What bedtime looks like in our house with 5 kids ages 8 and under ❤️

This all takes place after dinner, bath and clean up. 🤗 I have tried to start this whole routine earlier but after being met with fight after fight, I have since learned to lean into what seems to be our natural bed time. ❤️

Bedtime is a special time in our house because it is when most of the heart to hearts happen. Each kid gets individual time with each parent and it just fills our heart ❤️🥹

What does bed time look like for you in your house? What is your time frame between the kids laying in their beds and actually falling asleep?

Quiet Toddler Activities for Church
As a mom of 6 little ones I understand the stress of bringing your toddler and little children to church. It’s important to remember though, “If the church ain’t crying, it’s dying.” With that said, here are some quiet activities to help your little one though church while hopefully learning about the process too!

When you realize you are living out a scene you used to daydream about
When painting and decorating the nursery I realized this I was living in the exact scene I use to daydream about when I was younger and would think about my future 🥹❤️ "Remember that once you dreamed of being where you are now" #pregnancyjourney #preparingforbaby #nurserydecor #gettingreadyforbaby #momtobe #marriedlife #newlyweds

What I fed my 6 kids today
I'll admit it, there wasn't much cooking going on this day. It was a busy day and my husband and I were doing our best to get the kids fed with balanced meals (protein, grain, fruits & veggies) they would actually eat. I remember thinking, "Am I just lazy when it comes to cooking? How did the women before us cook every single meal?" And the answer is, they didn't. I don't know how we got it in our heads that we are the first generation to resort to quick ready to eat items when in a pinch. I look back at some of the recipes my grandmother used and you can bet canned foods was a big part of the meal! On top of that we are now living in a society where in most households both parents have to work. We have less time than we did before, we do the best we can!

Morning routine 40 weeks pregnant with baby #6
Notice how much my morning routine has slowed down since hitting 40 weeks? 😂😝 Each day feels a little foggy, like that week between Christmas and New Years 😂 Anyone else turn into a complete blob when they go past their due date? I probably should be moving more than ever but man being THIS pregnant in the summer is no joke 🥵 #40weekspregnant #morningroutine #bigfamilylife #dayinthelife #momlifebelike #momoflittles

Quick meals I ate 10 weeks postpartum as a mom of 6
What I ate in a day as a newly postpartum mom who is trying to take better care of herself! These meals were absolutely delicious and so incredibly easy to put together! As a mom of 6 kids ages 9 and under I don't have a lot of time to make food for myself. But I LOVE to eat and got tired of eating my kid's chicken nuggets so l am on a mission to find easy meals that are delicious and quick to prepare! Let me know if you want me to make a separate video for any of the recipes shown! #postpartumrecovery #postpartummeals #easydinnerrecipes #easymeals #lifewithlittles #sahmlife #quickmeals

How I keep my furniture clean as a mom of 6
Kicking myself that I paid full price for this thing when it's on sale right now! This carpet cleaner uses heat to get up not only stains but odors as well! You would never know the amount of accidents we have had on our carpets because of this carpet cleaner!!! Anyone remember my 💩story about our toddler as we were on our way out the door to baby girl's baptism!? 😂 Well thanks to this carpet cleaner there wasn't a trace of a stain or smell!! There's a reason why it has so many 5 star reviews!! #homecleaninghacks #cleaningtips #momlifebelike #momoflittles #sahmlife

New Year’s morning 13 weeks pregnant with 5 kids
Don't get me wrong, this vlog was filmed during a week filled with lots of sickness, complaining, and a bit of cabin fever. Just goes to show you that while not everyday may be perfect, each day can be filled with perfect moments 🤗❤️ What does the week between Christmas and New Years look for you guys? Relaxing? Filled with sickness? Jammed pack with activities? A little bit of all of it? 😝 #momvlogs #honestmomconfessions #pregnancyannouncement #pregnancylife #momof5

How we pack for a trip with a baby and a toddler (and 3 other kids)
All this for just one night and day 😂 It honestly feels like I am packing up the whole bathroom when it comes to any trip with a baby, toddler and 3 other kids...jk it's me. I have a skin care routine I don't budge from, even if it is just 24 hours 😝 Anyone guesses to where we went on this quick trip?! 👀 I am not a seasoned traveler when it comes to traveling with multiple little children so I would love to hear some tips! #travelingwithkids #momof5 #momtobe #vacationwithkids Traveling with a baby, traveling with a baby and toddler

Raising our kids in San Diego, CA and now our evenings look like this 🥹
California sunsets, beach air, In N Out, warm shower, clean pajamas, and snuggling up with those you love at the end of it all, screams the perfect evening to me 🥹❤️ Don't get me wrong California has its issues, but it's where my husband and I call home. Our parents were born and raised here, we were born and raised here, and now our babies are born and raised here 🥹❤️ This video is from last summer, but as the season approaches I couldn't help but get excited and share it again. 🌅 Are you still in your home town? If so do you love it? If not, do you miss it? #sandiegomom #sandiegoliving #momvlog #sandiegomomlife #bigfamilylife

Friday nights = pizza and a movie night 🍿🎬🥤🍕
Friday nights = pizza and a movie night 🍿🎬🥤🍕 Since I gave birth at the start of summer we planned this season to be very mellow. The kids weren't in any extra activities for the past two months. Our schedule was our own. The summer was filled with lots of beach sunsets, pool days, and movie nights. But that all changes next week. Their sports and extra curricular activities begin again and homeschooling will be ramping back up. I am always a little sad when summer ends. I love the uninterrupted schedule and the many days at the beach and pool. But I am also excited to get back into a routine and see my babies thrive and make new friends in their activities! I guess the change up makes me appreciate each season when they come🤗 How are you feeling now that summer is coming to end? ☀️
