Kristin

I am Kristin, a blogger, wife and mom. My five kids make their own choices based on their parents' best efforts to instruct them, their desire to please or not please their parents, and their individual personalities. We are a real family with real life problems and successes. To battle distractions we participate in wholesome family activities, build faith in Jesus Christ, and serve others. We are open to suggestions and encouragement so we are glad you are our friend.
