Continue reading →: Nautical Birthday Bash!I feel like such a grown up with the passing of this milestone- planning and executing my son’s first birthday party! It was tiring, it was so much fun, it was full of food, love, awesome presents and noisy kids and hugs and kisses too. Just the way it should…

Continue reading →: Year One: There Was A Lot of PoopOh yeah, poop was everywhere alright. Especially the first couple of months when he would poop 4-5 times a day. And when he was feeling extra special, up to 8 times a day. I got poop on my thighs, under my nails, on my belly, on my arms, all over…

If there was one thing I wish I knew now, it’s how to balance how much of yourself to give. The problem (okay, one of many) with being such an intense person is I don’t know how to ration myself sometimes. And so when I am given a role or…

So, last night was a rough night. My little guy has been sleeping better lately, especially during naps. But we still have some nights in a row where he will wake up at a God forsaken hour and decide he wants to play for a couple more hours. To a…

Wearing your baby is amazing and I wish I had done it earlier in Elon’s very young life. I would have been able to accomplish more, and it probably would’ve boosted my confidence in my Mom Skills because i’d be more in tune with his every beat. I started wearing…

My body will never be the same again. My hips are wider, my thighs are looser, my triceps are jelly and my belly jiggles. I was never waif thin, but before Elon came along I was a fit pole fitness instructor. And even before that, I tried every sport i could…

It’s like I can see my son changing before my very eyes. Yesterday, at a sweet 20 weeks old, he started using his feet to launch himself forward during tummy time! Very soon he’s gonna figure out how to crawl and I’ll never be able to let him out of…

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I tell ya, seeing your baby all red, dry, itchy with a few wet and weepy rashes can be really tough to take. It’s also especially hard because I’m not used to such sensitivity! I grew up rolling around in dirt and…

Continue reading →: The Toughest Nights of My Life
I am not a stranger to heartbreak. I have, admittedly, made some very poor decisions in my life – from choosing the wrong friends to trust, losing a home, loving a boy who i’m pretty sure was evil personified. But I have to say, nothing compares to a newborn’s very…

Continue reading →: Where’s My Maternal Instinct?
A few nights ago, I had a mini-breakdown during bedtime. As my husband, Niki, and I prepared for bed, I tearfully confessed that I felt my Motherhood Knowledge was so inadequate, and despite my voracious reading of all kinds of parenting articles I was still ill-equipped. I asked Niki why…
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. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
