curled up with a good book. I’m a huge bookworm. I love reading books of all types; mostly thrillers and romance fiction.

About Candid Mama

I created Candid Mama as a way to pass the time while staying at home to raise my kids. My husband supported the idea. Now that they are grown, I am looking at other potential career paths. Right now I am looking to become Medical Billing & Coding certified. I love offering up parenting advice, sharing thoughts about what’s going on in my own life, traveling, collaborating alongside companies to promote their brands, building relationships with said brands, and meeting other bloggers and readers.
