The life of Riley......what does it means anyway?

The "life of Riley" refers to an easy and pleasant life.  I married a Reilley 16 years ago. The Reilley clan is large and full of life and adventure.  They rarely sit down...always moving.  They go through life at full throttle.  Naturally, we seem to move along in life at a fast pace.  My side of the family is much slower.  It has taken awhile for me to adjust to the commotion of being a Reilley. I think we are somewhere in the middle now!

My life is far from easy but it is pleasant a large part of the time. Either way,  we live it to the fullest! It's easy being married to my husband...he's just that kind of guy.  Raising 5 kids.....that's where the easy part goes out the window!  I'm very fortunate because I have great kids and all the blood, sweat and tears that it takes raising them is paying off.  No one is perfect, and we make our share of mistakes, but things are good and we are so blessed.  Even with all of our trials and tough times, we still live like kings compared to the greater population.  This is OUR version of the living the life of Riley!
