Kris is a mom to two boys ages 10 and 8. She is a "stay at home" mom but hates that term since she is rarely home. She considers herself more of a "behind the wheel" mom since she is often found either driving around FOR her kids or driving her kids around. She never pictured herself staying at home with kids but ten years ago she gave up her international sales job and never looked back. Parenthood is full of challenges but it is also full of humor, you just have to look harder for it at times.

Kris grew up in Boring, Oregon (yes, that is a REAL city), and graduated from Oregon State (GO BEAVS). She now resides on the West side of Portland with her husband, her two boys, a dog, two cats and every piece of sports equipment known to man.
