About

Hi! I’m Christine — just your average, busy working mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend trying to figure it all. the. F. out.

My mission is to share experiences (the good, the bad, the ugly, and the funny), knowledge, and everything in between pertaining to my favorite F-word(s)— Fashion 👠, Face 😘, Family 👨‍👩‍👧, Food 🍕, Fitness 💪🏽, Friends 👯, Fun ✨ — in order to inspire and motivate others to live life to the fullest, promote self care, and know that you are not alone when struggle. gets. real.

If you’ve continued reading, then 🎉 YAY 🎉! Let’s get to know a little more about me so I’m not just some random chick you met one time at the grocery store who you instantly became friends with, but didn’t bother to get her number so you might not ever see or talk to her again (which by the way you won’t have to worry about because you have read this far and already found me and totes can keep in contact with me, duh!). Anyways, if you haven’t figured out by now just by the way I’m typing this I’m def a millennial. I was born in Pittsburgh and raised in a very small town in Ohio. I have very loving, hard working parents (seriously, they are the best! ask anyone who knows them!). I have 3 siblings: 2 sisters and 1 brother– all of which are much older than me (haha. seriously though my oldest sister is 18 years older than me). I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration focused on International Business and Textiles and Clothing. I started my career in retail, had a stint at a tech agency, and am now at an organic and natural skincare company. I’m happily married, have an almost 18 month old daughter, a yorkie named Coco Chanel, and a cat we call Miss Kitty. I’m super moody (my family can vouch for that haha), I’m very outgoing, have high energy most days, especially when I get around friends or family I haven’t seen in a while. I talk A LOT. I used to be a spin instructor as my side hustle, then I got pregnant and haven’t been back since 😳, BUT I do ride my Peloton that I got for Christmas (thank you, husband!) and run, but I still struggle with weight because I also LOVE FOOD 🙌🏽, oh, and wine 🍷! I love to spend time with my family and experience new things/places with them. I love hosting parties, dressing up and buying things… all of the things… clothes, shoes, purses, COFFEE, toys for my daughter, and this thing I saw once on Instagram that I just had to have — thank you, Amazon for 1-day prime shipping! The list goes on….

Learn more about me through this blog and my posts on Instagram. You can follow me @christineandthefword.

Thanks for visiting!

Always with LOVE 💕 (and a little sparkle ✨),
Christine
