About

Hi, I’m Carissa. Welcome to everyday keeps, a space for slowing down and finding joy in the little things.

I’m a writer at heart and a former technical writer by trade. After years of focusing on my career, I’ve stepped into life as a stay-at-home mom. This site is my way of keeping my writing sharp while sharing tips and reflections on motherhood, faith, and everyday life.

Think of this as a cozy corner of the internet. We’re not about perfection here—just practicality and a bit of semi-crunchy living. Recipes come without long-winded backstories, and faith discussions are thoughtful invitations, not lectures. I’ll share what I’ve learned and how I’ve learned it, and you can take away what’s helpful for you.

I’m also dipping into creative hobbies, like doodling on Procreate, and trying to turn my flower bed into an edible garden. We’ll see how that goes…

So, grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile. Let’s figure out this everyday life thing together.
