We Are THAT Family …

you know the ones.

Hi there, world changer. I’m glad you’re here. I hope my words encourage you as a wife and mom and remind you that you’re not alone in your yes to God. It’s okay to be real and a little irreverent and mostly vulnerable in this safe space. Deep down, I think there’s a little bit of that family in all of us.

Meet Kristen

I’m wild about sweet tea and I have a thing for globes and maps. I love color and words and my house has a lot of both. I’m parenting teens and a tween with my husband slash best friend of more than 20 years. I’m the founder of Mercy House and Fair Trade Friday and sometimes I write books. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures, trying new foods, and I’m a big fan of all things fair trade. I share my broken and beautiful story in my memoir, Rhinestone Jesus, and I share how it’s changed the way we parent in Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World. My life is messy and redeemed and I’m grateful for the chance to live it.

I've been contemplating how to write this post for days. There has been a heavy wrestling in my soul in the process. Prepare thy self. Today was a Hallmark-made famous holiday. I have never really cared much about Valentine's Day--really, ask my husband. I didn't care until I started thinking ... Read More

Hey Momma, This Is A Hug From Me To You

I stumbled onto the Goodreads page for one of my parenting books accidentally. There were 100 and something reviews and although I usually make it a habit of not reading them, I couldn't look away. There were a lot of encouraging words there, but one review stuck with me, "The author [that would ... Read More

Go Team (Jesus)!

It was about this time, four years ago, when I was sitting in gridlock traffic, in a car in an alley, in a slum in Kenya when I had the idea. We had just left the artisan group that named themselves Have Hope because they didn't have any and I was desperate to provide them with work that would ... Read More
