The following post was written by Simple Kids editor Kara Fleck.
We’ve had some new readers join us at Simple Kids recently and I wanted to officially welcome all of the new faces I’ve seen in the comments lately: I’m so glad you’re here and joining in with me on this journey.
If you haven’t yet taken the time to explore the blog, I thought today would be a good time to give a little behind-the-scenes tour of Simple Kids – a reader’s guide, if you will.
Who is Kara?
So, first things first, who am I? My name is Kara Fleck. I’m married to Christopher and we have three kids: Jillian, who is eight, Max who is four, and Lucy who is two.
Since February 2010, I’ve been the editor of Simple Kids and I also have a personal blog, Rockin’ Granola. That photo above is my desk, affectionately known as “Simple Kids Headquarters.”
Like many of you, I often find myself pulled in more than one direction. I wear many hats: mother, teacher, writer, wife, homemaker. I am not perfect and I don’t have all the answers, but I have learned along the way that life is the most peaceful for me and for my family when we keep things simple and focus on the basics, the essentials.
Something else that I have learned over the years is that families exist in a fluid state – children grow, needs change, surprises (good and bad) occur, life happens. Mindful parenting allows my family stay connected and that connection gives us roots, no matter our season of life.
