Howdy! I’m Rachel – a full-time mom and homemaker. While it isn’t the flashiest career choice, I love staying home with my mini-me. She’s my daily inspiration! I currently call Chicago my home, although it’s not my forever, I make the best out of what I’m given. My blog was created (mainly to keep myself sane) but also to inspire others to branch out and try new things.​

My Backstory

I was born in Florida, raised in Alabama, and currently residing in Illinois – Chicago to be exact! I moved here to focus on pursuing my interest in the Cinematic Arts. My dream was big – but my fears were bigger. Unable to afford the steep cost of tuition and expenses, I chose to settle on a simpler, more attainable career – Hospitality!

Soon enough, I had a mini-me on the way and decided to make a career change to homemaker. As it turns out, SAHM’s do ALL the work but get paid very poorly. With no income and a hefty amount of free time, I decided to start my blog  – Wanderlust Rachel. And the rest is history!
