Graciously Woven

Creatively Living and Sharing Grace

About

Everyone has something unique that makes them who they are, and this blog is a glimpse of mine.
I’m Carmen, the author and heart behind Graciously Woven Blog. Married for almost 10 years to my best friend and husband, Mike. We have four incredible children (3 boys and a girl). We currently live in Georgia and are a year into our homeschooling journey.
Here I hope to connect and talk openly about my relationship with God. How it impacts me as a woman, how I parent, my marriage, and honestly all aspects of life. I am BIG on celebrating the people around me – there is always room for more people at the table.
I do share products that I know fit into my life and how we function whether locally in Georgia or those that we can all access. I’ve been blogging for 8 years and I’ve loved the opportunities it’s allowed me.
I also love engaging conversations that help me grow. So not everyone in this space thinks, acts, or talks the same and that’s what I love most. I am constantly learning from each of you.

My hope for when you’re here is that it feels like home with a cup of coffee and a breath of fresh air. My heart has always craved community and genuine relationships. So friend you’re important to me and I love to listen to your thoughts, ideas, and your story. That’s why I’m passionate about spending time with those closest to me and enjoying the art of branching out to explore the world around me (I’m somewhat of the hermit crab). With two rambunctious boys that keep me on my toes, I share about being a mom, wife, and woman all intertwined and in need of massive doses of grace daily. It’s okay to talk about your imperfections, irritable moments, triumphs, and greatest joys – they all are a part of this beautiful tapestry called life.

I love to create and I work best in organized chaos with at least 3-4 projects spread out and glue, paint, and fabric remnants stuck to my fingertips. I couldn’t be happier creating and sharing what I love with those around me, yes that includes you! My grandmother was a seamstress, my grandfather a carpenter, and my mother is the most artistically gifted woman I know. They’ve all taught me something of their trade and instilled in me that same passion to create…to make something unique and with your heart. So I’m always doing just that, well in between nap times and the million other commitments I seem to make but love all the same…

If I’m not chasing our boys, helping plan the next event, rearranging our home, or planning a new lesson plan for my students I’m finding quiet moments to grow and learn. Life throws so many things at you it’s nice to take this journey and grow together, that’s what I love about this space.

So journey with me through this organized chaos…one cup of coffee, project, and conversation at a time.

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that be As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that because of the work done for social justice and continuously happening now, there are resources to celebrate diversity.

Growing up there were 2 options for hair - having “good hair” or achieving “good” hair through relaxers. Natural hair was reserved for mixed girls who had bouncy curls and length. I constantly wished to be “that” mixed girl, instead of seeing the gorgeousness of who I am.

Developing the confidence to love all of me and the hair that I have took years. Lots of tears and redefining beauty. 

I’m so grateful that our boys don’t have to wish for anything other than who they are. Being able to celebrate beautiful natural hair in all its texture has built confidence in them that’s priceless. 

So today I’m celebrating and thanking @youngkinghaircare for making even more space to diversify natural hair for little kings like mine. To remind them that there is value in exactly who they are ♥️ and WE SEE YOU!! 

The ability to find these hair products on storefront shelves now in Target is beyond amazing for our family. 

If you haven’t checked them out - PLEASE DO!! We love the product and the family behind it! #makedreamsreal #naturalhairboys
