About Us!

Hello there! Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I am so glad you found our little home. Please kick off your shoes & have a seat. Can I get you anything to drink or snack on ?

IMG_0172My name is Jessica (most people call me Jess) & I am the mommy to 4 wild & rambunctious little boys, a precious little girl, am expecting a new bundle of joy in early September and as if that wasn’t enough we have a puppy too! Tray, my oldest is 9, Davy my Mamas boy is 7, Z-monster is my picky 6 year old, RyRy my little tornado is 4, Princess Dot was born on March 9th 2010, our latest addition will be here in late August or early September, and of course we can’t forget about sweet Miss Izzy, our puppy!

Family is everything to me! I am very close with my parents and siblings and hope to raise my children the same way! I enjoy raising my babies, spending time with family, cooking, blogging, diving into a good book and most recently photography. Definitely my biggest accomplishment are my children, they are what gets me out of bed in the morning and keeps me on my toes all day long!

My 9 year old loves water parks, dragons, video games & riding his skate board! He is growing into quite the young man & loves his siblings dearly.

My 7 year old has this crazy fascination with dinosaurs! He goes to the library every week and gets a book about dinos Every.Single.Week. He is also obsessed with Squishy toys!

My 6 year old loves to ride on his bike and is my mischievousness little guy! He loves sweets and is seriously so extremely fascinated with learning the way everything works.

Finally, for the boys,  my 4 year old loves to play outside, swing, ride bikes, color, terrorize everyone and spray water everywhere!

The boys are full of life & very rambunctious! They love to play video games, run around outside, swim, and have wild & crazy imaginations.

Princess has been so much fun lately! She LOVES her brothers and is such a happy little lady! Now don’t get me wrong she is still the Princess and demands all attention on her. She loves dressing up, digging in mommy’s purse, building blocks, babies, and PRINCESSES!

As if 4 boys and a girl wasn’t enough we decided to add in a puppy! Izzy is our adorable Chiweenie pup, she was born on May 2nd 2012 and is such a tiny little thing! She loves to chew on bones, play with toys, chew up stuffed animals, cuddle with mama and run around! She is so adorable and hardly ever barks so she is a complete joy to our lives!

Baby 6 will be here sometime in late August or early September! We are going to wait until birth to find out if baby is boy or girl and are so excited for it’s arrival!
 

We are a family who is striving to lessen our carbon footprint & be as green as possible. When my children were babies we cloth diapered, breastfed, babywear, & sometimes we still co-sleep! My children are very important to me & I want them to grow into responsible, loving, individuals. Anything I can do to help that process along I will.

Family love!

Some people think I am nuts for having so many kids ESPECIALLY little boys but it’s my life & I enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you stick around & would really love it if you would follow my blog or subscribe to my feeds!

  1. Beautiful family! I have 4 kiddos, twin girls & 2 boys, almost all grown except the youngest one at home now (age 15). The best part of parenting- grandbabies! I have 2 granddaughters, both almost one. Enjoy your family, if you raise them well they will come back to you & remain close like mine have done!

    wow lovely family

  3. What cute yummy kids! I raised 4, my hands were full but there was always room for more, if someone for any reason needs a sitter for a week end or a few months. Just saying I understand your passion. You sound a lot like me in fact except I can’t get this picture thing down. Enjoy them handsome little men and that pretty miss.

    What a beautiful family! I have two babes a 22 year old and a 3 year old. Was always afraid to have more or even too close in age. You seem to have it together your kids look great and happy. And your princess is adorable. Just subscribed to your emails.

  17. melissa portillo says:

  18. Your children are gorgeous, no doubt, but the clothes in the last picture made me laugh. I love it!!! The boys are matching and rematching (shorts/shirts). It’s coordinated perfectly!

  19. Holly Cornish says:

    That princess of yours is getting big!

  24. Jessica W says:

    What a beautiful family! I would love to have 5-6 kiddos. I am just not sure how we would budget for that. :( I have been trying to convince my husband to adopt a sibling set of 4, but I think he thinks I am nuts. :)

  25. letessha w. says:

    You are blessed with a beautiful family! I also have 5 kiddos.

  26. What a lucky little girl to have so many big brothers to watch out for her!

    Thank you very much for your time.

  30. Deb Dorrington says:

    Hi Jess,

  36. you have such beautiful kids!

