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!

Snapshot of Summer ‘22

Snapshot of Summer ‘22

This summer was one for the books. We travelled to Québec, trekked to the cottage, had adventures at home and celebrated birthdays. I babysat my friend’s three children weekly which turned into a perfect play date scenario for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the slow-paced living that comes with the season. It was also a season of change with Justin a new job- similar position, but local which is a game-changer for our family. Lastly, there was also heartache with the passing of a lovely hometown friend, Heidi. She was a young wife and mother of four, succumbing to an illness that she battled, braved and lived with so courageously. Heidi was so fittingly described as “… beautiful in all ways. Always.”

With school starting tomorrow for the boys and later in the week Noelle, here is a snapshot of our summer.
