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. Ultimately my goal is to leave it as a legacy to my children and possibly anyone else who wishes to follow my journey. This little corner of the web documents 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!

Tomorrow where we live, it’s a holiday called “Family Day,” so we thought this would be the perfect moment to share that this #partyoffour is about to become a #partyoffive mid-August this year! 👶🏼🍼🙏🏻
...as clear as day I heard: They are not interrupting you. Your to-do list is interrupting them.
How is it that our youngest is already ONE? On January 5, 2017 at 8:17 AM, Kyler Jude officially has spent a full year in the outside world. Our little man is sweet, silly, easy going and the perfect addition to our family.
"... she was described as godly, gracious, gentle, generous and the glue that kept her family together."

As we launch into September, kids are back to school, yellow buses occupy our streets and we all are finding our rhythm as we’re back to the grind. Even though I am not returning to the classroom, I utilize this transitional season as a time of reflection and catalyst for change. As much as I love easy, breezy and carefree summer days, I crave routine....
