"Making the most of every second of the summer we have off with the pickles... This is our honeymoon," she wrote. "We are calling it a 'homeymoon' because we just wanted to spend it at home with all the kids all summer."

The newlywed concluded: "We're always one in one out and all over the place. So this time at home is just all we could have dreamed of."
