Hooks Books & Wanderlust

Hi! I'm Kristen, a wife, mom to two boys, and breast cancer survivor. If there’s one thing that cancer taught me, it’s that life is short, so we need to grab every opportunity we can to live life to the fullest. I call it living la belle vie, or the good life. I hope to encourage others to do more of the things that bring joy to their lives. At Hooks, Books, and Wanderlust, I share some of the things that bring me joy: crochet, books, and travel, with a bit of life thrown in. I hope you find something to inspire you today!
