Hi, I’m Chelsea.
I lost myself when I became a mom but I've been slowing (re)discovering myself. Sound familiar? Welcome.
Yes, I’m a stay at home mom, but I’m also a reader, traveler, outfit-styler, baker, and so much more. I like to try new coffee shops and explore the outdoors. I love being a mom and it takes up the majority of my time but it’s only one piece of who I am.
A few years ago when I became a stay at home mom, it was all-consuming. It became my entire identity. I completely lost myself and didn’t know who I was outside of “Mom”.
That’s when I realized I was craving a creative outlet—a place to explore all the parts of my identity I had forgotten as well as the parts I haven’t yet discovered.
So, here we are. This is a space to share everything that inspires me—both inside and outside of motherhood.
I’ll be sharing the things I genuinely love: book recommendations, travel itineraries, healthy-ish recipes, fun family activities, easy outfit inspiration, tasty coffee shops, and whatever else I’m excited about along the way.
II’ll also be sharing my journey through motherhood: the good, the bad and the ugly.
I aim to post at least once a week. While I’m not entirely sure what this space will become, I’m happy to be here and I hope you’ll join me by subscribing.
And if you’re comfortable, please introduce yourself in the comments! I’d truly love to hear from you.

Very well then I contradict myself,
