<p>I'm a momma to triplets I refuse to stop calling babies. When I'm not busy with my trio, you can find me in the kitchen (if I've finished the laundry!). I also enjoy spending time on the back porch with my husband drinking hoppy beers, wearing cowboy boots and eating peanut butter on a spoon with our brown dog at my feet.</p>
