When you have four kids within three years, you come to terms with the fact that diaper changing is about 90% of your profession.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since becoming a mom, it’s that the ordinary moments in life end up being the most beautiful ones. It’s amazing how things can be so chaotic and crazy and yet in the middle of it all, one of my kids will give me a smile that melts my heart, …
I have the type of husband who I could send to the mall and would come back with an outfit for me that I’d like better than one I’d pick out for myself. The guy’s got style. He is also someone I cannot shop for. He’s particular, but honestly I love that he cares about how he looks. …

Over the past few months I’ve made a 180 when it comes to nutrition, and I’m now constantly on the lookout for ways I can incorporate healthy nutrients into my family.
