Hi, I’m Christina!

A Chicago-based mother, wife, and professional trying to balance my love of family, adventure, and cozy nights at home. My love of  beauty, simplicity, and all things old fashioned are what tie everything together.  Whether I’m running after my baby boy Will, at home with a cup of tea, or exploring a new destination, I always keep an eye out for moments of beauty and joy. This is what I share here on My Petite Joys and I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

My Philosophy 

Throughout every day life I strive to take time and savor small moments of beauty by

• watching my little boy play.
• sipping hot tea from a pretty teacup.
• stopping to enjoy the sight of the flowers and trees on my walk home.
• lighting some candles and taking a cozy bath.
• planning a local weekend getaway.

Enjoy and curate your life. Make it as beautiful as possible because, if you don’t design your life, someone else will.

Some Things About Me 

I’m a lover of laughing, babies, books, photography, history, hiking, piano, tea, sweaters, dancing, making lists, kissing, quote collecting, and finding happiness.
