My name is Marnie. I am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a twin, a little sister, a writer and a runner. I hail from Maine, a wonderfully down to earth place to grow up. I moved to the west coast in 1999 most recently, since 2004, have been living in Seattle. As you can see I am many things, which is what brings me to Carrots Are Orange, aka, my outlet to keep two feet planted firmly on the ground. What began as a virtual journal has swiftly evolved into a platform where I get to share what I learn through reading and research but mostly through my experiences as a parent. With a BA in Economics, a graduate degree in business and nearly a decade of professional experience in finance and investment management, my passion lies in teaching kids how to be responsible with money. I also write about Montessori ideas & activities, kids & travel and kids & food.
My goal is to be resourceful and accessible to you. I also want to make you laugh. I suspect that I will learn a lot through this process. I hope you do too. I have been told numerous times in my life that I should write a book of advice and then read it myself. So take it or leave it. I hope my sharing with you will enrich your life somehow someday.
Thanks for stopping by…I hope that I can inspire you.
Marnie
Marnie! You are such an over-achiever. I really enjoyed your blog and am so glad you sent the link. Thanks for sharing of yourself and your ideas.
Kudos to you to embracing motherhood with such gusto! I missed not seeing you guys at the last PEPs group. Hope you’re all doing well.

I have a blog as well, but I’m only able to update it when
big events occur so I can remember them later in my daughter’s life. J

I am a freelance writer and I was wondering if you’d be
interested in a writing opportunity I have for moms.

Hi Marnie,
I noticed you were a contributor to the kid friendly blogs on Pinterest. I found your blog through that link. I write a kid friendly blog you might enjoy.

Hi Becca!
Lovely blogs! We live in West Seattle currently. I’m excited to more fully check out your writings!
Best, Marnie
Marnie – this is an excellent idea and I’m sure it will be a great resource to people. Great work! As a new uncle I hope to pick up some tips!

Aww, thanks Veev.
I’m really glad I found your blog. I have some things in common with you (I am studying to be a CPA, have a toddler, and I live in Bremerton, but just moved here from Seattle) and feel that I can take a lot from it. Maybe I’ll see you around!
