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:

3. When people preach to you about the...

We all die. Protecting your family using life insurance can provide you with peace of mind so that you don’t have to worry about the "whens" and the "what ifs".
So who am I to tell you about life insurance? Long before I became a mommy, I got my undergraduate degree in Finance & Insurance and spent several years working in the insurance industry. My passion for life insurance grew the more I learned about the wonderful benefits it can provide, not only in...
When did the comments start? It seems like they were always there. I had been married for two months to my now ex-husband when I saw two pink lines on the pregnancy test. "Oh, you poor thing! You know you should have waited at least a couple of years to have children. This will put a tremendous strain on your new marriage." Forget the fact that I was ecstatic since I had been told five years prior that having children would probably be one of the longest journeys I would ever set out on and would probably not end up where I wanted. Then he was born and in my new mommy bliss (and ignorance) I overlooked the comments...
