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!

THE MOM JUNGLE
Celebrate

Last Saturday, we had a belated birthday celebration with friends for Dylan. He loves space so that was our theme complete with space balloons, an epic cake made by Kandy Cakes here in Stratford and galaxy games [examples: “Moon Walk” with star-shaped glow sticks and pin-the-astronaut on the moon]. In lieu of loot bags, we made all the party goers their very own DIY jetpacks which they decorated with stickers and markers. It was chaotic, fun and childhood simplicity at its best. Seeing Dylan beam made all those late nights with glue gun burns, inhaling and being doused in more silver spray paint than the Wizard of Oz’s Tin Man and researching all things outer-space was worth it. He deserved a party out of this world and I am grateful he was able to have it!

We were too busy to take many photos, but here are a few from Dylan’s special day! We love you Dylan. 🚀💫👽👨🏻‍🚀
