Tell me you have reached your mid 30s without telling me you have reached your mid 30s 😂

Our washer and dryer had been really acting up. With 7 of us in the house we desperately need our washing machine working. My husband got on it and had someone come out to look at it. Then things got worse. Two days later while I was asleep in the early morning he had a brand new washer and dryer delivered and installed so when I woke up they were ready to go 🥹❤️😭😭 

My husband is really good about keeping up with this stuff. While I never have to ask him repeatedly for things to get done I still show him appreciation each time he does it. ❤️❤️

In regards to the headlines of my husband “not helping” during my labor and me doing laundry during labor, here’s the story. 

About a year ago I documented the labor and birth of my fifth child for educational purposes. My whole account is dedicated to discussing the realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood in an encouraging way ❤️ So with this documentation I showed myself in extreme nesting mode doing laundry and people lost it!

When my labor started I wanted to stay distracted. The best thing I can do for that is to clean and feel like I am in control of something during a time where I am not really in control of anything 😂 It was 10pm and our one year old woke up crying. My husband of course took care of him so I wouldn’t be trying to console a crying baby while in labor. When my husband went back to the nursery, I saw the laundry and thought, “That has to get done NOW!” So I did it. My husband does laundry everyday but with 7 people there is ALWAYS a pile to be done no matter how on top of it we are.

I literally thought nothing of it and knew a lot of moms with multiples could relate to the strong need to clean while in labor 😂 Well, a lot of younger people got wind of the video on the clock app and lost their minds. I was stitched thousands of times and then the media got hold of it. Tim and I were asked to appear on different talk shows but we denied the invite🙈 

Anyway, what’s your most “peak adult” gift?! I also got emotional when I got a new vacuum 😂
