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!

DIY Barn Board Headboard

DIY Barn Board Headboard

THE MOM JUNGLE
Home, DIY

I love being married to a handy man!  This past Christmas he made me this rustic, shabby-chic barn board headboard.  I wish I had photos of the process, but I think it's self-explanatory.  The one thing that may distinguish this from other barn board headboards is that instead of adhering the boards to the wall, my husband, Justin built a supporting frame.  This allows the headboard to be moved easily and doesn't damage the wall.

MATERIALS:

  • Barn board x 4 (these are real barn boards)

  • 2x4 boards for supporting frame

  • Screws

  • Glue

  • Matte Stain

COST: $60
