MEET Carrie

Hello friend!

Just sharing a glimpse of my world… which includes fashion for the middle aged gal, health, easy recipes, decor, family and coffee! Oh, and I may share some cute ragdoll cat photos on here from time to time.

My wish is that you take away something each time you visit Curly Crafty Mom. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life, such as a warm cozy blanket, an iced coffee (even in the winter) and ALL the ways to make life calmer, easier and a JOY to wake up to each day. Life is short, let’s make each day count!

Today I'm recapping 2 shorter races🏃🏼‍♀️that I've done in the last few months. BOTH of these races happened after tornados🌪️hit... isn't that wild? The Make Tracks Through the Zoo🦓🦒🦔race that I'll be recapping first was CANCELED, because a tornado went through the St. Louis Zoo 2 days prior to the race! I mean, what are the odds of this? So, I decided to donate my registration and I ran the race on my own. Then, I’m recapping the Chesterfield Shamrock🍀10K from March. We had 4 tornados🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️ touch down 5 miles from our house in Arnold, MO the night before the race. LOTS of destruction. Arnold still has a lot of areas that aren't fully repaired. I’m just so thankful my Spring half marathon went on without any craziness! Mother Nature is not playing nice this Spring!! I’m so saddened by the loss of 5 people from the May 16th tornado here in St. Louis. It is crazy how fast life can change. Please keep St. Louis in your prayers/thoughts!!🙏

I have found it, the 💐PERFECT Spring dress💕 I have found it, the 💐PERFECT Spring dress💕 that can be dressed up and down. @AventuraClothing’s Linden Fit & Flare Print Tank Dress👗 is easy, breezy and beautiful! The pastels in the floral print make it extra fun to accessorize this dress. I chose my new Kim Stampato 9” Light Yellow Bag💼💛 from @TeddyBlake and some coral wedge sandals👡 to add some pops of Spring hues🌈 to the look.

I recently wore this dress on Easter to church and brunch and layered a denim jacket over the dress when I got chilly in the a/c. This dress has deep pockets and bra-friendly straps (such a win-win!!). Best of all, however, is the sustainable fabric. Crafted from a blend of organic cotton, TENCEL™ Modal, and elastane, this slub jersey is soft, breathable and forgiving. The midi skirt length is perfect for the Spring when it can be a little cold or a little warm all in one day. I have fallen in love with the ease of the Linden Print Dress.❤️🥰

During our staycation last weekend, we stayed at t During our staycation last weekend, we stayed at the @DruryHotels St. Louis at the Arch.☀️🧳 #ad This was in a prime downtown location, with the St. Louis Arch BEHIND the hotel and Busch Stadium (Go St. Louis Cardinals!)❤️🤍 within walking distance. Our room at Drury Hotel was cozy and the perfect place to relax for our staycation. The hotel was friendly and clean with a built in parking garage that was secure and convenient. 

There is an indoor pool and hot tub💦 for kids, teens or adults that love to swim and relax. They have a hot breakfast🥞🥚 every morning and a 5:30 p.m. Kickback with wine, beer, cocktails and soda with warm appetizers and snacks. A warm buffet breakfast greets you in the lobby in the morning, which is included in your stay. 

The @STLZoo🐻 🐍 🐫 🦁 planned a fun day for us and we enjoyed the train, one of the new polar bear twins🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️ and much more. All in all, such a fun day and beautiful weather! We are so grateful to call St. Louis our hometown, there is endless activities to enjoy here!
