Meet Chrishinda

Hi, I’m Chrishinda! I’m so grateful to be a part of the #MomLife series with LittleGuide Detroit. I am a stay at home mom to two tiny humans, 3 and 1. My husband and I met 7 years ago and have been married for the last 6. Most days I enjoy being a homebody, but family time outside of the house is a must. The boys love to go to new places, so I’m always looking up things for them to do. I was raised in metro Detroit and now that I actually live in the city, I can’t wait to see what we’ll discover. On my blog HeyChrishinda, I share protective styles, my favorite things, both motherhood and non motherhood related, and pictures of me & my family.

Favorite Ways To Spend Family Time:

Favorite Places To Go:

• YoYo’s Fun Center
• Splash ‘n’ Blast at Kensington Metropark
• SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets

Favorite Recipes:

• Cheeseburger Quesadillas: Make sure you use enough oil to brown the tortillas!
• Blueberry Eggo Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches: 2 waffles with syrup and an overhard egg in the middle. Make sure you bake the waffles with butter and flip them over after a few minutes.
• One Pot Cajun Pasta: Use Slap Ya Mama’s Cajun Seasoning (A tablespoon packs a slight kick, but if you use ¾ of a tablespoon, that’s the perfect amount of seasoning, especially if you’re not a fan of hot stuff like me. But really, I use this seasoning from my eggs to my turkey burgers…it’s great!)

Your Mom Must Have: A Toddler Urinal 

It helps my 1 year old handle his business on his own and you can get them for as little as $9 on Amazon.

Best Park/Playground: Scarlet’s Playground (Commerce)

It just opened this summer so we haven’t visited yet, but the playground looks AMAZING and we will definitely be taking the boys very soon!
