There, now perhaps you won't think I'm superwoman anymore, just a crazy lady trying to get the basics of life done every day!
Alright, who is asking my gorgeous wife out on a date? That is my privilege!
ReplyDeleteMultitasking is the ONLY way to do it, Jenny! I loved the one where you were breastfeeding, doing something else, and telling your other child what hand position to go to! And since you are pretty much continually breastfeeding, I guess you pretty much are multitasking all the time,huh? Great post, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteyou're funny. what's this about the date?
ReplyDeleteHey Jen...it seems that if you were not breastfeeding...you wouldn't need to multi-task!:) I am loving your pots! Next time you come to the nursery, let's meet and you can consult me! beautiful...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute. And amazing! I love your family and am so glad you are my friend.
ReplyDeleteHillarious!!! You are great. When my sister had her twins she used to use the breast pump while driving. One time she pulled up next to a police officer....2 funny. Wonder what the truckers thought......
ReplyDeleteBottom line as moms we do what we have to-when we have to.
