It’s All About Me
Well I’m a little late to the party which is so unlike me. I can’t stand tardiness. But alas, it’s hard to be on time when you found out about the party less than 10 minutes ago. Nonetheless, better late than never,
My name is Kristina Brooke. It’s very nice to meet you. Mom on the Rise came to me one night when I realized that my desire to be “more” suddenly took over me after becoming a mom. Having a child made me realize that the life of “almost doing” was not longer good enough. So, I decided that teaching other kids was just not enough for me and I needed more. I am learning to find the time to get it all done and stay sane.
My husband and my daughter make me smile non-stop. They remind me that good exist in the world and that I am special. My hubby and I have been together for 13 years and married 7 years this August.
My hubby and daughter when she was only a fewm months old. She'll be 4 soon.
I have a lot of hobbies- many of which are rather nerdy. I like web design and choose to code using Notepad rather than a WYSIWYG editor. I enjoy reading about gadgets and watching true crime TV. I enjoy learning even when what I have learned is rather trivial. I’m addicted to all things Anne Rice and a good book can actually shut me up- which says a lot. (A word about Anne Rice: all of you Twilight fans- you have been completely duped by this inadequately written series. Anne Rice is the champion when it comes to Vampire tales). I am a knitter, crocheter, and writer (of adult fiction too).
My family has been through a lot of heart ache over the last year with the loss of my oldest sister and my father-in-law. But as my husband and I know, tragedy makes you stronger than you could ever imagine. I learned that early in life as I am a Rape Survivor and am trying to share my story so that others learn from my family mistakes.
I am a TravelingMom and host TravelingMom TV on MingleMedia TV every Monday at 9:00 PM and on MomTV every Friday at 8:30 PM. I talk about travel, homeschooling, and exploring the world as a Mom of Hue in an interracial relationship.
Of course I have to mention that I am also on a mission to lose 195 pounds with the help of the Mamavation Sisterhood. My weight loss struggles have been a source of frustration for me, but I know that I will reach my goal.
So this is me. I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about me. See you around the Web!
Oh wow so many things I didn’t know and love the pic too!
