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!

A September To Remember

A September To Remember

Phew! September is always a busy month with everyone going back to school, including me! We’ve traded in the laidback days of summer in exchange for early mornings, structure and routine. This year is a whole other level with extra activities; drum, guitar and piano lessons and gymnastics, the annual fall fair, a family reunion and birthdays (September is a popular month)… etc. I try to appreciate all seasons because why waste mental energy bemoaning the weather however; early autumn is truly my favourite! The leaves are starting to turn to an analogous colour harmony of reds to yellow , mornings are light sweater weather and I’m craving all things hygge. Today is a cozy “family day”Saturday and I am about to start on a loaf of fresh bread with chilli. Bring on autumn. 🍂🥧🍁

By all these lovely and tokens, September days are here. With summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.
