Life truly is precious."

Just last month, she shared a hilariously relatable post showing her daughter Ella sporting a pair of funky polka dot sunglasses while her mom wrapped her arms around her. She wrote in the caption: "Mommy is wearing her glasses this morning… so Ella wanted to wear her glasses too. Shortly after this she destroyed everything in our living room… #toddlerlife."

So so grateful for this man… all that he is for me, our little girl and Walter too. 

"It took me a long time to find my Prince Charming and God really delivered all the things with this one."
