Yes, They Are All Mine HTV Shirt

Today, I’m answering the question that moms of multiples and moms of large families are routinely asked.

Yes, they are all mine.

As a mom of triplets, I am asked crazy questions by strangers on a regular basis. I’m beyond blessed with my brood, and I understand the attraction of triplet boys. But it gets me every time a stranger looks at me with raised eyebrows and incredulously asks in a high pitched voice, “Are THEY all YOURS?”

Is a family with four kids really that out of place?

Having several kids has meant that I have learned to do many things efficiently and effectively. For instance, I’ve perfected my morning getting-out-the-door routine to the minute. When I only had my daughter, I found myself constantly late. I have no idea why. Now that we have four kids, I can get out of the house like a boss with all kids dressed and a cooler of snacks packed. By getting up early and being prepared, I even find myself leaving with my daily green tea in hand.

There are lots of blog posts out there with recommendations on how to make mornings easier or how to get out of the house semi-sane, but the truth is that it all comes back to the basics:

• Prep as much as you can the previous night. Pack lunches, lay out clothes, sign homework folders, wash the dishes, etc.
• Get up with the alarm sounds. Nothing makes me later than the snooze button.
• Allow a minimum of 10 minutes of additional time for “mishaps.” One kid decides to “go potty” right when it’s time to leave or another rubs diaper cream in his hair while you’re dressing the others. It happens, right? Try to allow a few extra minutes to deal with things that is necessarily in the morning plan.
• Have “to-go” items on hand. Pre-washed apples on the counter and a granola bar can go a long way to help out with morning breakfast when those “mishaps” that I mentioned above come along. Are you a coffee or tea drinker? Dixie® To Go cups are helpful for those mornings when you need to get out of the house AND have your caffeine fix STAT! They have a leak resistant lid and insulated layer to make the most of my hot tea. And the best part- no clean up!
