In the last decade my life has taken many twists and turns that have rocked my world inside and out. With that, I am livin’ real with you after spending many years building my first blog and business, Prodigal Pieces.
While I am making this new journey in my life, I want to invite you in to cozy up and join me on continued DIY adventures, inspiring conversations with interviews, and loads of tutorials – much like before. What’s better is I’m not limited and just want to be ME.
GETTING TO KNOW ME
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about my blog and my purpose. I am Larissa, owner of Livin’ Real with Larissa as well as Prodigal Pieces – my entrepreneurial beginning. My life has many facets, homeschooling mother to 6 glorious children, barefoot junkie, avid real food advocate, gardener, crafter in all its forms (crochet, sewing, needlepoint, painting, woodworking… you name it!).
In my past, I have earned a college degree majoring in Interpersonal & Organizational Communication with a minor in Business Administration and Bible & Theology. During my collegiate career, I have had photography, Bible, and various other courses which have brought me to where I am today. I even had the opportunity to work on the college paint crew. (you can learn oodles by hands-on applications!)
As a child, I grew up in a family of 6 and one of my quirks was to rearrange my childhood home house at a whim. My family would come home to find the furniture in a totally different arrangement or would hear my furniture scooting across the floor in my bedroom at which I would hear, “What are you doing up there?” Or I would be secretly raiding the wood stash and tools to create toys.
Although I enjoy my business, my children come first. The business is the “icing on the cake” for me. Fun, profitable, and, hopefully, a blessing to those I come in contact with.
I would love to hear from you! You can message me at contact@livinrealwithlarissa.com
