Hi! I’m Cristina

This blog started out in June 2011, as a way to keep my family and friends updated on my pregnancy (and then my life as a new mom). Over the past few years, it has gone in a million other directions.

And now? It's just me. A little of this, a little of that - a mix of things I love and things I don't, with a healthy dash of dreaming. Don't worry, there will still be plenty of love for that preschooler on here...

Quick! Somebody send passes! I'm running out of Disney content, which means it's been much too long since my last visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm hard at work planning our next family trip, which btw is a mere 132 days away. But considering I haven't been since February, I'm missing it something fierce!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Disney lovers, any tips on how to fill the void? The Disney Store in Times Square can only do so much...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #disney #waltdisneyworld #wdwbestdayever #disneylove #nowmorethanever #disneyaddict #dreambig #CFBxDisney

I tell you what. This midyear slump is for the birds! Anyone else struggling? 😴 • I didn’t quite make it to stickers for the end of last week, but my favorite (the time-lapse, duh) got done. It’s important to celebrate the small wins! • I’m hoping for a slightly calmer week this week, but considering today alone, I have a dentist appointment, therapy (yeah, self-care!), and David’s going to a baseball game... well, this planner is keeping me sane. • What do you have going on this week? Any other midyear struggle bus riders? We can do this! • • • • • #encouragement #planner #plannergirl #plannernerd #plannercommunity #handlettering #workinprogess #erincondren #eclp #newweeknewspread #happymonday #CFBplanner

If I'm being completely honest, I generally don't love cruises. BUT if I'm being even more honest, you will be hard-pressed to find an easier vacation. Not having to think too hard about food or entertainment made cruising an easy choice for our most recent Ladies Weekend.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🛳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All the more special were Mexican sunsets like this with two of my best girls, dressed in beachy favorites with fruity drinks in hand!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🛳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever been on a cruise? Which lines? Any stand outs?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vacation #ladiesweekend #sunset #carnival #choosefun

Every year, Miles's school has this event called the Invention Convention -- where kids make boards detailing a significant invention and its impact on society. They get bonus points if they dress up as the inventor of their choice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🛩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, he was supposed to look like one of the Wright Brothers, he looks more like a little gangster. I'm not mad about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #momlife #lovehim #thiskid #blogger #instakids #kidsofinstagram #boymom

Let’s keep the party going! Oh, not everyone considers planning a party? Odd. 🗓 It’s only my second video, and I feel like I need to work on the angle and possibly add music, but I’m still loving the time-lapse. If you need me, I’ll be over here watching on repeat as my eyes glaze... • • • • • • #planner #plannergirl #plannernerd #plannercommunity #handlettering #workinprogess #erincondren #eclp #midweekspread #CFBplanner

A few weeks ago, my husband suggested we go to @pipsisland for Father's Day, and I had no idea what he was talking about. ☀️ Then, when I went to see Aladdin, this popped up on the screen, and I knew we had made the right decision in purchasing tickets. ☀️ Well, ladies and gents, our adventure has come and gone... and. It. Was. Good. Miles has already asked us several times if we can go again. And yes, we got him his very own Flambow. If you need me, I'll be at Grumble Plum's bakery!

Every so often, I have to step away from Instagram for no real reason other than to regroup. It's always been hard for me to balance "creating content" and just sharing my life, and whenever it gets to me, there's nothing like a few days (or weeks...) away.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At any rate, hi! I'm Cristina. Thanks for stopping by. This is me helping on the field for NYU's Commencement Preshow - it's one of my favorite days of the year! The weather was weird so I'm wearing a hoodie over my LBD, and I definitely came straight to Yankee Stadium after working overnight on another shoot... BUT STILL!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I'm not working, I've got a pretty great husband of almost 12 years, and an equally rad 7yo boy. Don't even get me started on my dog...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to @asbronaut for the photo!

Sometimes I see time-lapse lettering or art videos, and it’s like I’m hypnotized. So, I tried a thing. And it’s true! Hope you enjoy being hypnotized as much as I do! • I love seeing my planner come to life each week. From pencil to bright pens to stickers, it makes planning that much more fun. • Do you like planning as much as I do? If not, do you do anything to make it more fun? • • • • • #planner #plannergirl #plannernerd #plannercommunity #handlettering #workinprogess #erincondren #eclp #newweeknewspread #happymonday #CFBplanner
