Hello reader, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Kierstyn and I am the creator of Bright & Cheerful Motherhood.
This post is going to be a fun and quick (and quirky) way to get to know me a little better. If you'd like to learn a little more about this blog, you should check out my About page, or even hop over to my very first blog post.
Let's start with the game "Three Truths + One Lie"
At one point in my life, my family owned over 15 pets.
My first time on an airplane was when I was 23 years old.
My husband and I met in grade school.
I go through about one Burt's Bees lip balm every 3 weeks.
Do you think you know which one is the lie?
I'll give you a second...
"My husband and I met in grade school." We actually met on the first day of class our sophomore year of college. If you're a romantic, you can read our love story here...
Did you get it right? Comment below!
That was fun! But now I'd like to challenge myself by telling my whole life story in 5 sentences or less. Are you ready for this? Let's go!
In August of 1992, my mom and dad eagerly awaited the birth of their first born child, me, a squirrelly, stubborn, little girl, whom they named "Kierstyn" on the spot in the hospital because everyone told them they were going to have a boy, and they definitely weren't prepared with girl names (hence the unique spelling and the decades of mispronunciations to follow).
I was born and raised in way-to-sunny Southern California with year-round trips to the beach, Disneyland annual passes, and a backyard big enough to fuel my imagination and house well over a dozen pets in over two decades.
I met my childhood best friend on the school playground when I was only eight years old, and she stood by my side 15 years later as I married my lifetime best friend (my oh-so-handsome husband); and I stood by her side two months later as she married her high school sweetheart.
Although I got my degree in elementary education, I took the path my heart originally fell for in my younger years and pursued a career in graphics and digital marketing before settling into my most beloved career yet: a stay-at-home mom to my one-week-early, emergency c-section, best birthday present ever, fellow Disney-obsessed, little boy.
A month before my 28th birthday, I realized a long-desired dream of mine to create a blog that would provide resources and products for other women and to build a community to celebrate the joy of motherhood together; and what a beautiful, fun, and exciting thing it has turned into, too!
Whew! Now you know a pretty concise summary of my life. Comment below if we have anything in common!
