Do you ever have those moments where you are weak, tired, and at the end of your rope? You just need that little boost to get you through the day?
A few days ago, the girls and I were finishing up our last few errands on a very busy day. I was completely exhausted and dreaming about a nap! Emmeline was on day 5 of sleepless nights, Ava was bouncing off the walls, and Daniel had barely been home between working 2 jobs and going to school. While we were heading home, three devastating realizations occurred to me. 1. Emmeline was asleep in her car seat so she would likely not nap once we got home. 2. It was later...
Moments Every Mom of Multiples Will Understand
In honor of all of our readers who are moms of multiples, I compiled some very familiar moments that don't easily let us forget these challenges and joys in raising our twins, triplets, or higher order multiples.
Here are moments every mom of multiples will understand ::
1. When you pull up next to the double grocery buggy in the parking lot of a grocery store:
…your day is totally made!
2. When there is only one high chair at a restaurant (or only one crib at a hotel, etc.):
So y’all only allow one child in this establishment at a time? Does the other baby need to wait in the car?
3. When people preach to you about the...

You have joined in with a group of awesome women who love their families, who are hard-working, who are not afraid of challenges! Life from here on out will never be the same!

Childcare. The absolute number one necessity for every working mother hands down. This is not a decision to make on a whim or in a hurry.

So we've talked about the big "question" in Part 1. But more than priorities and finances, what about our emotions? I feel like this aspect gets ignored in most discussions about working because we're too busy fighting about which is better and which is worse and where the "super mom" lies in the mix. But let's set aside the competition and be honest. Any decision is going to be a tough one. Any decision is going to have its challenges. Any decision is going to have opposition. So what is the decision that we want to make?
This past week I had to work a 50hr week at a job I absolutely love for a company that I adore. It was way...
