It’s go time—six kids, three sets of twins, and a full summer ahead! In this video, I’m sharing everything I did to prepare our home, routines, and hearts for the chaos and beauty of summer with a big family. From decluttering toys and rotating books to deep cleaning, doctor appointments, backyard prep, and stocking the pantry—this is how I’m getting our family ready for three full months of summer break.

You’ll also hear about the emotional side of this season—why my videos have been less frequent, and the grief I’ve quietly been walking through.

🧺 What I tackled: – Decluttering kids’ books, clothes & toys – Prepping summer wardrobes – Deep cleaning the fridge, pantry & windows – Stocking up on snacks & paper goods – Scheduling swim lessons, doctor & dentist appointments – Filing schoolwork & artwork – Backyard & garden cleanup – Summer meal planning + 1950s-inspired dinners – Fresh laundry, workbook time, & thank-you notes for teachers

💛 Real life. No makeup. No perfect setups. Just honest prep and a big heart for family life.

Being a twin mom is wild, wonderful, and... full of unsolicited comments from strangers 😬.

• Why some comments hit hard in the early days
• The odds (yes, the real stats!) of having 3 spontaneous sets of twins
• Hilarious stories—like the time my toddlers locked me out & raided the coffee maker ☕
• The TLC show we almost had
• Why we don’t tell our kids who the “older twin” is
