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. Ultimately my goal is to leave it as a legacy to my children and possibly anyone else who wishes to follow my journey. This little corner of the web documents 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.
