At CarissaJaded.com, we believe life is a beautiful whirlwind—sometimes messy, often hilarious, and always worth documenting. Our mission is simple: to shine light on the everyday moments that shape a full, intentional life. Whether you’re a first-time parent navigating the unknowns of pregnancy, a seasoned toddler wrangler searching for sanity-saving tips, or a wanderlust-driven family trying to make travel work with little ones in tow—we’re here for you.

This space was born from a desire to connect. To share stories not just about what worked, but also about what didn’t. We’ve learned that there’s power in vulnerability and strength in humor, so we focus on content that’s real, relatable, and rooted in experience. Here, lifestyle doesn’t mean picture-perfect—it means purposeful living, even when the laundry piles up and your travel plans get hijacked by snack breaks and potty stops.

Our team draws inspiration from the beautiful chaos of life with kids. From navigating the early months of pregnancy to figuring out how to keep a preschooler entertained on a six-hour car ride, we cover it all with a mix of practical tips, heartfelt reflections, and the occasional parenting misadventure. It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about coming together as a community to figure things out as we go.

At its core, CarissaJaded.com is for the doers, the dreamers, the nurturers, and the explorers. For anyone striving to create a life they love while raising little humans who will someday do the same. We don’t promise perfection—but we do promise honesty, encouragement, and a shared laugh when things get a little wild.

Dive in, stay awhile, and make yourself at home—we’re so glad you’re here.
