Welcome back, Reader! Today, things are getting a little different and incredibly special. You know how much I love sharing bits of our family life, but for this post, I decided to turn the tables. I handed the mic (and a list of questions!) over to my trusty, brutally honest, and endlessly entertaining co-stars – my kids! Although, they're the true main characters around here! Get ready to see me through their eyes, because their answers to questions all about me are equal parts hilarious, sweet, and surprisingly insightful.

Well, there you have it! My kids' unfiltered, hilarious, and sometimes surprisingly sweet take on yours truly. I hope you got a good chuckle, and maybe even a little inspiration! If you're feeling brave (or just need a good laugh), I highly recommend trying this with your own kiddos. You never know what gems they'll come up with. Let me know in the comments if you decide to give it a whirl; I'd love to hear some of the highlights!
