It only makes sense that my first blog post is a little more info on myself. I’ll try to make this as least corny blogger as I can lol.

So, here it goes, a summary of me (the short version).

My name is Raven Kramer. I met my husband, Alex, while we were in college at Northern Illinois University. We met the fall of 2013 and got married August, 1, 2015. We were blessed to welcome our first son, Cephas, into our family in the spring of 2016. Another blessing, our son Zebedee joined us the fall of 2017. It was shortly after my husband and I had our second son, we left the institutional church and began gathering together under the Headship of Christ organically with other brothers and sisters in Christ. Our family has a deep passion for Jesus Christ, His Body, and the Eternal Purpose of God. We love Jesus and live by His Life. It’s His Spirit that lead us to move to Tampa Bay from the Chicagoland area in the summer of 2019. Our family lives in the city of Gulfport, a small seaside town on Boca Ciega Bay that’s surrounded by St Petersburg. We welcomed our third son, Judah into our family this past summer. We feel extremely grateful to live and be able to raise our boys in such a fun and beautiful place. My husband and I say often we live our dream life everyday. My hobby (when I can find the time) is getting planty. I have over 100 plants, and I’m also slowly starting my veggie garden. I also side gig as an Instagram Influencer. It’s taken me to some pretty amazing places and has given me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. To have a community of love and joy both locally and online has been a huge blessing.

When we first moved to Tampa Bay a year and a half ago, I had the HARDEST time finding other mom friends and navigating family friendly activities that were available to us. As we have spent the last year exploring and making friends, we have found SO MANY fun things to do for everyone in the family. My experience is what’s led me to make this blog! I wanted to help other residents of Tampa Bay and travel enthusiasts have a reference for all of the best of Tampa Bay. From our weekly Forest School locations, to the best beaches, to date ideas, to night life, to events and more. This blog gives you an all access pass to a local’s faves of Tampa Bay. I am a wife, a stay at home mom, an influencer, and a friend. I have a broad, fun, and joyful outlook on life, and I’m happy to share that with you!

SO WELCOME!

I am so joyful you are here and taking the time to read this. I hope the information I share can be helpful and encouraging to you! This blog is a highlights of our adventures, to see our daily life check out our insta !

the beginning of more to come,

Raven
