My name is Christina and I’m from New Jersey! I’m a 34 year-old married Mama of 2 beautiful little boys. Before I was a stay-at-home-mom, I was a dancer and dance instructor. I began dancing at a young age and danced through college. I majored in dance and worked special events for the NBA and freelanced for entertainment gigs. I taught dance to children, ages 2-18 years old, for 15 years before stopping to become a full time stay-at-home-mom.
I started dating my husband, Anthony, in December of 2009. He asked me to marry him in December 2013 and we got married, privately, in July 2014. The following May, we had a giant wedding party with all of our friends and family. I became a mother to a gorgeous red headed boy named Anthony in April 2016. Then, Patrick, my handsome blonde haired, blue eyed little guy came into the world in September 2017. These little men are my pride and joy, the lights of my life, my reasons for everything… and the pains in my ass. (And I say that in the most loving motherly way… c’mon moms, you know what I mean)
Growing up the extent of my traveling was summers spent in Pennsylvania and vacations to visit family in Virginia and Florida. Our family lives in the Orlando area and of course, we would go to Disney World while we were there. And I kind of remember a “camping” trip to Vermont when I was around 11 or 12. After graduating high school my uncle who lives in Oregon got married and we went out for his wedding. During college I traveled to Cozumel, Key West and Cancun. In 2006 I was asked to travel to China & Korea to perform for the USA Men’s basketball team. After meeting my husband, we vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, Jamaica and Dominican Republic. We honeymooned in Europe for 3 weeks, visiting Paris, London, Barcelona, Athens, Mykonos, Capri, Rome, San Gimignano, Florence, and Cinque Terre. We went back to Italy in 2017 and France in 2018 – we also visited Geneva, Switzerland.
I got pregnant on our honeymoon, had my Anthony and began traveling with him at 3.5 months old. I have traveled while pregnant and with a toddler and infant. Patrick took his first plane ride at 4 months old.
In my spare time I love to drink Pinot Noir, Rosé and craft beer. My husband says I love to watch “horrible television”. Some of my favorite shows are The Bachelor Franchise, Grey’s Anatomy, A Million Little Things, How To Get Away With Murder, All NCIS shows, & Big Brother.
My focus for this blog will be Children, traveling with & without children and reviews on my current TV shows. Travel posts will contain: How we plan, what we pack, how we organize, how to handle situations with children and so on. But also, I will post content related to being a Mama. Be it the day/week I’m having, or something one of my kids is going through, all the funny, sad, emotional, crazy stuff in my life. Products we like to use, baby & breastfeeding talk, sleep training, foods…
Any questions can be emailed to my email address, I will email you back or I’ll write a post about them!
Thanks for stopping by!
