Welcome to The Suburban Diary,
I am a girl with a voice, a mind, a heart, a soul and the love for a beautiful life inside and out. My family is my everything. I have a passion for writing and the experience of fashion, travel, food, culture, design and my great state of Texas! I love to discover our amazing world and have so much adventure in my soul.
Truly yours,

From my Heart on July 2011
As I write these words, they come straight from the heart. In a place of trying to find myself, my place in the world, help others, better myself and keep my head above water… I cannot imagine a better way to discover myself AND help others while on my journey of life! Am I a Mother, a Wife, an Author, a Designer, a World Traveler, a Humanitarian, a Philanthropist, a Businesswoman or any combination of those things?!? I’m sure the best possible product of myself will be growing into those areas of my life and being myself. I hope to find my perfect balance.
I hope you find this real-life blog insightful, educating, inspiring and every feeling in between. At any given moment, this is the news, discoveries, fabulous finds, favorite places, successes, failures, experiences, feelings and thoughts I vow to share with my readers. I hope my diary is a breath of fresh air, a lesson learned and something new discovered for the open mind. I will cover every part of my life; entertaining, relationships, travel, style, motherhood, home, garden, social, etiquette, charitable, shopping, business, news, self-improvement and all of my encounters in between.
If at any point in our lives we stop learning, or trying to better ourselves, it is time to take a step back and figure out what in the world is happening in our lives. Curiosity feeds the mind, so don’t ever stop learning and exploring! Please join me on my journey of life… Let’s live to our fullest potential so that we may carry that light into the lives of our families, friends and the strangers we pass in life!
Welcome to The Suburban Diary.
Truly, Emily Arnim

Completely agree with you Emily! When I was younger I used to think that when I reached adulthood there wouldn’t be anything more for me to learn, I’d know everything because – as the younger, childish me believed – adults know everything. But I’m so glad I discovered that our entire lives are a learning process, & whether it’s a new skill, piece of trivia, or understanding myself, others, or life better, I learn something new every day. I cherish that ability to learn, just as you do, & I’m really moved by everything you’ve written here!
Stay stylish,
The Image Mistress, xoxo
Thank you so much Image Mistress! It is a wonderful feeling to have arrived at the place in my life when I realized there was still so much to learn and so many ways to grow. I haven’t turned back and I am truly enjoying the journey. The Suburban Diary has been the perfect platform to write and discover. Thank you for your encouraging words! Hugs!

Very inspiring and real. I love!
Thank you so much!!
Love reading your blog! I hope you might do an entry on what stay-at-home moms can wear everyday while running errands, grocery shopping, carpool, etc. I don’t wear work out clothes in public if at all possible and would love to see what looks you’d put together.
Thank you so much! I will definitely work on an article specific to stay at home moms. Great idea- stay tuned. Really appreciate you reading! XoEmily
I’d like an idea on some great Apps….free, etc… It’s so time-consuming finding those on my own. Any ieads?? :)
Hmmm… Let me think on that. Any specific apps you are looking for? I can definitely do one with some of my favorites, but I’ll ask for ideas too.
