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!

We now have a FOUR year-old!  Normally, I love party planning and designing an event with a cohesive theme and menu.. this year is a bit of an anomaly.  In addition to the struggles of pregnancy, my parents are selling their house, we were sick, and my father-in-law has a two week work-stint in Mexico.  Therefore, we are doing some small mini gatherings [we've had one low-key celebration with my parents] and will have a little shin-dig with my in-laws and another outing with Dylan's best friend.  I figure, next year we will be in full-fledged friend birthday party-mode, so we'll enjoy this chill birthday with our happy, l̶i̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ dude.  Justin and I gave him Lego Junior, a train set, shoes and a Peppa Pig giant colouring book.  He's thrilled with his presents and we are thrilled with the joy he has brought us!  Thank you for making me a mama #mrdylanarcher!
