Hey there, friend! I’m Crystal.

about me

Hi there! I’m Crystal, a Midwesterner-recently-turned-Texan and Ennegram 7 (Where are my other Enthusiasts?!)   I am blessed to be a mom to 4, and a wife to 1; but also a chef, a housekeeper, a doctor, mediator, a blogger, photographer, therapist, trauma healer, motivational speaker, and a wanna-be comedian.  I have a full degree in nothing, but certified in pretty much everything. One of my most toxic, but also maybe one of my best, traits comes from an old saying: If they can do it, why can’t I? On these pages you will find my true personality, both the good and bad parts, while I make our house a home we love and work to regain health, vibrancy, and self-discipline.

Welcome, friend!

I’M CRYSTAL.

your photographer, hype-woman, cat-lover and best friend.

My purpose is to use this platform as inspiration in a real, personable, and relatable way, for all people who are looking for change in their lives; to show we are capable of big things in any area of life, even without the immediate knowledge needed. Let’s learn together as we go.

If you can dance and be free and not be embarrassed, you can rule the world.
