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 One Where We Have A 10 Year-Old: 10 Things I Love About You

THE MOM JUNGLE

Tomorrow when I wake up my beautiful baby boy is 10. 10 years + 9 months in my womb + a couple years of prayers and tear-streaked pillows waiting for our miracle, our amazing #mrdylanarcher.

You’re my dream boy.

10 Things I Love About You

  1. I love your laugh. You’ve had the best belly laugh since the start and it’s infectious!

  2. I love your baby blue eyes. They are mesmerizing.

  3. I love how you are pursuing writing, authoring and illustrating.

  4. I love how you are a genuinely loyal friend.

  5. I love how you ask for hugs multiple times a day. I still love that we have the odd sleepover.

  6. I love our conversations whether it’s about the big things or little things.

  7. Following up on that, I love how you ask inquisitive questions and your curious nature.

  8. I love how you care for others. Sometimes you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders in a way you aren’t meant to and it will be process to learn to let that go. However; you have a heart of gold and my prayer is that you will love yourself the way you love those around you.

  9. I love how intentional and loving you are with our dog, Maple. Am I jealous that she is the only one on the receiving end of your kisses? Absolutely! But do I adore you relationship with your puppy and that she sleeps with you at night? Also, absolutely!

  10. I love that you’re my firstborn. My journey to you wasn’t a direct line, but you were worth the wait and I always say, “you and I have gotten to spend the most time together.'“ I love that about our relationship. And I love you always, Mom.
