I knew the Rippls, pre-kids. We were in the same small group, when they were newlyweds and I was single. Our lives got busy and I got to watch their family grow via social media, along with run-ins at the park. When I do see Rachel conversation comes so easy. She is so honest and real (which is right up my alley). And we could both share the joys AND challenges of raising two energetic boys. Thanks Rippls!
