20 Questions with Kristjana Hillberg
Meet Kristjana Hillberg - a South Dakota based military spouse, public relations pro, and parent to three kiddos (one of whom she co-parents - and drives drive back and forth across the state every other weekend for drop offs/pick ups!)
When she's not consulting with her clients on podcast and media placement, she enjoys thrifting and eating scones at the local bakery.
She has a pretty cool claim to fame too - but you'll have to read her responses to her 20 Questions here to find out what it is!
(And don't forget to follow along on her day-in-the-life tomorrow, Friday May 14th, on our Instagram!)

Each one of your babies is different. Make sure and parent them the way they need to be parented.

Our fierce tiger kitty, Fiona!
