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

I keep trying to wrap my mind around how in the sa

I keep trying to wrap my mind around how in the same five minutes I will feel completely overwhelmed, juggling a million things, stressed by the amount of things left to do in the day and completely baffled as to how I’m going to get it all done covered in kids, while simultaneously feeling like I am the most blessed woman on the planet, so excited about each thing, loving every second, and not wanting to trade a single part of it for anything. Just a small snapshot into my mind ☺️ I always land at the latter but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit it is such a wild ride, and that I love it 🙃 🖤

I want to start documenting my kiddos and each of

I want to start documenting my kiddos and each of their stages, each of my kids could not be more different constantly keeping my in my toes 😅, and I want to remember that ☺️

Mia (5)- I am constantly in awe of the little girl she has become. She is 5, but has the oldest soul, her maturity exceeds her and I think that has a lot to do with her time in foster care. I feel like my job lately as her mom, is to remind her to be a kid and lower the bar for her so she can feel free from some of the expectations she has set for herself. She really is my mini me so fostering fun, mistakes, and cheering other people on when she looses 😉 has been top focuses lately. I truly am blown away by her everyday, I wish I could fully share all the ways she’s a miracle but to protect her and her past I just have to keep those things close to my heart, but trust me she is the full work of Jesus🖤

Kai (3)- Kai has surprised me since day one. From his existence (we learned Mia’s mom was pregnant with him while interviewing to adopt her), he is everything I never knew I needed always and continues to challenge me in all the right ways. I can tell he is in a constant quest of figuring himself out and honestly I feel like I’m on that quest with him. He’s emotional (literally loves to feel alllllll the emotions), creative, innovative, and an engineer at heart. He spends everyday asking me how literally everything works and spends the night winding down to kids yoga (his top request), he’s all about slowing down, feeling and experiencing it all, this challenges me and has caused me to slow down and be more intentional like I never have been in my life. He is the kid that I seek God most about parenting, learning how to encourage and redirect in all the best ways for him. His emotions are felt so deeply that I can literally feel his love for me, like I experience it daily and it changes me, I don’t think I can say this about another person in my life. He’s constantly making me better and keeps me seeking Jesus for all things Kai ☺️

Aria (2)- And lastly the biggest wildcard of them all, Ari girl. {continued in comments}

We spent the whole weekend celebrating Aria’s birthday! She turns two in two days and it’s giving me all the feels. Also she’s summer bod ready and I’m here 👏🏼for👏🏼 it 👏🏼🖤

I remember my first World Down syndrome Day. It ended up being about 2 weeks before Aria was born so I was very pregnant and so overwhelmed. I remember eating my lunch and scrolling through Instagram looking at all the kids with Down syndrome from the new accounts I was following and being so overwhelmed. I literally remember thinking, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to celebrate this day like they are and I pictured myself in the future purposely avoiding this day.

So mama’s with a prenatal diagnosis who are terrified, I see you. Those feelings and emotions are so tangible to me because in all reality it wasn’t all that long ago. I can also acknowledge how different my feelings are now. The shift that took place in my heart the second my eyes met Aria’s. I knew it was always her, it was always suppose to be her, we were made for each other.

So a couple of days ago on World Down syndrome Day, I took a couple of minutes to acknowledge how far we’ve come. How much Down syndrome has taught me, how much being the mom of a child with special needs has opened my mind and worldview, how much World Down syndrome Day felt like my version of the Super Bowl, about how much pride I had scrolling through my Instagram seeing all of our friends with Down syndrome in awe that I get to be apart of the something so special that few view get to experience. People with Down syndrome are pure magic and I can’t believe God chose me for Aria 🖤

I had the most amazing opportunity to work with @w
