Carachea

🌵 Hello! My name is Cara (car-uhhh). I am 34. I’m growing old with my fiancé of 12 years (yikes, right?) and we have an 11 year old daughter together. We also have 2 gray/white tabby cats who are brother and sister and they look identical named Taylor and Tyler. I never thought I’d be a cat person until we adopted them and I want more!! Okay, UPDATE 12/1/23: the Universal Cat Distribution System has gifted me a spunky and wild Tortico kitten! Her name is Ms. Bojangles because she makes the best biscuits ever. The twins have finally accepted her as their own and it melts my heart. Ironically, she has kind of taken over as the ‘ring leader’ and she constantly lets them know who’s actually in charge here haha.

We are from a small town in South Carolina where everyone knows everybody. Lately, I’ve been enjoying kayaking down the river to find new trails to walk to find some artifacts! If you ever want to trade, message me! We love to visit the beach in the low-country (Beaufort) as much as possible. When there, you can find me fishing, on the golfcart, or looking for treasures on the beach. There is sooooo much Native American artifacts like pottery and points that I collect. Along with seaglass!

I am a SAHM who used to work as a surgical tech for the ortho team until Covid hit. Although it was so rewarding, I am glad to put that in my past because it is so mentally and physically exhausting. I never had time to do what I love..craft!! I started my Etsy shop around that time and that has kept me super busy. I also coach my daughter’s fast pitch softball team so if I’m not home working, I’m on the field. Postcards/snail mail makes me happy!

I'm truly an easy going person and I tend to believe I do not have a long dislike list, but...

-I am not a tea drinker..just coffee and hot chocolate!

-I am deathly allergic to pine nuts.

-This month (June 2024) marks 16 MONTHS sober from alcohol. This year has shown me so much grace and determination within myself and every day is still a struggle and that’s ok. This is what got me into snail mail..I needed a healthy outlet! With that being said, some things and images still trigger me like drink recipes and images. I know it’s my own personal battle, but just keep that in mind ❤️

Let me add that that I am always so dang happy to receive anything that someone put just the tiniest effort into because that truly is special! So I would love anything you send and if I can’t use it personally, I will gift it to someone who can.
