About

Welcome! I’m Kristin—mom of two boys under two, home DIY lover, and corporate executive turned unapologetic mompreneur chasing creativity, joy, and a life built on my own terms.

Before motherhood, before Homeblazers, I was living the dream that looks perfect on paper: a big paycheck, leadership at the top of my career before 30, and the kind of success that earns respect in the boardroom. But here’s the thing: it came with late nights, missed bottles, stress that never let up, a messy house, and a constant feeling that life was rushing past me. I was dang good at my job… but I was not good at being me.

Earlier this year, postpartum anxiety and PPD forced a reckoning. I realized the life I’d built for success wasn’t the life I wanted for my family, or for myself. I craved creativity, presence, and joy. I wanted to be a mom who sees her kids, a wife who pauses, and a woman who builds something of her own.

After more than a decade as a Revenue Operations executive, I know what it takes to build scalable systems that drive real results—I’ve helped businesses generate hundreds of millions in revenue. I once poured my passion into climbing the corporate ladder, but I kept asking myself: why can’t I take those same skills, that same strategic mindset, and spin them into a high-functioning business of my own? That question led me to rebrand and relaunch Homeblazers, turning it into a business I run on my own terms—creative, ambitious, and fueled by the expertise I honed in the corporate world.

Homeblazers isn’t just about home DIY (though we love a good 16-foot brick fireplace and repurposed china cabinet as much as anyone). It’s about proving that mamas can have it all without losing themselves in the process. It’s about taking your skills, your grit, and your brainpower and using them to create a life that’s meaningful and joyful.

I’m here to show that passion projects can be lifelines, that the corporate ladder isn’t the only path to fulfillment, and that it’s never too late to take a chance on yourself while still showing up for the people you love most.

Thanks for stopping by—let’s make spaces, make memories, and make the life we actually want.

Want to collaborate? Send me a note. I love connecting with fellow dreamers.

DIY stairs? More like professional stairs 😉 This p DIY stairs? More like professional stairs 😉 This project was surprisingly easy to tackle and has AMAZING results. It’s a night and day difference when you first walk into our home. We looked at flooring options for months before deciding to go with @hewnfloor. The color we went with, Mendocino (from the @angelarosehome line), is gorgeous and exactly what I was envisioning. It reads warm but still manages to bring in some ash tones I’d dreamt of from our inspo oak floors.

Looking back at the project, some parts were frustrating (we mean you, belt sander. I’m STILL vacuuming up dust). But the overall results more than paid off!

Embrace the early decorations and join me in havin Embrace the early decorations and join me in having a festive November! 

Why? 

Well simple—because sometimes it’s nice to just do what makes you happy. We’ve all heard that audio where they say, “the turkey tastes just as good with the tree up.” I used to count down the days until Thanksgiving was over so I could finally put up Christmas decor. This year, I decided I was done with waiting. 

The best part is that I found this Christmas garland for just $16! It looks so real and is an amazing dupe of that viral Norfolk Pine garland I’ve seen everywhere. We are all 👏🏼about👏🏼saving👏🏼money! Comment “🎄” and I’ll send you a message with where you can score this garland too!

We all deserve happiness and joy this Holiday season. If that means decorating early, amazing. If not, you do you - that’s okay too 😉

I love a good deal—and the fall decor at the Targe I love a good deal—and the fall decor at the Target Dollar Spot is amazing right now! I’ve been fawning over the sherpa pumpkins and pillows at pottery barn, so finding these for just $3 was amazing! Let me know if you are able to snag some at your local Target too! 🎃🍂

Ugly carpeted stairs? Say no more 💁🏼‍♀️ We spent t Ugly carpeted stairs? Say no more 💁🏼‍♀️ We spent the last few weeks teaching ourselves how to renovate our carpeted stairs —with a newborn—and DIY the installation of these gorgeous new floors! @hewnfloor’s new Angela Rose collection in the color Mendocino was ✨ PERFECT ✨ for our space. After considering tons and tons of flooring options, with everything from hardwood to traditional laminate, I’m so happy we decided on Hewn’s Stoneform floors. These are super durable, which is ideal for our army of dogs and baby, plus they are DIY friendly! 

Follow along, as next we’ll share the exact step by step guide to tackle stairs yourself!
