Hi there,
With three incredible little humans who keep us moving, thinking, and growing, meet the family behind Marly Augusts. Together, this blog captures our favorite meals and fun kid activities.
We live in Oakland, where our days revolve around parks, kitchen experiments, and the wild energy only kids bring.
This space celebrates little wins (like matching socks) and big ones (like sleep), all rooted in connection and family.
When I was seven, I asked my dad who he thought the most powerful person in the world was. I guessed it was a president.Maybe a doctor or lawyer. He shook his head and said, “A teacher.” Mind blown. That moment stuck with me. Now, as a parent, I understand what he meant. Above all, parenting is the most humbling, challenging, and meaningful kind of teaching there is—and every day, it teaches me right back.
After that realization, I decided to make this blog more than just a highlight reel. Whether you’re a fellow parent, a food lover, or someone searching for honest, real-life stories, I want you to feel at home here. This space welcomes all of us in the thick of it—doing our best, finding small moments of joy, and learning as we go.
Between the “I’m hungry!” cries, piles of laundry, and constant “Mommy, watch this!” moments, life moves fast. But we’re here to share it, one story at a time. Grab a coffee, take a look around, and stay a while. We’re so glad you’re here.
xx, MA
