Kristin is a busy, working mum who, alongside her wonderful husband, is raising two beautiful daughters, both under 4. In her spare time, she is a part-time Masters student and College instructor who loves to soak up new knowledge and chat about education, travel and her guilty pleasure, reality TV. She desperately misses having time to read books for pleasure, as reading articles for her thesis seems to take precedence these days! Kristin's greatest happiness comes from time spent with her family and watching her girls develop into sweet young ladies. Blogging is not only a cathartic activity for Kristin, it's her method of creating baby books for her children, sharing stories about their childhood and remembering important milestones. A proud Canadian, Kristin is very excited to be sharing her writing here at skinnymom.com
