I’m Taralynn

Lifestyle & Food Blogger

Hi, and welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Simply Taralynn is my lifestyle blog where I share bits of everyday life as a mom, favorite recipes, travel guides, and more. I’ve been blogging for fifteen years!

I’m passionate about creating flavorful, nutritious recipes that make wholesome living easy and enjoyable. As a mom, I love quick meals — and I always share them in my recap blogs! I also love finding fun things to do around town with a toddler, traveling the world, sipping coffee in new places, and oh my goodness, do I love gardening!

16 years of lifestyle blogging

How it all started

About Me: I’m Taralynn, based in Charlotte, NC. I’m married, two time boy mom, and a full time blogger. Life is busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

What You’ll Find Here: My lifestyle and recipe blog covers a range of topics—from weekly recaps (a favorite around here!) and travel guides to gardening, healthy living, meals for toddlers, and sourdough recipes. I write about what I love, whether it’s trying out new coffee shops, being a mom, sharing home projects, or traveling to new spots with the family. I love providing simple recipes, and everyday moments that make life fun.

Daily Life: When I’m not blogging, I’m usually baking, chasing my three year old as he chases the dogs, gardening, or trying a new cozy coffee shop. I love the simple things in life like sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee, shopping an antique store, or catching up on a reality TV show. I’m known for baking pumpkin treats year-round and listening to Christmas music in July! 

Collaborations and Inquiries: I enjoy partnering with brands that fit my blog’s style and values. If you’d like to collaborate or request a media kit, please email me at taralynnmedia@gmail.com.

I’m happy you landed on my blog! I hope you enjoy the free recipes, fun weekly recap posts, and travel guides!
