welcome, i’m krislyn!
back in 2008 I started to blog in order to document life post college. at that time I was moving across the country to be a live – in nanny for a family with five small humans. over the course of twelve years, I ventured in and out of the blogging world recently using instagram as my share platform.
now it is time to come back to blogging because frankly, my instagram posts are reaching the level of “novel” in length.
I am a thirty something newly married gal who grew up in Seattle, Washington graduating from Seattle Pacific University. and through life’s journey I landed myself in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada.
after long seasons of singleness and not so stellar relationships – I was highly encouraged to jump on the app bumble, which is where I snagged my handsome, type a, always prepared husband. along with him came two kiddos whom I now call my bonus kids. we are learning daily ways to navigate this blended family life.
few things you should know. i am an enneagram 2w3 (that wing is debatable with a 1) — i am all about a good checklist and make my bed every day. i consider myself an extrovert however i am refreshed spending time at home. i talk loud and laugh even louder. i love worship music however i can sing most lyrics to any 00’s R&B song. i may love to write words but spelling is not my strong suit. and if I am asked to share a fun fact in group settings this is my go to response; i was a contestant on ellen’s game of games!
in this corner of the internet you will hear me share all things blended family (as I learn, you can learn or probably teach me), what it is like to be a bonus mom to a kiddos with special needs, fitness + health (taking care of my body, soul and mind is priority), to sharing encouragement to ladies whom are in a season of singleness, and maybe a recipe or two for cookies.
basically – bonus life and all things in between.
lastly, my hope is that this space would leave you with encouragement, fill you will a bit of joy, and give you a peek on how I am navigating life when it looks way different than expected.
