You Made It!
I’m so glad you’re here. You’re a big part of my “why.” I write because:
– I want my life lessons — as a wife, mom, and entrepreneur — to support you.
– I love the way it feels when an idea pops into my head and I pour it out on paper.
– I don’t ever want anyone to feel alone.
– Trips are always more fun together!
My journey of self-discovery is getting really exciting, and you’re invited to tag along. Maybe something I’ve learned helps in your own life trip. Or you just get a kick out of laughing with me as things unfold and I find my way.
Either way, the adventure starts here — so buckle up, Buttercup!

OUT NOW: EMPTY BESTING!
“When she realized some chapters must end,
she turned the page and started writing a new one.”
Based on my word of the year: Evolve. One of the huge changes in 2020 was my quadruplets graduating and leaving home. I turned empty-nesting into empty-besting — and you can too.
Yes, please!
Hi, I’m Kristi!
Newly published author, wife of 26 years, mom of 6 daughters — including quadruplets — business-owner, travel buff, lover of personal style.
After 24 years of parenting, it’s just me and my husband at home. You’ll hear all the details as we spend more time together, especially if you follow my blog. But for now, I’ll cover the bases.
I’m from small-town Iowa, married my college sweetheart, had 6 kids by 27, and love travel. The world is at my fingertips online and with my travel business — and that’s pretty awesome. Being a role model for my girls, helping people in everything I do, and planning are a few of my big favorites.
I’ve always felt pulled to explore new places, meet new people, and challenge myself. This new journey of becoming isn’t just for me anymore. I waited a long time to “get to” my passion — and I hope to help you step into what lights you up, sooner rather than later! Just like at home and work, I thrive on learning and growing. When we can do that together, the journey is just so much more fun.
Let’s figure it out together, find peace despite everyday chatter, and enjoy being ourselves. And have some good laughs along the way!
