Hi Everyone!  My name is Kristin and I’ve recently joined the team of PTPA Blogaholics.  I am thrilled to be here!  Early on when I began blogging, I remember checking out the PTPA site and thinking what fun it would be to be a part of this team.  I guess you could say one of my personal/blogging goals has been fulfilled, and isn’t that something we all strive for?

Let me tell you a little bit about the kind of person this Mom is.  I’ve got two young kids who I completely adore.  My daughter D just turned 4, and my son L turned 1.  In fact, their birthdays are a week apart.  The jury is still out on whether this will make things easier or more difficult for me in the coming years!  In addition to my two kids, I also run a daycare from my home.  So, needless to say, things can get a little bit hectic around here.  I love working with kids, but my passion is definitely writing and social media.  I went to school in Sydney, Australia to study Communications (I was adventurous in my younger years!) and after arriving home in Canada I really began to miss having an outlet to express myself.  So naturally, after my daughter was born, I decided to start a blog.  That’s when Born 2 Be Mom was, well, born!  And I’ve been enjoying doing family friendly product reviews, hosting giveaways and sharing a little of my everyday life ever since.

When I’m not chasing children around my backyard or relaxing with a stellar strong coffee and my laptop, I can be found on my deck at the cabin enjoying the sunshine and a cool drink, or driving from coast to coast with my husband and our two kids.   Yep, we’ve done road trips with the little ones – lots of them in fact!  I’ll save some of those stories for another post.   Side note:  Need advice on kids getting car sick?  Ask me about it… I’m kind of an expert.

Anyway, I look forward to being a regular contributor here at PTPA.  In the coming months I hope to share some great product reviews, giveaways, stories, recipes and ideas for activities to do with your cute kids.  I hope you’ll stop in and say Hi to me, find me on Twitter or Facebook and be in touch.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Have a wonderful weekend!
