Moms of multiples tell it like it is

As my husband and I were wrangling our girls into their cribs tonight, I started thinking about how our bedtime routine has evolved over the past year and a half.  The evolution is due in part to their age but always because there are three of them. 
When the girls were about 15 months old, we added reading books [...]

One of the most frequently asked questions from parents of newborn multiples is, “When does it get easier?  It DOES get easier, right?”  The answers from experienced parents vary from, “When they start sleeping through the night,” to “It doesn’t get easier – the hard stuff just changes.”

I grew up with three younger brothers and no sisters.  For the most part, my toys were my toys.  My brothers wanted nothing to do with my Barbie dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids and the like.  There were toys that we shared but I do not recall any big fights or incidences surrounding sharing.

I’m one of the lucky ones.  I have a husband who not only is great with the girls but willingly helps out.  All. The. Time. 
I remember those first few months after the girls were born and how Rich would never complain about the difficulty in caring for a newborn preemie infant throughout the night while having to [...]

we’ve figured this whole thing out!
At almost two and a half years old, my husband, Rich, and I believe that our girls are fairly well behaved.  They know their boundaries and limits and don’t push too often.  Yes, they may become a bit fussy with sitting in the stroller or shopping cart while we shop but they KNOW [...]

After giving birth to three baby girls at once, it’s safe to say that I was a bit excited at the prospect of having to purchase adorable outfits in triplicate.  I can honestly say that I never gave much thought to whether I would dress the girls in matching, coordinating or completely different outfits.  Because we had a closet [...]
