Desperate Times

I think the biggest thing I have learned the past 6 months- besides patience and how to properly wear Spanx- is being resourceful.
Sometimes you CAN'T do it all, but HAVE to do it all.


This idea has led me to some rather awkward situations - like nursing two babies at once, in a seemingly empty parking lot, only to have a car full of high school boys park RIGHT in front of me in a lifted truck giving them a full frontal view of all my assets.
Lesson learned. Lift my van or use a LARGE hooter hider.
Resourceful mothers feed dinner in the bathroom. Two year old's dinner in the bathtub killed two birds with one stone and NO mess to clean up. Twins on the counter in the Bumbo. All safe, contained, and full bellies. Trey even smelled like soap for once instead of cow poop. Progression in tiny steps.


When in doubt, eat your sister.

That is so great! My mom used to feed us breakfast (5 kids under 4. Twins in there) in the bath all the time. She'd pile us all in with a huge bowl of oatmeal and stuff our faces one at a time. Less mess! You have such cute kiddos. And you are a great mom!
