PSA: I was out walking the pup this morning with baby in the carrier and Thing 1 & 2 close by. Another woman passed by on her walk and said something along the lines of “you are amazing, mama” and it prompted me to make this post.

If you are going to make a mom of multips be seen, make it because of how hard they are working.

I cleaned all day today.

Literally. All day.

I folded laundry and washed dishes and picked up mismatched socks and stray Legos. I swept up eggs from breakfast and chicken nuggets from lunch.

I helped my daughter tidy her room and fold and put away her laundry and my sons organize the stacks of papers they brought home from school.

I barely sat down, and I'm pretty sure the afternoon cup of coffee I was looking forward to is still sitting on the Keurig tray.

But despite my efforts and the efforts of my kids (yes, I do require them to help), my house still looks like this.

No, this is not a "before" photo. It is a right now photo after the hours I spent cleaning—and I just wanna say this about it:

If you walk into a home that looks like this, don't assume someone hasn't been working her (or his) tail off to keep the place inhabitable.

Don't assume a cleaning schedule needs to be put in place, or that better habits need to be maintained.

Don't assume no one cares.

Instead, you can safely assume someone probably feels defeated and a bit like she's failing.

You can assume she's overwhelmed. Frustrated. Hopeless to the point where she's considered burning the place down and starting over somewhere new.

You can assume she's tired. Soooo dang tired.

You can assume she has a ton on her plate. That between her marriage, children, friendships, kid activities, career, and house, something will inevitably be neglected—and she's not going to let that something be her family.

You can assume she's trying really, really hard, but the force of life is more powerful than she is right now.

When you walk into a house that looks like this, comment on the sweetly drawn artwork hanging on the refrigerator. Tell her you love how her house feels full of life. Tell her you're grateful she welcomed you into her home. Then offer to watch her kids for a day so she can clean without tornadoes following closely behind (Kidding... Sort of.).

Mostly, just tell her she's doing a good job.

Because truthfully? The fact is she's probably been cleaning all day.

Fun fact: I keep a post-it in my notebook of all my babies’ names.

Some doulas eventually “lose count” of their births, but so far I am remembering and honoring each one like it was my first.

Another Fun Fact: Baby #1 & Baby #20 were birthed by my first repeat clients 🥰

Had the privilege of working with Jessica & Mike from right after their first positive pregnancy test. We had months to get to know each other, which really came in handy as we navigated some unexpected turns during pregnancy and labor. Jessica & Mike are the true definition of partners and had me and the nurses smiling over their love and concern for one another.
