& Co.

Welcome to Kris Krumbs & Co. A totally new blog about all things Kristen.

On this blog you'll find my likes, dislikes, what I wear, what the kids wear, what we eat, what we do, where we go, etc etc. This is the perfect place for a busy mom on a budget to come and find ideas for wallet friendly everything. We are a family of 6, well 7 including my sister, living on one income and we do everything on a budget. In this day and age its easy to get sucked into the need for bigger and better everything and I'm here to show you that you really don't need all that to be happy. It's true that it's possible to live on a fairly strict budget and never have to feel like you are depriving yourself or your kids. And, to the outside eye you may not even look like you're cutting back. But that's not to say we don't splurge on some things. I'll share items I believe you should splurge on and why I think they are worth it.

My plan is to share the clothes we wear, and best of all I'll share when a really good sale is going on of said clothes. The food we eat, hello easy quick yummy recipes for the busy moms (and dads). How I eat, because recently I've changed that drastically to a much better diet. What we do...ideas to keep your kids busy, at home (mostly) and almost all those things are free OR really inexpensive. We have a lot of home improvements on the forever expanding honey-do-list and as those come together I'll share those too. How to throw a great birthday party (or 4 a year in my case) for your kids and not break the bank. Hair products, make up, skin care. Things as I've hit my thirties I'm realizing are important. I'll talk date nights and how Mike and I find alone time, with 4 needy kids, to keep our relationship fresh and fun. This blog will be a place where I talk about all the things that make my life come together at the end of the day.

I really think this is going to be fun! I've been missing blogging but definitely wanted to come at it in a totally different way if I came back.

But Kristen what's up with the name of this blog?

Well, my dad, my step mom, my brother and almost anyone who knows me from that side of the family calls me Krumbs. It's a nickname I got years ago. I was a REALLY messy eater as a kid. HA! So Kris Krumbs it is! And lets face it, this blog really will be all about Kris Krumbs & Company.

Here we go....
