Hi! My name is Kirsten and I’m the Not So Crunchy Mom. I’m in my late 30s and am the mom to a 2 year old. When I had my son I had dreams of baby wearing, elimination communication, breastfeeding, and all organic food. I was going to be a crunchy mom.

Those dreams flew out the window right after my son was born. Recovering from a c-section, with my hormones dropping, postpartum depression and anxiety hit. I was in survival mode. I had to compromise to find balance and make it through to the other side. Now,  two years later, I am becoming the mom I thought I would always be. I’m just a little but crunchy.

I hope to share my story and encourage other moms and parents whose dreams don’t match reality. Along the way, I’ll post about my other favorite topics- minimalism, veganism, fitness, and travel. Thanks for joining me!
