What are Callaloo Soup & OCB?
I started telling stories on my blog Callaloo Soup way back in 2005. It was a peek into my life in France as a new immigrant from the West Indies. It soon morphed into a lifestyle blog, including crafting, and motherhood. Along the way I developed my Organised Crafterbrain site - which helps busy creative people find the time and space to make things they love.
For the last few years I have kept the two side separate; reading and life style on one side, and crafting on the other, but I know that people don’t separate out their passions, so this community is a reflection of that.
At the heart of it all, I am about inspiring you to be curious about your life, read more, be creative, laugh, and enjoy the simple things.
What’s in the community?
When you join the Callaloo Crew you’ll get weekly 5 things for the weekend letters (which will always be free), and the weekly What’s Happening Wednesday chat.

For the entire month of December all subscribers, free and paid, will receive all the e-mails as a sort of Holiday trial period.
The 5 Things for the Weekend e-mails and the weekly What’s Happening Wednesdays chats will continue to be sent to all subscribers free of cost.
Whether you stick to the free letters, or upgrade, I want to thank you for letting me hop in your inbox. It means a lot, and I am so thankful for my community.
