I am a baby-wearer to the MAX. I studied cross cultural parenting in college which gave me a whole new outlook on baby wearing. Not only is it convenient but it has AMAZING benefits. Personally, I practice Attachment Parentingand something called "The Second Nine Months" , and it has honestly been incredible with all 4 babies. I have 4 very secure babies, who sleep great and are very confident. Confident enough to play on their own without hanging all over me. Which is why I can survive with 4 kids! 

I am a total book worm. I could spend hours reading book after book. Thankfully, my kids (most of them) have taken after me in that aspect. My oldest LOVES books so much. She usually reads chapter books in a day or two. But when she was younger, it was easier for me to get reading time in with her. She was interested AND I had more time to give just her. But ask the family grows, its harder to find time to spend with each child reading individually. Yes, the husband and I conquer and divide, but sometimes we want to all be together too. 

I love hearing what questions you all want me to answer. This is a really popular question. "How do I prepare our kids for a new baby?"  This is such an awesome question and one that many parents have when they are considering adding a new baby the bunch or when they get pregnant. 

Alright, mamas. Breastfeeding is HARD! Thankfully, I have had great breastfeeding experiences with 3 out of 4 of my babies. But the first time around with my oldest, I was misadvised which lead to pain, stress, lots of tears and eventually formula. And I feel like there is so much misinformation out there regarding nursing. So I brought in the best Lactation Consultant I know to answer some of those questions new andexperienced mamas have regarding nursing! Amey Clark with Az Breastfed Babies is a literal Breastfeeing genius and so educated on every aspect of nursing! (and much, much more!) She has graciously answered some of the FAQ's of breastfeeding and given us her Top 5 Breastfeeding Tips!

Alright, friends. I am going to admit it. Having 4 kids is freaking hard. It's dirty. And its a little bit stressful. I would rather spend my time reading and playing with my kids then cleaning. And my new friend bObi Classic from bObsweep lets me do just that! 

When I say it out loud, it sounds silly. Only married for 4 years. Because it feels like we have been together forever. But 4 years ago, we said "I do" in a private ceremony with just us and the 2 older kids. Little did we know, a few years later we would add two more precious girls to the bunch.
