Welcome to The Broodery! Here you will find a random smattering of my thoughts and tactics as a mother of 5. If you are wrangling your own brood and trying your best to keep it all together you have found your home. My crew of five range from age 7 to 10 months with a set of twins in the mix. I by no means consider myself a parenting expert but I do believe it is important to learn from each other and that is precisely why I started this blog.
What to know more? Ok…I’ll tell ya!
I met my husband when I was 15 years old and we got married at the young age of 23. After a few years of marriage we were ready – well as ready as you can be – to start our family. Since then have added 3 boys and 2 girls to our brood. I always wanted 4 kids and my husband never had a number in mind so we landed on 5. Needless to say we live in complete chaos and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way, cliché I know. We live in upstate NY a few miles away from where we both grew up – I’m addicted to commitment – and are insanely lucky to be surrounded by family and a pretty amazing group of friends.
Fun Facts:
My favorite color is orange.
I’m the oldest of 4 with 3 younger brothers.
Prior to the twins’ arrival I was a triathlete and I hope to get back into this.
I’m super tall.
Our house almost burnt down a few years ago (I guess that isn’t a fun fact but I think it’s pretty interesting).
I love happy hour.
2/5ths of my Brood are MonoDi Twins
