Life with 5 children seven and under is a busy one. Here is a little glimpse into a typical day in my household.

Felicia's Sky Temple Beco ButterflyOh no……..it’s time to get up ALREADY! I swear I just don’t get enough sleep. Downstairs I go to feed the masses and start my first round of diaper changes. They all want food and they wanted it yesterday. To make things a little easier baby #5 starts his day in the Beco.

Breakfast is done and it’s time to start the morning chores. This is right about the time that baby #4 is demanding for uppy back Mama, uppy back!!! So they both go in their Beco’s to get things donea bit easier. This is usually the time I start breaking up the first arguments of the day.

Wearing two kids with Beco Butterfly carriersDiaper change, snack time, nap time, clean up, outside play time, break up fights. Now it’s time to get everybody in the car for errands and very important Mommy’s yummy coffee with all that whipped cream. The most important things to pack except for the children of course are the Beco’s!! How do people shop with 5 kids by themselves. They MUST own a Beco.

We all head home to pack a lunch, change diapers, potty break, do a quick clean up, referee another fight and head out to a park or beach to picnic. We live in such a beautiful town so this can be a difficult choice to decide where to go. Almost as difficult as which Beco to use, the stunning Sky Temple or gorgeous new Isis. After getting some fresh air and exercise we head back home where it’s time for the evening transition. Mommy gets tubs and showers going while Felicia in her Beco Butterfly IsisDaddy starts cooking a yummy dinner for his six favorite people. Lucky Mommy rarely has to cook!! And of course all this is done with a baby on my back.

Now my favorite time of day is nearing, the time when I have clean smelling snuggly babies. Everybody gets a story, a kiss and hug and off to bed they go. Unfortunately a Mother’s work is never done. After the kitchen clean up, another load of laundry, toy pick up, two or three potty wake up’s, the removal of a bug from somebody’s room, I wipe down the Beco’s from the day’s mess and put them and myself to bed. I really hope tonight’s the night I get extra sleep.

    Thank you so much! She is our one random child with curls, none of the other kids have ever had them.
