Hi, I'm Melody Akhavan Abbey.

Welcome to FROM CITY TO SUBURBIA, a lifestyle blog for thinking women.

I'm a thirty-something former corporate lawyer who is now a stay-at-home mom. In the span of just two years, I got married, moved from New York City to Dallas, left my job at a white-shoe law firm, started a new job at a legal non-profit, had a baby, and decided to take a step back from practicing law altogether.

I started this blog because I wanted to create a space where like-minded women in their thirties could discuss the things that matter to us in a meaningful way. 

FROM CITY TO SUBURBIA is all about:

• lifestyle
• motherhood
• career 
• relationships

If you stick around, you'll be hearing a lot about me, my amazing husband Ash, and my sweet baby Theo. I'll be sharing my everyday experiences and advice I've gathered along the way. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for reading!

xo,

Melody
