About Me

Hi, I'm Tori. I am a mom of three beautiful girls: Piper Kai (4), Jovie Birch (2), and Brinley Finn (10 mo.) I'm a marketer by trade, athlete by choice, mother and wife of a traveling professional husband.

What I've learned over my 4 year crash course in motherhood is I've learned a great deal that others found valuable and might just be helpful to you in your journey - and if nothing else keep you entertained.

I hope you enjoy my stories, find them fun and feel free to join the conversation.
