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!

It's official! We have a three-ager in our house [as of March 5].  It's incredible to think how our lives have changed over these past few years.  Dylan entered this world on a dramatic note and has been making waves ever since!

We opted for a simple birthday party with family for our little superhero.  We stuffed our faces with pizza and cake, played with Dylan's awesome new presents and topped it off with a nice long walk.  Not a bad way to ring in the big "3," eh? 

FUN FACTS ABOUT OUR BIRTHDAY BOY:

  • FAVOURITE TOYS:  Thomas the Train, Curious George, Paw Patrol and Kyler's Cars

  • FAVOURITE FOODS:  Waffles, Grapes, Bacon and "CAAAKE!!!"

  • He pronounces his name "Diyan Ach-aa" [see video below]

  • FAVOURITE PLACES: His grandparents' home, church and the park

  • FAVROUITE BOOK:  "Potty" by Leslie Patricelli and "Count My Kisses Little One" by Ruthie May & Tamsin Ainslie

  • FAVOURITE ACTIVITY: Melissa & Doug Letter Puzzle [although colouring his "Despicable Me" giant colouring pages + Crayola Watercolours deserve an honourable mention]

  • FAVOURITE PAST-TIME:  Facetiming with his grandparents

  • LOVES:  Baking... and stealing the chocolate chips // Baths // Van rides

  • HATES: Puppies [He loves them from a distance, otherwise it's game-over]

Oh, Dylan- we love you!  While you are no longer a baby, you will always be my baby- but it is incredible to watch you grow up to be such a great kid!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
