Today I have someone who is taking “Mommy of the Year” award, hands down.
She works, takes care of her family and husband, and still has time to run her blog and write.
Plus she does with ease.
I sure hope when my little babes come along in life, I would be able to roll with the punches with just 1/2 the grace that Jennifer has.
Plus, check out what a hottie mommy she is, Ow Ow!
Find out how she met her wonderful hubby & how they got to where they are today.

Not in the creepy-chatroom-kind-of-way but on eHarmony.
It was my second day on the dating site and his first.
Fast forwarding through our MSN messenger chats, 4 hour phone conversations and html love letters (gotta love modern romance) we met three weeks later on September 12, 2004.
That evening, I was in tears as I told my mother confidently that I was going to marry him someday. Yes, that really happened.
The next 4 years of our relationship were difficult.
After being injured in a serious car accident, we had to push through my difficult and lengthy recovery. He too had been seriously injured when his skull was crushed by a baseball. After six surgeries between us, it seemed the worst was behind us.
When life normalized we began openly discussing getting married… someday.
I was getting ready for a good night’s sleep when my boyfriend came to tuck me in.
He handed me a medium sized box with a new cell phone.
{It was a thoughtful gift, but not what you expect just before bed.}
I opened the box and inside was a small black box.
{You know, those small black boxes that make girls sob.}
“I wanted to wait and give this to you on a special day, like a holiday so you would always remember, or do it at a restaurant or something special, but I wanted to give this to you,” he explained as I opened the box.
My response?
“I am so glad I am laying down,” I gasped and sobbed.
He kneeled on one knee and asked me to be his wife.
I said yes.
We were married on July 26, 2008 and our son was born on January 13, 2011.
