Hi friend, welcome to Spoonful of Jordan!

Grab a cup and stay a while.

I’m Christa Jordan — wife, mama, writer, travel agent, and coffee snob to name a few of my titles. This blog began with me simply sharing my story on the road to motherhood back in 2013. What started as an online journal to process what was going on in my heart and mind created connections I didn’t know I needed.

Since then I have written two books, contributed to many blogs and podcasts, spoken on panels, and helped plan trips for people who need a touch of magic!

Why the name “Spoonful of Jordan?” I am Disney obsessed, and Mary Poppins is my favorite movie. Sometimes a little goes a long way, so come here for “spoonfuls” of the type of content you’ll find below.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Being a mom is the best and hardest thing I get to do every day. No matter how your motherhood was built, or if you are waiting with hopeful expectation, I’m all for community over comparison (a chapter on motherhood you’ll find in my memoir).

    From our adventures in home education, understanding trauma and the uniquely beautiful relationships in the adoption triad, I process the ramblings of my heart through writing. My hope is you feel seen and heard — and leave more filled up than when you came.

  • I’ve been a part of the adoption and foster care community for over 10 years. I am an adoptive mama (both international and domestic), have experience volunteering in a number of roles in foster care and a variety of non-profits, and hold a Bachelor’s in Social Work.

    In all this, I’ve seen a need for better preparation and education for adoptive and foster parents. From blogs, books, and podcast conversations, I hope you will be equipped and encouraged. Browse the blogs, check out books on Amazon, and find a list of podcasts in my portfolio.

  • Growing up, traveling was part of our family culture — and that’s something I’ve brought into our family as we value experiences over things. Disney in particular has always been my family’s happy place, the place where we get uninterrupted time together and have FUN!
