Behind the Blog

Meet Kristine

Hi, I’m Kristine—a longtime blogger, homemaker, and someone who still believes the everyday things matter.

I started Kristine in Between nearly a decade ago as a place to share recipes, creative projects, and the simple things I loved at home.

Over time, it’s grown into a space centered around simple, wholesome recipes, everyday homemaking, and making daily life feel a little more meaningful.

Think of it as your place for the meals you come back to, the traditions you keep, and the small, practical ways to make your home run a little smoother.

FAQ

I started blogging back in 2009 with my first site, The Pink Sprinkle. It was a place to share everyday life and the recipes I grew up with and didn’t want to lose track of.

In 2015, I created Kristine in Between as a more intentional space that still felt personal, a place where I could share recipes, writing, photography, and my life.

Over time, it’s become what it is now, a collection of simple recipes, familiar favorites, holiday inspiration, and the kind of homemaking that makes a house feel lived in and loved.

Nothing complicated. Nothing overdone. Just the things you come back to, again and again.

I’m really glad you’re here. 🫶🏻
