I'm Kristin.  I am a wife, designer, Christian and for now a SAHM.  My husband and I are parents to three kids- Dylan Archer, Kyler Jude and Noelle Rose. Despite the name, this isn’t a mommy blog and you won’t find sponsored content here. My target audience is actually my children when they grow up if they wish to reflect on their childhood so everything I share has them at the forefront of my mind and secondly those who wish to follow along my journey. I created this space to document my family's adventures and lessons I've learned along the way.  The Mom Jungle is a modern interpretation of both the family newsletter and scrapbook.  

I call this The Mom Jungle because motherhood is fun and messy, filled with laughter and sometimes heartache… it truly is a jungle out there!

Hello everyone!  I realize it’s been a long time since I have posted on TMJ.  There have been a couple of big events for my family that explain the absence.

The first announcement is that we bought a home!  The whole process enfolded rather quickly as we’ve relocated to another city due to my husband’s work, about 45 minutes from where we used to live.  It's a great opportunity for Justin so we are thrilled.  We were house hunting at this point anyways, so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.  We’ve bought a mid-century home with mature trees and a nice sized yard.  Everything is live-in ready, however my husband and I are designers at heart and can’t wait to make it truly ours.  I look forward to sharing our home renovation journey in the coming months and years.  It’s a work in progress... but aren't we all? ;)

The second announcement is: WE ARE PREGNANT!  We are so excited to give Dylan a little sibling due early next year!   More than the move, this was the real reason I have been MIA.  Like last time, morning sickness has hit.  Hard.  This precious little one is so worth it though- every bout of sickness, heartburn episode, and stretch mark (thankfully none so far)!  TMJ will also feature pregnancy related posts in the future so keep an eye out for those if you’re interested.

Lastly, here are a couple of baby bump shots.

Baby Erb: We haven't been as good at taking pics with your big brother underfoot, but you are SO loved little peanut! xox
