5 Minutes With a Mom

Name: Kristen Knight166.JPG

Job: Architect

Child(ren): Lydia, 3

How long have you lived in Fayetteville? For 13 years. Kristen earned a degree in architecture from the University of Arkansas and stayed after graduation.

Best parenting advice: Snag a copy of On Becoming Baby Wise. “Someone gave us a copy and I absolutely think it changed our world. I still use the techniques I used when she was three months old. I have given that book to so many moms.”

Most relaxing thing I’ve done all summer: “Visited an old friend (alone) in Asheville, N.C. We went to a day spa and did a whole lot of nothing.”

Most interesting travel experience: “I studied for five months in Rome. You can’t beat that. I also spent six weeks in the Arctic Circle as part of an exchange program.”

How did you meet your husband? “In architecture school. I loved him the moment I saw him 13 years ago”

How do you de-stress? “I walk and listen to music (I’m really loving K.T. Tunstall right now) and cook. I’m a vegetarian and I find chopping therapeutic.”
