edit data

When Kristina Welch isn't adventuring around the world with her husband and three little blondies, she's home near Denver, Colorado.

She thrives on date nights, forest hikes, and peanut butter cookies. Her days include half-homeschooling her kids, thrifting for treasures, tackling (and usually regretting) DIY home projects, and soaking in the beauty of the mountains—and their Creator—from her favorite writing chair.

Check out her new Mayberry University Series about a college campus where following Jesus gets real and love shows up uninvited. ...more

Kristina’s Quotes

“You are a rush to me. Every time I make you smile, my heart rate goes through the roof. The way you blush and bite your lip and pretend to be annoyed when I tease you…” He patted his chest. “Straight shot of dopamine. Let’s not even talk about what your laugh does to me. But you’re not just my dopamine hit. You’re my soft place to land when I come back down. I don’t need you to go skydiving with me. Or rock climbing. I’m perfectly happy reading a book. Or hanging out watching a movie with you. But there are times when I’d want us to get out of our comfort zones. Make some memories. I want to pick our moments, whatever they are, and live them.”
― Cindy Steel, Faking Christmas
