Hi! My name is Trista! I’m a wife and a mama of three trying to figure out how to keep my family happy and healthy. I live in the midwest with my husband Jason, and our babies, Blaire, Ben and Sloane.

I started this blog, in August of 2014, as a way to share our lives with our friends and family, since most of them don’t live near us. It has slowly morphed into a way to share my life as a (not-so) new mama. Whether it’s the things we find to ease teething pain, our favorite toys, easy recipes or just how we spent our weekend — I document it all. This blog has slowly morphed into a place where I can reach other modern mamas who don’t necessarily have it all together, but who love their messy, beautiful lives just the same.

I love to look back at my blog and watch my family grow and relive all of the fun we have together! When I became a parent, I realized how precious every moment I spend with my child truly is. It’s important to me to document our adventures. THANK YOU to everyone who follows along on our crazy life through happily trista. You make writing this blog so much fun!
