Wife. Mother. Step mother. Bargain shopper extraordinaire. My husband and I met on the doorsteps of my mom's front porch- our parents were, and still are, neighbors. We were both sweaty, awkward, preteens. Married in 2011, welcomed our first child together in 2012, twins in 2014- we've now blossomed into sweaty, awkward adults, and now parents. As soon as we said "I do", we became a family of three, and I became a step mother to his, then 5 year old, daughter, who resides with us full time. I'm just your average girl who enjoys coffee at sunrise, wine at sunset, bargain shopping (I'm a bit of a braggart over finding good deals!), LOL Cat Memes, scaring my sound asleep Boston Terrier, and anything where lip syncing is involved. My laugh sounds like the hybrid spawn of Betty Rubble and a monkey, and I like to bust that out as much as I possibly can. Being a mama has given my life much more purpose than I ever previously imagined. Life is short- and the season of mothering small children is even shorter- I'm all about laughing my way through trying to juggle the day-to-day, and finding my way with four kids in tow.
