Welcome to Paging Real Life

I’m Abby — a physician, wife, and mom to three energetic daughters. Our family is always on the move: between cheer competitions, hip hop rehearsals, horseback riding, and archery meets, we’ve become pros at navigating carry-ons and chaos.

I’m married to Chris, a former teacher turned stay-at-home dad who logs more driving hours than an Uber driver, getting our girls where they need to go. Our oldest, Maddie, splits her time between the barn, the stage, and the archery range, while her younger sisters, Paige and Olivia, keep us busy with competitive cheer and dance.


This is where I share the stories behind the schedules — the packing lists and travel guides, yes, but also the everyday real-life stuff: balancing a demanding career in medicine, managing our house of five (plus three cats), and navigating the beautiful, messy in-between of being a modern family.

Whether we’re planning our next adventure or just surviving a competition weekend, I’m here for the honest, practical, and joyful moments that come with it.
