Meet Mom

Hi, I'm Kris, and these are my favorite stories.

By day I'm in the water, teaching little ones to swim with the same patience and silliness I bring to my own kids at home. By night, we curl up with our favorite picture books, and the best ones never leave the shelf for long.

Tales with Mom is where I share the read-alouds my family loves: warm, cozy, full of giggles, and a little bit magical when the moment calls.

Read-alouds

Swim teacher by day
