WELCOME TO MOtHErHOOD
BECOMING A MOM OF FOUR
If you would’ve asked me even 5 years ago if I would have four kids, I don’t think you would’ve gotten the same answer as you would’ve now. Read more…
MAMA TIPS
Whats in my BAG?
Whether you carry a diaper bag or tote bag, keep a small one in the car for emergencies. Extra wipes, diapers & set of clothes never hurt anyone.
LUNCH/SNACKS IDEAS
Eat, Eat, Eat! Keep healthy snacks around if you struggle with finding the time to eat a full meal. Nuts, fruit & jerky are always my favorite.
R&R
Get sleep. I know this one is hard but we have to try to do it. Yea the laundry may not get done but that well rested feeling hits differently.
Keep a schedule & Get Organized
When you have kids, especially multiple, it’s hard to remember everything if you don’t write it down. Keeping a notebook and calendar is essential in organized while maintaining your sanity. I keep a giant calendar in the kitchen where everyone can see what’s going on.

EMPOWERMENT AND EFFICIENCY: AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM
