Erin Napier Kicks Off 2026 With Quality Family Time
On February 1, Napier took to Instagram to share some highlights from the previous month. The focus was definitely on family.
“January flew by as we had the month off from filming and I got to be a stay at home teacher mom!” she shared in the caption.
Napier continued, “My hair got longer, Mae loves music lessons and stick on earrings and drawing pictures, I picked up oil pastels and they took me to the beach, Helen turned 8 and memorized a John Updike poem, did a book report on the Wizard of Oz, started running track and drew what the music of the week felt like.”
She added, “Ben built a million fires, we checked a million books out at the library and read *some* of them. *not pictured from January: fever and snot and ear infection 😄* Is spring coming now? Maybe?”
Among the photos of her husband Ben and their daughters Mae and Helen, was a mirror selfie photo with the text “Longest my hair has been since 2010.”
Napier also shared pics of her artwork as well as her children’s artistic talents.
