About Me
|
Hi! My name is Cristina Gonzalez. I'm married to the best guy, so proud to say that he is my best friend, my love and honestly someone I get very excited to hang out with alone... when we can. We have three beautiful, rambunctious, curious, creative kids with big personalities! We love on them as much as we can, probably to a fault only because I'm really considering starting to talk to them about boundaries. (I mean, bathroom doors must never be closed in this house, anyone can walk in on you at any time in there, several small children always end up in our bed in the morning and our bedtime routine is an elongated 2.5 hour affair which mostly ends with one of the adults in the house falling asleep before the child in question does.)
We're starting our homeschool journey (2020). I'm sure that most other families are using this virtual schooling time due to the Coronavirus as a launchpad to finally start the homeschool journey as well . If you're like me, you've had this idea etched in your heart for a long time, but were too afraid to listen to it. Needless to say, we've taken this quarantine time to finally start and we are all really loving it! We're also very much fond of gardening and had we been brought up on a farm in some lovely farmtown, Danny and I would probably have felt right at home. So we're making due with what God has blessed us with in our home with the small footprint we have in our backyard. We're always up to something back there! |
Our family is also pretty active and always looking for new ways to move and nourish our bodies and trying to get the kids involved in some way or another. You'll see plenty of our attempts on here.
So friends, without further ado, I hope you come along to witness our journey. We hope you feel inspired, motivated to move, or maybe just to laugh and feel a bit of peace & joy in this little corner of the internet world we're carving out.

Meet the fam!
Meet my unit, my world, the people that drive me absolutely bananas and whom I can't wait to snuggle up to. We're not usually this serious. Actually, we're never this serious. These are the faces of "act like you're serious."
If we were a peg doll family on a Montessori shelf we'd be labeled:
Danny - Dad (aka: papa)
Cristi - Mom (aka: mama)
Chiara - Big Sister (aka: Ada)
Mateo - Middle Brother (aka: Teo)
Gaby - Little Brother (aka: Gabs, Baby Gaby, bebe, GabaGaba, The Baby, That Guy... He's probably our biggest personality hence all the names.)
We don't usually dress in white, this was purely a photoshoot thing to commemorate our Baby Gaby having turned 1 only we waited until he was about 19 months old to actually take the photos. If you're the photo organizer of the family, you know that with each new child, you're just a bit less organized as you were with your first! In any case, I call this day a WIN! We got out there, all in white, hair done, weather permitted and we had a big ol' color fight!

We're in the midst of creating all sorts of content to help inspire you, motivate you, and make you laugh. We hope you'll consider joining our fam via our weekly newsletter where you'll get a chance to hear our latest ramblings and know firsthand any new things we're up to.
