Well, folks, this whole blog thing is not happening right now.  It is always a little nagging thought in the back of my head...."You should update the blog!!!"'  But somehow, there just isn't enough time in the day and maybe a lack of motivation.  So...until further notice, this page will remain quietly here awaiting a burst of inspiration.  I absolutely expect to pick it back up sometime and really hope you will be back to read it!  In the meantime, catch me on Facebook www.facebook.com/ChristiGast, or my favorite sharing platform www.instagram.com/christigast.  You don't even have to have the app now that they are developing websites for users!!  Or visit my Wildtree website, www.mywildtree.com/cg
Catch y'all on the flippity-flip.  Big Love to all of you!!

Playing Catch Up

I've been so busy enjoying life, getting my Wildtree business up and going, being secretary of the elementary school PTA, room Mom at pre-school and you know, wife/Mama/friend. Lots of hats, lots of fun. Thought I would post a few photos I've taken over the last week or so.

For you, Auntie Lexi


Last week I found an old video of Griffin when he was 4 and posted it to FB. It is just so cute. My sister asked why I didn't have any of Lucy singing and I thought that was a good point. So here you go...for posterity.
