FEATURE FRIDAY: CARLY KENIHAN CREATOR OF BUN BUN BOOK

Hip, hip, hooray, Friday is here and episode seven of The Model Mama show is now live. This week’s FEATURE FRIDAY Mama is truly incredible and oh-so inspiring. Carly Kenihan is the most graceful and fashionable mama on the block. She wears many hats as a Social Media/PR Consultant and founder of her successful blog called, Bun Bun Book. Carly is also one of the “LA Ambassadors” for the incredible Mom Network, Hey Mama. It’s hard not to instantly fall in love with her, as she oozes positivity and is so open and honest about her emotional journey to becoming a mama.

This beautiful mama of twins has proudly become a Fertility Warrior. She bravely shared her IVF journey on her popular blog in 2016 and was blown away by the outpouring of support she received and all the women who were so grateful for her openness. The truth is that  1 in 3 women struggle with infertility and Carly proudly has become their cheerleader. And as destiny would have it, Carly’s beautiful babies were born in April, which also happens to be National Fertility Awareness Month. Carly agrees this is no coincidence, but a calling for her to continue to speak out about her journey through infertility, IVF and celebrating the arrival of her beautiful twins, Slater and Zoe.

This busy twin mama gets into all the real (and sometimes stinky) moments of Motherhood with a whole lot of surrender and laughter along the way. I’ll give you a hint – her funniest “mom moment” involves baby poop and an airplane! I’m still laughing about that relatable story and truly energized by all her insight about how she’s tackled Mommyhood with twins.

With the first year under her belt, Carly has fallen in love with her new routine, learned the power of surrender, playing a peppy tune, how to brush off the messy moments you can’t always control, and how to dress chic as a mama on-the-go.

I had an absolute BLAST chatting with Carly… tune in below for all her fabulous and practical insights!

WATCH OUR FULL INTERVIEW HERE. Pull up a chair, kick up your feet, grab a glass of wine (or perhaps some bubbly kombucha?) and join our real conversation about the raw and beautiful truths of mommyhood, including setting realistic expectations and how to enjoy the journey
