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!

Class of 2020

Class of 2020

Congratulations are in order for these little graduates! Dylan graduates kindergarten and Kyler has wrapped up pre-school. This yeas has looked nothing like I imagined and I could not have predicted I would be homeschooling, yet these boys have taken everything in stride. Coronavirus has meant no ceremonies. I originally looked online for little caps and gowns, but that would set me back over $50. If this were post-secondary, high-school- even elementary school, I would gladly pay this, but as the pre-requisite for passing these early levels is basically not eating glue, we decided on something a little more budget-friendly. Instead of going all '‘pomp and circumstance,” we opted for a simple “ceremony” over lunchtime with DIY grad caps consisting of Bristol board, a stapler and some tape. It set me back a whopping .98 cents and 5 minutes, but these pictures and smiles are priceless! Oh the places you’ll go, you two! Mom and Dad are SO proud of you!

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
— Oh The Places You'll Go, Dr. Seuss
