Xochill lives in Orono, Minnesota with her husband, identical twin teenage daughters, son, and quirky golden retriever. She and her husband are kept busy coaching their kids in youth sports or proudly cheering from the sidelines as they develop in competitive swimming, track, hockey, lacrosse, and golf.
