Tiffany Jenkins' husband, Drew Jenkins, does not look to be one of the people she needs to manage, as the name of her blog, "Juggling The Jenkins," might suggest. He is the one to pick up the pieces she drops.

Suppose you want proof that there is no such thing as a lost cause, head on to Tiffany Jenkins' blog and social media channels like millions of others. She uses her platform to give humorous, sometimes punctuated by expletives, accounts of parenthood and addiction.

Her husband is a favorite amongst her fans, helped by his traditionally handsome looks, devotion to his family, and scarcity on the account.

Tiffany Jenkins Was in a Different Relationship about 10 Years Ago

Tiffany was cheer captain and a high achiever academically at her Sarasota, Florida, high school when she had her first drink at 18. She kept chasing the numbing effect of liquor, and three months later, she dropped out of school.

While juggling various waitressing gigs, a friend offered her painkillers. Any money that came in was poured into her new prescription drug addiction, which she justified as they were the "sort given out by doctors."

In her mid-twenties in 2009, she used her inheritance from her mother to book herself into a rehabilitation center. Her sober life included a live-in sheriff's deputy boyfriend.

Swiping a colleague's medication following a tough day at the restaurant she managed spiraled into a $200-a-day opioid habit. Tiffany was desperate to hide her addiction from her law enforcement beau. The pills were partly funded by providing the dealer with sex acts.

The manager pawned a wedding ring from her boyfriend's dad to raise drug money. The criminality escalated after she was fired in November 2012. She gave the dealer three of her partner's off-duty guns to clear her $7,000 debt. She hoped to buy back the weapons before he noticed:

"In my sick and twisted mind, I thought everything would be okay."

After discovering his weapons were stolen, the sheriff's deputy had his girlfriend taken away in cuffs by his fellow deputies. The addict suffered extreme opioid withdrawal in jail, but she has not used it since her arrest.

The recovering addict pled guilty to 20 felony counts and was given a jail term of 180 days and six months in a rehabilitation facility. The Florida native has not been in contact with her ex other than an apology letter. Tiffany says:

“[My boyfriend] was heart­broken. I had betrayed and humiliated him.”

Tiffany Is Happy Now after Her Stormy Period

The former cheerleader married Drew Jenkins on February 16, 2012. The tall bearded brunette keeps a low profile, rarely appearing on "Juggling The Jenkins," a blog she founded in 2017.

Drew entered the marriage with a daughter from a previous relationship, and the couple had two more children, Kaiden and Chloe. Mr. Jenkins updated his wife's wedding ring set in October 2018 for her birthday.

The author shared a romantic picture of what date night looked like in one's thirties in June 2022. Taken in a parking garage, her head is tilted to the side as her husband delicately inserts antibiotic ear drops. A friend captured the tender moment between the parents.

The married couple sleeps in separate beds, but it is not a twin bed situation à la Lucy and Ricky Ricardo in the early seasons of Lucille Ball's sitcom, "I Love Lucy." The twins are pushed together to form a king-sized bed with separate bedding. She quipped in March 2022:

"My husband and I got separate beds and told our kids they could no longer sneak into our beds due to the giant crack. It's going well."

The mommy blogger shared four images showing the failed experiment. In the first snap, her husband's tattooed arm is visible on the edge of the frame, but the star is Kaiden soundly sleeping in what a commenter labeled a "glorified hammock" between the mattresses.

In October 2021, Tiffany finally got over her hang-ups of getting professional family portraits taken, always telling herself, "I'll do it when I lose 10 lbs."

With Drew away on business often, she could hide her constant crying and despair from him.

She realized that her children would not care if she had "love handles" when they look back at these beautiful family memories when they are older, and their mother is no longer with them.

Tiffany Suffered Postpartum Depression but Couldn't Share at First

As life is, Tiffany did not use up her quota of tough times during her addiction spiral and incarceration in her late teens and twenties. Following the birth of Chloe, she fell into a depression that she was afraid to speak about.

Even to her husband, Drew, in the irrational fear that he would regret fathering children with her. She starts a guest blog by writing a sentence that breaks all motherhood taboos: "I did not like my children when this photo was taken. I actually resented them for existing."

In the picture, she looks haggard as month-old Chloe is breastfeeding, and her 17-month-old son is snuggled against her. She managed a smile in other snaps -- all faked during this time, she admitted.

With Drew away on business often, she could hide her constant crying and despair from him. She did something miraculous the day she could not care enough to change her babies' nappies and take them out of the cot. She called the doctor's office.

The mother of three was surprised at how fluently the doctor spoke about postpartum depression, soon finding out she was one of the millions of women affected. She says: "Reaching out for help was the greatest gift I have ever given them as a mother."

As a high-profile blogger and author, writing about her painful ordeal helps to destigmatize postpartum depression. Celebrity mothers like Hayden Panettiere, Jeannie Mai, and Brooke Shields have spoken openly about their dark periods after giving birth.

Tiffany Shares a Lot of Her Children's Moments

Tiffany adores her children and is the kind of parent who cuddles them on the couch while watching television. Occasionally she longs for the days when she had more control over their safety, like when they were young:

"It’s so weird to think I can leave them in another room unattended now without fearing for their life. Sometimes I miss having them locked safely into a stroller and with me at all times...rarely... but definitely sometimes."

The birth of her first child was indeed a gift -- a birthday gift. The blogger and Drew welcomed their son Kaiden on Tiffany's birthday. But even without that glorious coincidence, celebrating birthdays is serious in the Jenkins household.

The mom of three sets an alarm clock every hour so the celebrant can open a new gift. She believes this prolongs the excitement and gives the child time to appreciate each new object.
