Pencils & Forks is a lifestyle and wellness blog of Karen Harrington. The blog was first created in January 2017 when Karen began a new wellness journey! The blog was created with the vision to help others achieve their wellness goals without causing inconvenience, extra money, and other challenging annoyances that can come with healthy living. The blog began to grow into something further as Karen shares her ideas in the classroom as she is a special educator in a local public school. Recently, Pencils & Forks has developed even further by branching off into the realm of motherhood. Karen, now a new mom of a beautiful baby girl has discovered her “new normal” that consists of constant bottle cleaning, smelly dirty diapers, spit up all over, and never-ending loads of laundry.  Although being a new mom has definitely had its moments, it is something Karen wouldn’t trade for the world. Karen is excited to get back into sharing her experiences, ideas, and love with the world in hopes to inspire, connect, and empower others to live out their passions and do the same!

Recently, Pencils & Forks has included many new elements of Karen’s personal life as it documents moments with husband- Jimmy, dog- Brady, and the newest addition, little Miss Olivia Elizabeth. Follow along with Karen’s journey on her IG page, (@pencils_and_forks) to see what she is up to in this crazy, fun, and beautiful little life.
