I am a 32-year old Canuck, Mama to Nolan, lover of snowboarding and toques, and bumbling juggler of Alpha Ghetti, executive proposals, and life balance.My life before Nolan was an adrenaline-fueled triage of extreme sports,international travelling, and corporate ladder climbing. My unexpected pregnancy changed my life in ways I could never have imagined, and, though it would have seemed impossible to Old Kristin, I wouldn't change my new Universe for anything. I used to keep a personal blog until things got kind of weird (this is the Internet, you know) so now my primary outlet is ParentDish. I know. You're so welcome.
I'm a freelance writer, blog consultant, advertising executive, maker of many mistakes -- redeemed hopefully by an all-encompassing thirst to keep learning and doggedly trying until I get it right. I have a long way to go in trying to master this Motherhood thing, but I'm a hungry pupil. And Nolan's a forgiving student. Thank Pete.
I have an awesome group of globe-trotting, glamorous friends whose lifestyle I sometimes envy, until I creep into my son's room in the middle of the night and get the life force knocked out of me by his sheer beauty. He makes everything worth it.
