Share a little something about yourself with other moms.: I am a Mom on the Rise to a rambunctious two-year-old, a wife, a High School English Teacher, and a very crafty lady (when I have time). I enjoy reading, playing stinky-feet, telling people about cool/bad buys, and trying to figure out- like many other moms- how to raise a well-rounded child. I am also mentally (but not so much physically) on a mission to lose weight and really need support. I am outspoken. I have some serious self-esteem issues mostly caused by family, but again, I am trying to be the best damned mom (not the Nanny) that I can be, even when it hurts. . My 31 years have been filled with love, laughter, tears, and joy. I'm hoping to share my knowledge with those who wish to learn. I am also a web designer: http://designs.kristinabrooke.org

What is your blogging philosophy?: Mess With Me And I Will BLOG ABOUT YOU.

I have been blogging since...: 2003

My favorite blog is...: http://mrs.flinger.us

Voyage of Discovery: a Blog Tour Meme

The Internet is MASSIVE and sometimes we don’t get to see all of the great blogs that the WWW has to offer. So this MEME aims at connecting us to great blogs. How does it work? Just create a post every weekend linking to six blogs that you think others should know about. http://www.kristinabrooke.org/blog/07/26/2008/voyage-of-discovery-a-blog-tour-meme/

I love your blog! Great content.

At 9:06pm on September 11, 2008, MicheleD said…: Hi Kristina! I was drawn to your bio that said you taught H.S. English. That was my aspiration many years ago...that, and become a published writer. Right now, I have a love/hate relationship w/ my book manuscript and teach college-level English Comp (plus some biz courses)...so I'm close to rising to my dream! :)

At 3:12pm on September 11, 2008, Angie Mozilo said…: Hi mom on the rise.....Wow! What courage you have to start your own business! I understand where you are coming from in your desire to be a good mom, your self esteem issues, and all the other things we moms struggle with. Nice to meet you!
