In many ways, we grow up being told to stay small. Give way to others, don’t be too loud, make do with what you have, don’t take up too much space. While I agree that we have to learn how to play nice with others and share public space, we…

Well, I went ahead and did it. I started a podcast! I’ve been a heavy Podcast listener for a few years now, and I fell in love with the medium entirely after listening to S Town, a true crime narrative that really moved me in a way that I was…

Here’s the thing, I don’t really know how to parent. I mean, does anybody really? I know what things I want to teach – kindness, compassion, grit, love, humor- but do I know for sure how? It’s especially hard on the days when I am or have NONE of those things; days…

There’s nothing quite like a conversation with a small child that will make you question all of your life decisions thus far. There we were, happily driving to my parents’ house, my son sitting beside my baby girl who was loudly cooing in her carseat. The sun shone through the…

“Mommy, did you know that there are many ways to die?” I pulled my son’s uniform over his head, trying not to show that I was taken aback by this out-of-the-blue statement. We were getting ready for school and he was fresh from the shower, lathered with lotion, his damp…

Imagine you’re on a bike. This bike has the worst seat, the type that just digs into your pelvis in the most special way it can. Now take this bike on a two-hour ride on a rocky mountainside, and you’ll have an idea of how Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) feels…
Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos.
