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!

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!
