It’s the Birthday girl here and today I am turning 27! Yay! I know I am still pretty young but 27, wow sometimes I feel like I am a lot younger than that. Sometimes lately I think someone is the same age as me but then they end up being like 4 year younger haha
Today I thought it would be fun to answer 27 questions about my family and I. I hope by the end you’ll feel like you know me and my family a little bit better.

- What is the best part? I love sharing the sweetest things in my life with you guys! Its a hobby of mine which I am a big believer in moms doing something that they love for themselves. Also, being able to provide income for my family while staying at home has blessed our lives.
- How is it being a boy mom? I love my boys so much but man some days are hard! My boys have lots and lots of energy which I will be glad for when they are older haha they keep me on my toes and there is never a dull moment in our home. I wouldn’t trade it for anything but I’m still hoping for a girl later in life haha
