Kristin, your articles are a pleasure to read because you really bare your soul out to the reader. I think that’s pretty gutsy and a total leap of faith in stepping out of your comfort zone. Thanks for your humor and your honesty. Keep up the great work! I’m sure you’re inspiring more people than you realize.

I have a feeling when you hear those drums, they are going to give you a big old smile!! Well, at least for the first week!! I can totally relate to the comfort zone! I think it’s awesome!

You guys are all so supportive of my decision to buy drums. I hope you are supportive when I start complaining come March (ha-ha). I love this time of year!!! xo Kristin

I appreciate how honest you always are on your blog – and I love that you bought the drums for the boys. I think many of us tred on the “safe side”… thank you for inspiring us all to move outside of our comfort zone. The Jonas Brothers may have some competition soon… from the Coons Kids!

Kristin, when I ran into you this morning at the park, I had mentioned that I received your email last night but I don’t think I said that I hadn’t opened it yet. Bc if I did, we would have stood there much longer chatting about exactly this. I just now read this column and I am delighted! You articulated it in a way that sounds much better than what I (and my husband) have labeled myself for many years – “lived within fairly cautious boundries and I find it difficult to operate outside of my comfort zone” and “going a little overboard is so out of character”. This is SO me and it feels great to know that someone that I admire has very similar ‘challenges’ that you want to try and explore and experiment with Glad to hear about the drums. I’ll let you know what my own outcome is for Madison & Brendan’s gift request this year. Happy Thanksgiving, Jules

kristin!
how funny and what a nice mommy to expand yours and your sons horizons!! we too have a shiny red drum set, that my parents bought gavin. they are in the garage/playroom…they are the first thing kids go to when they are here. and i know for sure our neighbors can hear them, and they’ve never complained. you could always put your set in the downstairs room near the garage. that way everyone has silence…except for the drummers who will LOVE it!!! happy thanksgiving, hope to see you in class this week. xo nicole
