I’m not afraid to admit that I don’t have a clue what I’m doing when it comes to raising multiples. If you have ever seen me in public with them it’s pretty apparent. It seems that with each stage/age I’m presented with a whole new set of problems. Most recently it’s...

~Kristine Gresh There are a few moments when it hits you like a ton of bricks – you’re a mom! These moments are different for each mom, depending on circumstances, type of personality (of you and your child) and your general attitude about parenting and motherhood. So, rather than supply you...

What have we been up to this week? Find out! Jamie - This week, we took a day off.  My oldest (who is in 4K) said she needed some “Mommy time” and so we took Friday and kept it all to ourselves.  We spent the day vegging out in our jammies,  watching a movie (Sound of Music – again),...
