In a lot of ways, our girls are lucky to be triplets. They will always have someone to play with, they learn independence and sharing at a very young age, they’ll have plenty of closets to raid when they’re older. But they also will experience some disadvantages as they’re growing up. They HAVE to share most things, they probably won’t …
messy kitchens & spit-up stains
“What’s the hardest part about raising triplets?” I get this question a lot. People expect to hear “changing a million diapers” or “keeping them contained in one area” or “cleaning after meals”. And YES, those thing are all difficult at times. But if you want me to be completely honest, the hardest part of raising triplets (and I imagine this …
Pump Pump Pump It Up
Let’s be honest. Nobody knows anything about pumping before you start doing it. It’s daunting. It’s overwhelming. And when you’re pumping for three babies, it’s terrifying.

Hope in the Waiting
You guys know I walked through some very difficult years as we were trying to start a family. Infertility is no joke. During that time, I didn’t have many friends who had walked through it. In fact, it seemed as if literally all of my friends were getting pregnant. I couldn’t find very many resources to help me cope and deal …

Ya’ll. So super pumped about this new baby carrier from MiaMily. As a mom of triplets, baby carrying is my life and the only way I can get anything done!

Identity Theft
Confession time!! I AM AN IDENTITY THIEF. No, I didn’t steal anyone’s credit cards or social security numbers. (Although I’ve watched enough crime shows that I think I probably could.) I’m talking about stealing my own identity. Crazy, right?! But I bet you’re guilty too. Have you ever wanted to be more like that perfect girl in class or at …
Top 10 Best Baby Products
Hey-O! First time mom here. I know you fellow mamas feel me when I tell you I had NO CLUE what I was doing when we brought our triplets home. It’s a miracle that we’ve all survived these past 9 months, and I’m a firm believer that it was by the grace of God that we did! And while I’ve only …
Tired is Blessed
Confession time! It’s been a LONG few days. I’m tired. The girls have been sick. Brandon has been sick. I’m probably getting sick. Naps have been shorter (check out my instagram video). A dear friend gave me a TON of clothes that her girls have outgrown, so I’ve been sorting and reorganizing the girls’ closet. Our house was a complete …
Christmas Obsession
Anyone who knows me at all knows that I love everything about Christmas in an unhealthy way. I’m the person who has the house completely decorated mid-November, loves peppermint-flavored-everything, listens to Christmas music 24 hours a day, watches the cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, drags my husband to look at Christmas lights and watch parades… I mean you name it, I’m …
Momming
Y’all, I’ve always been a natural with kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12. I’ve worked in church nurseries. I was an elementary teacher for 5 years. I’m good with kids. I knew I had this whole Mom thing down pat. Then I got pregnant with triplets. Then I panicked. Then I gave birth, and had no choice but …
