Welcome!
I started documenting my life back in 2013 after having my 2nd baby and longing for something more than just dudes in diapers. I wanted a creative outlet to share the things I loved, places we traveled to or our beautiful everyday moments.

who is chelsea?
a mother, a dreamer, a traveler
Motherhood
Becoming a mother has been my greatest achievement of all time. Whenever asked where do you see yourself in 10 years, I could never give a direct answer except “I’ll have kids and hopefully be traveling a lot!” I’ve had 2 miscarriages, some hard pregnancies and a personally traumatic birth story but would go through each situation over again to be where I am now!
Dreamer
I’m a solid enneagram 7, always dreaming of new business ideas, places to move to or wild adventures to go on. You can find me with a coffee in one hand and a camera in the other. I believe that life should be captured; the hard and absolutely insane!
Traveler
At 16, I went to Germany for a study abroad program and never wanted to come home. The opportunity I saw to see other parts of the world, to travel so easily and experience other cultures so abuntily, it lit a fire in me that couldn’t be put out. We started traveling with the kids when Trace was 8 months old. So far they’ve been to 9 countries, countless cities & states and on more trains, boats and metros than most adults. I’ve made it my mission to share this love with Jerek and our kids and one day we will live in Europe, one day!!!
the story of us
the big three
Some of my proudest moments are when these 3 came earth side, each birth was special, hard and exhilarating all at the same time. They are all such different kids but they fit together perfectly. These 3 have such an amazing bond, no matter the age or interest differences. Tracen born in 2010, Skylor in 2013 and Jude in 2021; our tiny tribe.
pride & joy
high school sweethearts
We met in 7th grade and started dating our senior year of high school. We did the long distance thing in college, graduated, broke up, got back together, had the boys and then got married on the beach in Mexico in 2016. Our little missing puzzle piece, Jude, came in 2021 and I’ve never felt more complete with my tribe than I do now!
love story
my motto
