About Me

Hi, I’m Crista! I currently reside in Denver, Colorado.  In November 2023 I welcomed my first child to this world.  

I have to preface this that prior to welcoming baby girl, I knew very few people with kiddos.  Some of this may seem obvious to you, but genuinely I was out of my depths.  I personally wish there was a blog like this one that I had stumbled upon, a genuinely candid outlet explaining what they did ‘wrong’, would have done differently, would have kept the same, learnings, etc.  

I created Just James as a resource of what I wish I had during pregnancy and motherhood! You’ll find content on navigating motherhood, balancing living an intentional, mindful lifestyle, working a corporate job, travel, and beyond.  I hope this outlet helps some other first time mamas out there! Follow along for our wild  life.

Hey there, I’m Crista

Currently residing in Denver, Colorado with my husband, daughter, and Saint Bernard, I’m obsessed with my family.  Learning to be a mom has been the greatest accomplishment and challenge I’ve faced.  I work a corporate job by day, and spend the rest of my time strength training, practicing yoga, trying new restaurants, making my life as clean / non-toxic as possible, and likely enjoying a margarita.

One day, I hope to visit
