Hi, I'm Kristen.

I'm an author and keeper of wild words And I’m a mom of 5, and a have been the wife of my decidedly handsome scientist turned entrepreneur for over 20 years. Most days my life is pretty ordinary. If you stopped by you'd likely find me attempting to cook up something new, putting off the cleaning to browse design blogs instead, or in mom mode with four of my hilarious children still at home, while texting with my college girl all day long. I believe women have an incredible capacity as cultivators of beauty, that there is something sacred in lighting candles and inviting others to sit at my table, and in making room for our stories and learning how to share them. I’m also a keeper of soft spaces. The ones where those I love land, and where I hope you can land too. My heart here is to give you a place to pause. I'm especially hopeful that for women who feel stretched thin like me, because in that tension we can learn to live expectant for the music and melody of love that God is singing over of each one of us.
