Who is Marlaina?

Who is Marlaina? Well that is a really good question. Let’s go back to the beginning. Hello hello world, My name is Marlaina. I am 39 soon to be 40 years old and I was born and raised in the Bay area California. I married my high school crush and had 5 beautiful kids. After having my first son we decided that it was more beneficial for our family for me to become a stay at home mom, which is what I’ve been doing for the last 11 years. I’ll be honest though.. being a stay at home mom isn’t for the faint of heart. In the those beginning years of motherhood i really felt like I lost myself. It was only within these last few years that I’ve really discovered who I want to be. I am a late in life diagnosed ADHD woman who loves being creative and crafty. My interests and passions are constantly changing. I’m a proud Disney adult who enjoys going to Disneyland and indulging in ALL the foods. I’m also a Mom of 5 who recently went through therapy to break those generational toxic cycles. I’m finally at a good place mentally in my life and i’m ready to share my journey with the world.
