• Darcie Maranich was a teen mom long before MTV made it the next big thing. In the 18 years that have passed since, she’s gone on to build a life bold and beautiful here in Tucson. A self-described rebel with a lifestyle blog, her posts at Such The Spot reflect on the ups and downs of life as a mother to four, including one daughter who rocks three 21st chromosomes (or has Down syndrome, in layman’s terms). Her passions for handcrafted food, inspired travel and back-to-basics living make her someone to keep an eye on. She’s @medarcie on Twitter.
