Erica
Stay-at-home-mom to two handsome young gentlemen and wife of a firefighter. Our life changes on at the drop of a hat- see how we manage to keep it all together! We are a Crossfitting, Paleo eating family (for the most part) who love going on little adventures whether its to the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, Trader Joe's or far away to have some delicious not-so Paleo food. Our household is currently obsessed with trains, bubbles, Play-Doh, and spending as much time outside as possible.
