Dori is a 36-year-old mommy who lives in Vestavia Hills with her hubby of almost 10 years and their 3 crazy 4-year-old sons. Yep. They're all 4. All boys. She works full time as a college professor and has a serious caffeine addiction. While her parenting approach can best be described as "survivalist", she's just so glad to be in the game after struggling with infertility.
