Our Sweet New Normal: Tampa Bay Parenting + Tampa Mama

 

 

With April only a few days away, I couldn’t wait to share the news! Drum roll………….

 

AHHHHH!!!  Shelby & I were asked to be on the cover of Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine (THE BEST parenting magazine in Tampa Bay!)  I have read this magazine for 14 years.  The editor Laura, has become an amazing friend and I could not be more excited to see that Tampa Bay parents get to have HER guiding them around our city! It’s a beautiful publication and one that many bloggers have the opportunity to contribute to.  She believes in collaboration and I just LOVE her as a person too!

My story “Our Sweet New Normal” is on 78. I was so honored to write this with the JDRF Tampa Bay ONE WALK coming up Amalie Arena on April 13th. We are TEAM SHELBY and would LOVE to have you walk with us!

CLICK HERE to join Team Shelby!

Our story is only one of 40,000 each year newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I tell you about our diagnosis day, what our new normal is like & why research and funding are needed now more than ever. Thank you Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine for allowing us to share this important message. I hope you’ll read and maybe come walk with us! 

If you see us out and about snap a picture and tag us on Instagram at @TampaMama!  We’d love to see where you picked us up!

Meet Marisa Langford (A.K.A. The Tampa Mama)

Marisa Langford is the founder of the Adventures of Tampa Mama Blog, a blog that guides parents around the city (and beyond) to the best places for kids and families along with a realistic view from her life raising a large family. She is a working Mom of four, a wife of 20 years and is carefully juggling a full-time career in experiential marketing through her own agency (Langford Marketing Group), leading Girl Scouts, a 4-H Club and all the chaos that goes along with a family of 6.

With kids off to college and still at home, she balances life as best as possible, with the mantra of just wanting to raise good humans. Marisa is a speaker, influencer, and passionate about raising up others, helping others along the way and having fun while doing it. She partners with brands that share her passion for healthy living, on the go fun and family togetherness. In this personal blog, Marisa writes about motherhood, family travel, how to manage a household of 6, and of course all the fun places to go (as living in Florida is like living on a permanent vacation.) She has a daughter who is a Type 1 Diabetic and 3 children with rare medical conditions.

Marisa has been publishing content for over 20 years online. She has bylines in Huffington Post, Where Traveler, Parents.com, the Today Show Parenting Blog, Trekaroo and many more. She writes teen content for parents in Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine, and for other in print and online publications.
