You are knees deep into the journey of a lifetime ...


Motherhood.



Do you ever wish you could just freeze time and take a second to soak it all in? Life goes on but oh, how you wish you could stare at those tiny hands and feet forever.



Get Ready To Time Travel, Mama

My Name is Christiana but I go by Christal :)


My whole life I was terrified of giving birth, and being a mom was just something I would do "someday". Even after getting married, having kids was something that I thought was 5+ years down the road, but the Lord had other plans.


The whole journey into parenthood is the most wildly beautiful ride. From the pregnancy that feels like it lasts forever, to facing my fear of giving birth ( which also felt like it lasted forever...), finally holding that sweet baby in my arms, and then realizing that I am now responsible for that sweet ( crying) baby 24/7.... it all is such a rush of emotions, good and bad, and when I think back to it all, I feel an overwhelming sentiment that I've never felt before. That feeling triumphs over all the other ones felt in the first few months of parenthood, but often isn't felt until those moments are gone.


That sentiment is why I do what I do.


I want to capture that sentiment for you to revisit in those quiet thankful moments through life when you're finally able to get away from the chaos and remember your "why" behind it all. I want to help you travel back in time.


I'm proud of myself for facing every fear I had about parenthood and coming out of it stronger. And I'm here to cheer you on as you do the same.
