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!

This is what I have learned so far on my very brief journey of having two under two.
We are so happy to announce that our son, Kyler Jude was born January 5, 2016 at 8:17 AM. He weighed a healthy...
Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks pregnant, which means we will soon be meeting our little one. We areso excited! These days when I'm not in Christmas mode, I am in full-fledge nesting mode. Therefore, it is time for me to start packing my hospital bag. Here is what I plan to bring...
As a small child, I did not understand the saying, "It's better to give than to receive." I thought that was lunacy! What was better than tearing off the gift wrap, ripping off the ribbons and bows to reveal a shiny new toy inside? As a grown up I have switched positions and take more joy in giving gifts
In this post I am sharing my experience with both Baby Led Weaning and Spoon Feeding.
This past Monday Dylan got his first tooth! I had ordered a Sophie weeks ago, but as it had been on back order, it didn't arrive until today! I decided to give it to him from the "Teething Fairy" (the little sister of the Tooth Fairy).
When I was pregnant, I loved the nesting phase. One of the most fun aspects of that was decorating my baby's nursery!