  37. Cabubsmom says:

    First off, your kids are adorable, every single one of them! And I have to say I love their curly fluffy hair :) I have always wanted a baby with curly hair, but I have all boys with very straight hair…boring! LOL! You aren't crazy for having 5. I wanted 4, but my husband wanted 2, so we agreed to 3…and wouldn't you know it, I had all boys :) I love your blog and am now following! Come check me out if you want…

    Also, I am a button hoarder, so I am stealing yours :)

  38. OHHH My goodness! Your children are adorable! What a gorgeous family! Can't wait to follow the blog!

  39. It's wonderful you have so many kids. And, princess Dot is adorable. I bet her brothers love having a little sister. Keep up the great work with everything you do!

  40. pinklady705 says:

    Thank you for letting us know a little bit more about you and your children. I really can't imagine what it's like to have that many children as I was only able to have one…though that is still more than some. It's great to know that you love them and enjoy them, that's the most important thing.

  41. allboymama says:

    I'm a new follower & new blogger. Haven't set everything right yet, just sort of jumped in. I like learning as I'm doing. I have 4 boys too. My step son is 18, then 12 yo, 8 yo & a 6 mo. I'd love to here how you learned blogger with all the kids haha any tips?

  42. CACTUSKOGGI/MOMMYKOGGIBOO (KMRIEBESEHL/ RIEBESEHL FAMILY says:

    I love this blog and think you're way awesome especially because our one little boy is doing us in at age 4 disassembling the house piece by piece!!! BAM BAM BAM!!! All of his sisters and his mommy and daddy love him like crazy and do our best everyday keeping him safe, healthy, & happy and would love a bunch more!!! I can't believe how much a mommy can love little boys— I love love love my little girls to pieces and never thought I'd be one of those mommies I always giggled about as I never had brothers or male cousins, nephews, etc. :o ( but now I'm one of them and then some when it comes to my little bitty boy!!! I just can't love on him enough because he's such a stinker!!! :o ) I am sure to visit again hoping for any advice you have as you sound like a pro!!! Take care & Happy New Year! http://thecozycactus.blogspot.com

  51. Sherrie says:

    I bet there is lots of love to go around in your household. I am the happy mom of 3 boys. 2 biological and 1 stepson. I consider my stepson as one of my own. I also enjoy my boys and wouldn't trade a minute of my precious time with them.

    I am also striving to go as green as possible now that I am more aware of the issues affecting our earth and the need to preserve it for our kids and future generations to come.

    Good luck to you and your fiance.' Congrats on your brand new, precious baby girl!

  52. Mollie's Mommy says:

    I am totally amazed! I only have one child so far and life gets pretty hectic. I admire you for managing all that you do and an awesome blog to top it off! I also cloth diaper and can only imagine the amount of laundry you must do. =) Congratulations on your sweet little girl and keep up the great work!

  53. i enjoyed reading your bio! Congratulations on the little girl, who should be making her appearance very soon! Little girls are so much fun, boys are too of course..just in a different way. i love that you cloth diaper, breastfeed, babywear, & co-sleep! i did that with my children too. My daughter still sleeps with us most nights. :) Great to meet you!

  54. Jess,
    Just reading this again while browsing your site…I know some people DO think we are crazy for having a big family but I cant even THINK about what my life would be like without any ONE of my six kids. I got a LOT of unsolicited advice when pregnant with the last TWO, even from family. One day, while at work at a busy ophthalmology clinic, I had one guy even say…"you know they have stuff that will PREVENT that!" I was appalled and wanted to rip the guy a whole new YOU KNOW WHAT, and tell him my child was planned for and already loved to pieces! BUT, in a work situation I could only smile and say my husband and I could not be happier and could not WAIT to meet our daughter. He said nothing more. People can be rude! I grew up in a family of 9 kids and knew I always wanted 5 kids…I figure I just got a BONUS! and she is now 10 and the most wonderful, fun and good humored child in the "batch". We are VERY blessed with ALL of our kids. I cant wait til you announce the birth of this one and we get to "meet" her and hear her name!

  55. As a mom of 6 kids (who also babysits my two nephews who are with me 11 hours every day), I think it's wonderful you are having another. People just don't know what they are missing out on.

    I really love your blog. I found it because of your Sleepy Wrap giveaway. Love your blog!!!

    Jackie

  56. 5 kidsw is A LOT!! But it's amazing, I just wish I could have 5 kids!

  57. Just wanted to say hi and thanks! :)
