ABOUT

Hello! I’m Christina, the author behind Carolina Charm. I’m the wife to Matt and a coffee fueled mama to two wild minis, Caroline (5) and Thomas (4). I love french fries and overusing exclamation points. I have a passion for gathering friends together, a knack for shopping sale racks, an amazon prime junkie and am a self-proclaimed expert in crockpotting. Despite the many trials our family has weathered, I believe that life is beautiful and it’s worth writing about day after day. This is a space for me to share the moments that make my mama heart spill over, a mix of recipes and more. A lot more. Grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile!

A deeper dive into my story…

Meet Matt

I met my husband, Matt, in a bar shortly after moving to Charlotte in 2009. More on that story (here). A year later he proposed on top of a mountain and the following year we said “I do!” That story (here).

That same year Matt decided to hang a shingle and opened his own law firm, The Law Office of Matthew T. Marcellino which is now Marcellino & Tyson. Oddly enough, I also work for a law firm doing non-lawyerly things.
