- I am 40 weeks postpartum from having twins. I've had 8 babies in 10 years. I work out daily at home while kids crawl all over me. I take a bunch of supplements and multiple prescription medications to address extreme inflammation and imbalances from using my body to create and
I am 36 weeks postpartum. I have had 4 babies in 4 years. Don’t believe the lies that having kids destroys you. - Replying to @allie__vossEven *infants* who supposedly aren't affected by seasonal allergies have reactions at this level. Ask me how I know 🫠
- Took all 8 kids to the dentist this morning. Got there on time. No one flipped out. Only one cavity. I am unstoppable.
- That is parenting. You don't have to be a jerk to get your kids to straighten up, especially when you're in public. Example: my 3yo decided to throw a tantrum in Costco yesterday. I say evenly, "I'm not going to tolerate that, and you're going to stop." Shaped up instantly.At a resort pool. A mom and her 4 year old playing in front of me. “You’re stupid!” says the child.

- My husband was 20 and made 12k a year when we got married. I'd say we're doing just fine these days.
As a man, Don't rush to date or marry. It makes no sense to date while you're broke. Stay single until you get your money, body and mind right. Love is a reward for success No woman loves you unconditionally. - Have the babies first. The rest will work out. We are officially homeowners 🥳
- My husband "retired" me at age 30. Going to an office every day would be a trillion times easier than homeschooling a 5th grader, two 3rd graders, and a 1st grader, while also keeping a 4yo, 2yo, and baby twins from dying/destroying the house. Monday morning meetings would be a
- If you want to raise not picky eaters, feed them a variety of flavors while theyre still babies! My 10mo twins had cedar plank smoked salmon, okra, and fresh figs for dinner tonight and at about 80% of what they were served. Dont be afraid of seasonings, either! Babies enjoy
