It’s been six weeks since our little guys arrived, and I thought it would be fun to share how all of my plans and preparations actually played out in real life.
Some things went even better than I hoped – like family evenings together, baby camp activities, and homeschool routines that felt doable. Other things…not so much. Sleep deprivation hit hard, priorities had to shift, and I learned quickly what really matters in a survival season.
In this episode, I share the highs and lows of postpartum life with five kids, how we’ve managed to keep our home and homeschooling running, and the ways the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit has carried me (plus the new things I’ve added as I’ve gone through this season again.)
