Hello BeautifulHey there! I'm Kristyn Dingman, a proud body-positive mama and devoted wife residing in the sunny oasis of Peoria, Arizona.
Inspired by the incredible community of mom bloggers out there, I've embarked on my own blogging journey. My mission? To share genuine, relatable moments from my everyday life. While many blogs showcase a picture-perfect world, I'm all about keeping it real—celebrating the highs and navigating the lows with authenticity and honesty. As a staunch advocate for empowering women and promoting positive body image, I aspire to inspire. My ultimate goal is to encourage those grappling with self-love to embrace a more positive mindset about their self-image. From the uplifting to the challenging, I'm here to share it all—the good, the bad, and the beautifully imperfect. A proud alumna of Northern Arizona University, I majored in Public Relations with minors in photography and studio art. These passions have shaped my creative journey and continue to influence my blogging endeavors. On the personal front, my high school sweetheart-turned-husband is my anchor, supporting and uplifting me in countless ways. We embarked on our homeownership journey in Phoenix, AZ, where we spent three wonderful years before settling into our dream home in Peoria. Our wedding day in March 2016 remains a cherished memory, filled with love and laughter. Our family grew brighter with the arrival of our firstborn, Benjamin. He's a bundle of joy, echoing the intelligence and warmth of his doting dad. Fast forward to March 2020, amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, we welcomed our second son, Bowen, turning us into a resilient and loving family of four. Join me as I navigate the beautiful chaos of motherhood, marriage, and self-discovery, sharing glimpses of my life's journey and hoping to resonate with hearts along the way. Where are you from?
