Holly – Editor: Special Needs
After earning a degree in Journalism, Holly worked at an ad agency and then freelanced for a few years before putting it all on hold to be a full-time, at-home parent.
As editor of Special Needs Bliss and writer for Family Bliss, Holly now spends her time entrenched in and writing about what she knows best – juggling all kinds of issues and keeping her family (mostly) on track and out of the ditch.
She leans heavily on her faith to guide her through her days bringing up three boys, ages 18, 10, and 5 – one with a mood disorder and another with autism. One of her highest goals – besides keeping the laundry from overflowing into the street – is raising spiritually strong young men who will one day make three women very blessed to have them.
Holly lives in suburban Indianapolis, with her husband, three boys, and one very fussy little white dog. She can also be found writing about her faith, love, and daily pursuit of sanity at My (Un)Controlled Chaos and for her church’s women’s ministry at In The Thick Of It.
Sarah – Editor: Family
Sarah is a work at home mom with a preschooler, a first grader and a newly-teenaged stepson. She's been married over 8 years to her Hubby, a guy she dated for two minutes in high school and found again a few years later. Sarah loves writing, reading, and fitness, and has somewhat of an addiction to Starbucks. She blogs at The Mom Chronicles and has recently started The 101 List , a to-do list of sorts of 101 items to accomplish in 1,001 days.
Malia Carden – Editor: Marriage & Relationships
Once upon a time, Malia asked someone, "What's a blog?" and since that fateful day, her life has never been the same. In blogging, not only did she find a way to share the wacky thoughts that permeate her brain on a daily basis, but she also gained a whole new group of friends, near and far, that she otherwise never would have known. Malia and her husband, DB, co-author their blog, "live.laugh.love."
Malia holds a B.S. in Psychology from Virginia Tech and plans to work on a Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy once the children learn that her shirt is not a tissue. She's hopelessly addicted to coffee, chocolate, The Internet and recycling.
As the editor for Wedded Bliss, Malia has been blessed by hearing from women who have found this site helpful for improving their marriages. Her hope is that you will always come away from here feeling uplifted, encouraged, and better equipped to be an Extraordinary Wife!
Lotus – Editor: Photography
Lotus Carroll is an emotionally volatile dork with a heart of gold.
After being in school for far too long, she earned a BA and an MA in Psychology. She thought she would use her degrees, and affinity for understanding people, to earn money. Instead, she is using them to try to remain sane as the mother of a very spirited and demanding toddler son and the wife of a road-touring, guitar-playing husband who is gone for long stretches at a time.
To stay sane, she visits her passions: writing, photography, nature, gardening, and food. She likes to laugh, but understands the value of a good cry. She talks to the people inside her computer. A lot.
She is the Editor of the Photographychannel at Blissfully Domestic. You can find her elsewhere at:
Personal Websites: Sarcastic Mom , Everyday Lotus
Reviews/Giveaways: Who Doesn't Like Free?,
Columnist at: Deep South Moms Blog, Quirkee.com, From The Mouths of Babes

No. She never sleeps.

When she's not slaying dragons with her trusty Dyson or weaving dream spells with stuffed animals she's usually nose deep in a recipe book, or standing over a hot stove creating tonguegasmic delights for her family and friends.
Rachel's secret ingredients for life and cooking are equal parts, Faith, Love, Hope and Laughter.

Christine – Editor: Health & Green Living
Almost exactly one month to the day after Christine graduated from medical school, her son was born. She delayed her internship for six months to be at home with him, and as those quick months were drawing to a close, she requested six more. When the time came for her to enter back into the world of medicine, she simply walked away. Christine's son is now ten years old, and aside from the occasional weekend photo gig (or home staging, my new entrepreneurial tangent), she's been a stay-at-home (sketchy homemaker) mom ever since.
