Kyle Bugh Exley

My husband Eric and I have been married for 13 years, and we’re fost/adopt parents to 4 kids ages 5-11, living in sunny Long Beach, CA. I used to work as a mental health therapist and foster care caseworker, but after having kids chose to be a stay at home mom. In my early 20s my dad remarried after my mom passed away, so we have been a blended family since 2007.
