Well, hello. Let me introduce myself.

Mother, partner, bulldog lover, and writer.

I’m Carly. I’m Canadian. Torontonian to be more specific. Born and raised here I think it’s the greatest city in the world. Except for New York, but who the heck can afford to live in New York?

I've been a mumma since I was 15 and have two sons who were born 18 years apart (almost to the day). I also have a husband. He is very smart and very stubborn. When he is at his most irritating I ask him sweetly to make me pesto and he does and so we are happy. I also have a bulldog. Her name is Clover. She is also very stubborn.

When I’m not managing my circus, or writing, you can find me teaching at the elementary school next door or preparing huge feasts for large groups of friends wherein we stuff ourselves silly and giggle, but please leave by 10 p.m. because I am very tired.
