Emily
Meet Emily, mom to 3 year old twins Lucie & Charlotte with baby number 3 on the way! She likes to cook, watches too much HGTV, and loves fashion -- although lately she is focusing that love of fashion on matching outfits for her girls while she wears yoga pants. Emily has quickly realized that becoming a stay-at-home mom doesn't magically make you a super mom with a perfectly decorated house that cooks gourmet meals all the time -- but she is embracing the chaos and hoping to share some of the hilarious craziness that is raising twins with you!

She was pretty fun!
