I Am a Fort Worth Mama: Caroline Hull

0

Caroline HullCaroline Hull is a many-hat-wearing mama. She’s wife to “Chip” (for 6 years as of June 28) and mom to Fiona (3) and Maeve (7 months). Texas born and raised, Caroline settled in Cowtown 8 years ago, bringing her passions for coffee, indie music, and concerts along for the ride. She describes herself as a “hippie at heart” with too many hobbies to name.

Caroline is a ballet dancer turned writer turned designer who founded her own stationary business, Caroline Creates. She designs and sells eco-friendly greeting cards, wedding invitations, and stationery. You can catch up with her family at The Hull Life, where she and her husband capture the fun and frenzy of raising two beauties.

If we peeked in your purse right now, what would we find?

What’s a purse? These days it’s a diaper bag all the way! Epi-pen because I’ve been newly inducted into allergic reactions. Cloth diapers, wipes for days, teethers, pen and paper for my 3-year-old to doodle, a magic wand (also my 3-year-old’s), and a scarf because I can’t leave home without one. Hopefully my glasses are in there too because I’ve lost them again!

Why do you call Cowtown home?

Besides all of our family being here, we love the small town, big city feel. There is a also a great arts community and wonderful museums. I feel like it’s a great place to raise a family without the hustle and bustle of big city life.

What’s been the greatest joy of motherhood?

Love! I seriously did not anticipate how much my life would change for the better and how much I would love my children. My heart just aches thinking about it! It’s the greatest blessing to have the privilege to love those two sweet girls. Just watching them grow and discover is beyond amazing.

What’s been the greatest challenge of motherhood?

I have the hardest time taking care of myself and finding time for myself. I finally realized that I was only the best mom and wife I could be if I was feeling my best. My new goal now that the baby is getting older is to carve out that time. It makes all the difference.

How do you hope your life influences and/or inspires other women?

I’ve experienced a few major setbacks in my life that have led me where I am today, which is my life as a wife, mom, and business owner . . . and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope other women, but especially my daughters, see that you need to be open to the unexpected and with perseverance, staying true to yourself, and big dreams, you can make anything happen.
