Hey, I’m Karlie.  I am a 25-year-old Midwestern soul who lives in Denver, Colorado.

I am just getting started in this big ol’ blogging world.

The idea behind my website is to empower people like you!  I want to inspire you to be creative and make you feel like you can do anything!  I want to give you confidence and remind you to be silly and have fun.

I have extremely high standards for myself and I feel like that fuels my passion to see people around me thrive.  I want people to be the best them they can be!

I am married to my heartthrob, Joey.  He works long hours as a project manager for his family business.  My husband is the most kind and caring man I know.  His genuine heart for people makes me such a proud wife.  Like, so proud that I could start crying if I think about it too much.

We got married on 07/11/2015.  {{Yes we so did.}}  7-Eleven, baby.  We will have to get a free Slurpee on every anniversary for the rest of our lives.  We are thrilled to see what God has in store for our marriage.  Marriage is challenging—it is stinkin’ hard work—but I would not trade it for anything.

I do love Jesus and my Bible.  I am always baking and entertaining.  I’m super grateful for my family and all of the crazy, overwhelming blessings that keep showing up in my life.  I love chocolate covered cinnamon bears and Swedish Fish (and apparently red dye).

I probably spend way too much time organizing, geeking out, and sometimes I drink too much coffee.

If you would like to know more about me, send an email to karlieandoats@gmail.com!  I’d love to get to know you and your story!  Let’s be friends!
