About Lockdown Diaries with Carrie
Looking back over my photos and videos during Lockdown, I see that I was immersed in gardening, books new forms of exercising, my artisan projects such as making all natural soap, lotion and other health and home care products, while learning to cook from my amazing in house chef (husband Mikey) and all the while – training a German Shepherd puppy. I decided I have a lot to share that might just inspire, encourage and make people smile. I am self taught on so many of my hobbies and I will share resources and links to whatever I can that might help others. Someone once said to me “Walk in your greatness…”an I love to pass that on to others because I believe we are all unique and great in our own special way that compliments the world. Thus the inception of The Lockdown Diaries with Carrie.
