After almost 8 years married and over 18 years together, 3 kids & a dog, he still makes me feel like that giddy teenager! I believe that all successful relationships take work, a lot of laughter & some “married couple bickering” but that a butt grab in the kitchen, or letting each other sleep in on a Sunday morning once in a while will go a long way! Kyle telling me I'm beautiful on my "hot mess" kind of days probably help a bit too! 

When it comes to parenting I like to keep my sanity dealing with three kids by having daily dance parties, teaching them to fist pump, drinking wine from a coffee mug at 12 o'clock, eating treats in hiding & of course teaming up with Kyle on necessary parent time outs (aka nap time) when we just need a mental break. I mean, we are outnumbered so we really have to stick together! Being a Mom is an amazing thing, but what fun would it be if we took ourselves too seriously!! I want our kids to see that their Mom and Dad make mistakes, screw up, move through hurdles & obstacles but support each other through it all!!  At the end of the day, if I can go to bed knowing that I kept all 3 of them alive, healthy & happy, thats a win in my books!
