Larissa Krutewicz Bio
Larissa is a self-proclaimed hat lady, babywearing enthusiast, wannabe yogi, and most importantly a mom to two beautiful girls, Gracie and Norah. She and her husband, Justin, currently reside in the Southwest. Prior to staying home with her girls, Larissa was a Kindergarten teacher – a job that she was and is still passionate about. She uses that passion and her new experiences as a mother to run a website called Living in Color. She writes about honest motherhood, affordable style, and attainable wellness. Larissa also considers herself a VBAC warrior; she enjoys talking with and encouraging other women but now, especially those who desire a natural birth, or a natural VBAC birth.
