My name is Karis Murray. I am a Scottsdale, AZ native. I am a Daughter of the King, wife to Mike, mom to 2 daughters, dog mom to Louie The Wonder Damnation (Dalmatian) and a poet in my own mind.
I have a strong belief that joy doesn’t happen by default. You have to choose it. And if you wait for the circumstances to be right to have joy, you’ll wait forever. You have to look for reasons to laugh and find the silver lining in every cloud.
We’ve had some circumstances in the last few years that often cripple people and ruin marriages. By God’s amazing mercy, and by no virtue of our own, He’s brought us to a new place where we’ve come to trust Him more then ever. If you’d like to read the story that only God could write, click here.

Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. My goal is to share my confessions with you and let you live my adventures along side me. Note: my modis operandi is humor because it doesn’t sugar-coat the truth, but somehow it softens the blow. So, raise your glass of Alka-Seltzer and toast to motherhood. The most thankless, sacrificial, rewarding job in the world. Salute!
The Hoover Dam. I love that I have a huge zit on my chin in this pic. At least it’s just one!
