Hi, I'm Kristia. I write at Family Balance Sheetabout my passions: family finances, food, home-management, and family life. I have also written for various websites and blogs.

A former department store buyer, I left the retail world to help my husband run his chiropractic office. It was a leap of faith to leave a full time career for self employment, but we never looked back. I continue to use the skills I learned in the corporate world to manage our small business and our home.

When I'm offline, you can find me hanging out with our two young daughters, experimenting in the kitchen, gardening, and training for my next half-marathon.
