My name is Cristal and I am so glad that you stopped by to take a peek into my beautiful chaotic life.
I am a first time mom to a wild child named Brodie. He has a smile that will melt your heart, a personality that is too big for his tiny little body and is the missing piece that I never knew I needed in my life.
I am currently living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my amazingly supportive husband, where we both work full time, Brodie and our three furbabies (our first children)…. as you can probably imagine – our life is pretty chaotic, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Mamahood has been the hardest journey that I have set out on to date. As if motherhood isn’t hard enough in normal times, throw in becoming a new mom amidst a global pandemic and it just puts the icing on the cake!
“In all honesty, I didn’t expect new motherhood to be so excruciatingly isolating.”
I read all the mom blogs and baby books and talked to my doctor about what to expect when becoming a new mom, but I feel like so much was left out.
I decided to put myself out there and embrace the uncomfortable by starting this blog as a place to share the shit that no one wants to talk about – the real and raw side of motherhood.
If my story and experiences can help and inspire even one of you mamas out there…. I have done my job.
