About Me

Hi Babes! I’m Kirstin Czernek, welcome to my little creative space where I share about all things health, mommy, and living a balanced life. I own a fitness studio called The Balance Culture and I recently became a mom to two babies through adoption. This is my place to share it all, thanks for visiting! XO

Mia & Aria as a sister unit make my heart want to explode 🖤

If you would have asked me to describe my dream son three years ago I would have described exactly what and who Kai is. He is silly, sweet, snuggly, and love to give hugs and kisses. His love language is physical affection and it’s so easy to fill his little tank. He’s beyond handsome, my baby model with a head full on blonde curls, swoon! Thankful for a God who gives us the desires of our heart and cares about the details. I love every detail of my baby boy 🖤

I used to see the world in 5 colors, now I see it in 20. This is the super power of being a mom of a child with special needs, this is our secret 🖤

There is something so special about raising daughters 🖤

My greatest calling is to be the best me for all the people in this photo, my greatest honor 🖤

On this day a year ago I got the call that Aria could have Down syndrome. I felt a pit in my stomach and had a strong feeling that she did. The next morning I went to the Doctor and was told she had a 1 in 11 chance of having it, again I knew she did. After the appointment I was at the car wash and sobbed in the bathroom for 20 minutes, I was wrecked. A week later I would get the call that confirmed what I had thought since that initial call. Aria had Down syndrome. I was scared. I spent the holidays trying to be present but heavily grieving the child I thought I was going to have. My pain was real and hard and oh how I wish I could talk to that Kirstin and tell her what she would be getting in this daughter, the one I was trying to be just ok with having. I would tell her “wipe those tears mama and replace them with gratitude because you are about to be given the greatest gift and Down syndrome will be apart of that. You will look into your baby girl’s almond shaped eyes and not see a diagnosis but instead a new calling of advocacy and it will be one of your greatest honors. The things that are different about her will be the things you treasure and they will continue to confirm to you she is set apart. There will be an intangible about her that you can’t put into words, like she has a greater understanding of the world and how God works than we do. God will teach you more about Himself through this journey than anything else has ever taught you. You will love her so fiercely and her strength will challenge you in ways you couldn’t imagine. So get ready mama because your best days are in front of you”. One year later and I am so much better because of her. Aria, you are a sample of heaven, baby girl 🖤
