I am a teacher mama to one-year-old twins and a three-year-old toddler. Life is crazy with three kids three and under, two dogs, jobs and a house with constant remodel projects - but we are lucky. Dare I say blessed?

What's your favorite thing to do on family night?

In the winter, we love to make hot chocolate in our crockpot, and snuggle on the couch with a family movie. Our latest movie was Brave.

What has surprised you most about motherhood?

Honestly, what has suprised me the most is how hard it is. We tried for over a year to have a baby; I am a teacher; I have been around kids forever and have babysat for as long as I can remember. But nothing could prepare me for how hard it is. Of course, it's amazing how when things are good and wonderful, you quickly forget the bad. But there are days when it's all you can do to keep it together.

What's your favorite game to play as a family?

My kids are still too little. The twins are only 1 and Connor is only three, so we don't really play games. We do love to read and snuggle on the couch.
