Moms of multiples tell it like it is

Ok, so I have to start with a disclaimer…I am writing right now with a bit of a ‘bad taste in my mouth’.  May as well put it out there – I’m in ‘a mood’ because I made the error in judgment to turn on ‘E!’ whilst tidying up the tornado the triplets left behind [...]

Yes, as in the 1985 movie starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.  It’s a classic.  But, just in case you are fuzzy on the details (because I refuse to believe that there is even ONE of you out there who missed it!), the basic premise  of the movie is that Michael J. Fox’s character [...]

It’s amazing, the difference a year or so can make. We’re a frequent-flying family.  Not because we just love to travel.  Quite the opposite, in fact, we’re quite the bunch of homebodies.  But we live more than 1,000 miles away from our families, so travel we do.  I’ve lost count, but I think we’re up [...]

People, I am not one who likes to work out. At all. I don’t like being sweaty and out of breath. Then there’s the time issue – hello, I am working (for money) and taking care of four little kids (sadly, not for money). We can’t afford a gym membership or a quadruple jogging stroller. [...]
