Arpie is a new mother of two kids who she adores with her entire heart – Vaughn (age 2) and Tevine (10 months). When she’s not changing diapers, planning activities or prepping meals, she loves to work out and watch her favorite shows. Her husband – Hrag – is a political consultant who works with elected officials and candidates across California.  When he’s not busy with campaigns, Hrag serves as Arpie’s official food and dessert taste tester.
