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!

Time For School

Time For School

Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.

I blinked and here we are. Our oldest son, Dylan started school last week! At first he was very nervous and there were lots of tears [both from Mommy and Dylan 🙈]. Even after only five days, the tears are gone and he is starting to enjoy it now that he understands what it’s all about. Dylan is gobbling up his lunch, he’s talking about new friendships and is even invited to a classmate’s birthday party.

We are so proud of our big, brave boy. And while my heart aches for Dylan at times when he is in school [t-minus 1.5 hours until the bus drops him off], I am loving quality time with Kyler in the mornings and snuggles with Noelle in the afternoon when he naps.

Junior Kindergarten has never looked so cool! 👇
