T Minus 6 Days

How many moms out there have more than one child? Are there any of you that have a set of multiples? How about a set of "Irish Twins?" As some of you may remember from earlier posts, I have Irish Twins Carmelo and Ajani are nine and a half month apart. Now that I have three children, this will be interesting to see how life will be with two eight-year-olds and an eight-month-old.

My middle child is doing pretty well given the fact that he is not the baby anymore. He changes diapers, "babysits" without sitting on the baby (of course he is accompanied by a baby monitor while I have my back turned). I am genuinely excited to see what this year brings for my family. Dad is at work while mom works hard with the kids most days. Maintaining a balance is something we are always working on.

Usually, this post would have been a #TruthTellingTuesday. I will keep this truth short today as the countdown to Ajani's 8th birthday starts. 

Balance is often short lived without persistence. Life will become a whirlwind without balance. Each day, do self-checks. Check in on yourself. Set aside five to ten minutes to breathe and think: Did I eat enough today? How can I manage my time better? Or just to take in some silence after hearing "mom, he's bothering me" most of the day.

Are there any July babies reading? Share your birthday plans.

Be you and be true to yourself beautiful people!
