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

I am a sucker for movie night. I love cuddling up with the kids and the hubster - Popping some popcorn and sprinkling in some M&M's...because Popcorn & M&M's is the perfect movie snack. Movie night is always something that brings us together and is fun for everyone. We're huge Lilo & Stitch fans, Finding Nemo, and Dad's favorite is Brave.

What has surprised you most about motherhood?

How HARD it is but still REWARDING. Every day I'm challenged, I struggle in the patience department and telling a toddler to hurry up is literally the equivalent to telling them to go as slow as humanly possible. I find new ways to overcome tantrums, kiss a boo boo, entertain them, and this is just another day.

Even though it's the hardest job, it's also the most rewarding. Cliche..maybe. But it is. Seeing your child learn something you taught them gives me so much pride. Watching your child become a little person who offers smiles to strangers and hugs to everyone is something I will never get enough of.

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

Candyland! We're obsessed. It's fun for everyone, great for learning numbers and colors, and we get to talk about Candy. Score!
