Starting her third year of marriage, Carrie Monroe
O'Keefe had already been on the roller coaster of
extreme highs and lows of a newly blended family.
Thinking she could do a better job of navigating
marriage, stepmotherhood, working full time, and all of
the things, she embarked on a year of "what if."
Settling into her role as wife and mom, she tried to find
ways to do things better, see things differently, and
reframe her thinking to create a better home for her
family and to feel more at home herself. With humor,
unwavering honesty, vulnerability, and sarcasm, Carrie
finds her way through the year and her true self.
