Meet Claire

Claire is a thirty-something-year-old mother to the most amazing boy and his four-legged, furry brother. She’s a working mom who is married to a guy who lives in a suit and is truly the best dad. Claire spends too much time in the kitchen (thanks, food allergies), where she’s always trying to recreate new versions of her favorite childhood recipes. She discovered her love for reading and writing later in life (sadly, after college). When Claire is not working on The Basic Moms posts, she is busy writing away for the crafting niche, which makes her Pinterest-loving heart happy. Claire is a lifelong Arizonan, and even with the crazy heat and scorpions, you can usually catch her spending family time outside.
