My third boy was born just shy of his older brothers first birthday. For four days I had two under one but at totally different stages. Their older brother had turned three just one week before. While I did hope to have kids fairly close in age, I never intended to have them all THAT close together, but that's how our story went. After years of being told I was infertile, we had our boys back, to back, to back. Holy cow, it's a mini me! Raising babies together at different stages is tough. … [Read more...]

In the weeks leading up to the holidays I found myself running in all directions, there was so much to get done and it felt like it all fell on my shoulders.
