About Me

I’m Chrystal, wife to Brian, and mommy to our two beautiful girls Zoë, born in May 2008 (our honeymoon baby!), and Kaylee, born February 14, 2010 (in Uruguay). In a former life, I was in management at a Fortune 20 healthcare company in Marketing Communications. Now, I’m a freelance writer and marketing consultant–which allows me to spend more time with my family and live anywhere in the world. (We currently live in the San Bernardino Mountains.)

When I found out I was pregnant, I set out to research everything baby under the sun. I wanted only the best for my baby girl. I definitely made some mistakes along the way. Some things I thought would be perfect just weren’t. And other things I would’ve never considered fit our family just perfect in the end.

I couldn’t find one location – whether that be a website, book, friend, family member etc. – that gave an overview of everything by someone with similar values as me, so I spent countless hours compiling information before making a decision on anything.

Life would’ve been easier if I had someone that I could connect with, someone with similar ideals and values I could turn to who could impart their motherly wisdom on me.

Don’t get me wrong… I know every baby is different. And what works for me may not work for you. But, that’s why this is a blog. My opinion. My experience. What works for me and my family…

It may or may not work for you. But, I hope to at least give you some things to think about you may not have considered before. Or at least a place to go to for answers to some of your questions. I truly hope you can gain something from reading my insights here.

And, please let me know if you have input or questions! I am always open to new ideas for topics. Please remember, there really is a genuine mom behind this website who is hoping to simplify some things in your complicated Mommy life…

Happy Mothering!
Chrystal
