When your day is so jam packed you have to wait until 8:00 pm to take a pregnancy test 🤪 Some of you have been requesting a full day in the life vlog so here it is! With 6 kids the activity is non stop! But I wouldn’t have it any other way 🤗❤️ #pregnancytest #bigfamily #sahmlife #postpartum
#ad #safety1stpartner As a mom of 6 I have had my share of strollers from single to double! When it comes to a lightweight single stroller I am a big fan of the Safety 1st Turn & Go Travel System! I love how it grows with my baby from the infant carrier attachment to the standard stroller seat! My favorite feature though is how I can effortlessly turn baby to either face towards me or out! Given its convenient lightweight design it is definitely the single stroller I recommend for any mama building their baby registry! #babyregistry #babymusthaves #safety1st @safety1st_official
Am I pregnant with baby # 7?? 😳🤰 How are we feeling about this storytelling style? I thought it would be fun to take you on a journey on how we got here with all these beautiful kiddos by starting from the beginning 🤗❤️ Trying to combine day in the life content with millennial rom com nostalgia, let’s see how it goes ❤️ #pregnancytest #sahmlife #bigfamily #postpartum
As I said in the video "I share my real life, in real time and in life there are waiting periods so I am letting you in during this time." I don't have my cycle back yet, so l have to wait a few weeks after a ✨passionate ✨night for an accurate test reading. Instead of just sharing the results, I thought I could bring you along for the ride. I am letting you in a part of my life as I myself wait to find out. I have shared in two episodes now (the second one immediately following my viral video and now this one) that the tests have been negative but again, might be too soon to tell. That life for NFP (Natural Family Planning) families 🤪😂 I'm just sharing where I am at and making videos about each of my days as I always do. I'm sorry I can't provide the instant gratification many seem to want. 😔 I thought it would be fun to tell our story in a creative way while I myself sit in waiting to find out. And yes, I use the initial pregnancy test clip each episode so you know what series you are seeing. There is a lot of content we scroll through so l'm just trying to tie the series together with the same clip that got you here so it's all familiar. If it's that clip that's upsetting you I'll be happy to change it out! To my current community, how are you feeling about this How I Met Your Mother approach to the storytelling? ❤️ To my fellow NFP Catholic families, aren’t we just always in a perpetual “waiting stage” unless we are pregnant? 😂 #marriagestory #bigfamilylife #dayinthelife #pregnancytest #postpartum How One Date Turned Into 6 Kids
Not every story starts with “the one.” Sometimes it starts with…the wrong guy Part 4 of “How One Date Turned Into 6 Kids” - The Wrong Guy. Follow along to see how we got from here …to forever ❤️ #pregnancytest #pregnancyannouncement #bigfamily #marriagestory
I saw a Reddit thread about me titled "what are we doing wrong?" It broke my heart because they were comparing their situation with mine. So l wanted to share how we got here. I am an open book and wish more influencers shared their stories on how they obtained their lifestyle ❤️ I would like to add though, that when my husband was living at home it was during a time where it was taboo to be living with your parents at 22, especially when you had a good job. But my husband didn't care, he knew what needed to be done. He is also the kind of guy who will drive his car into the ground, even if he has the money for the latest and greatest. There were a lot of smart financial decisions he made at a young age (including investments) that lead us to where we are and I really want to make that clear because I am damn proud of him and beyond thankful for how he has provided for us 🥹❤️❤️ Bottom line though, being born and raised in San Diego, CA has been our biggest advantage in being able to own a home here because we bought when it was still possible. #sandiego #honestmom
#ad I used to think I wasn’t one for jewelry, until my husband got me a little something last Christmas.

Not the moment you have to hurl your 2 year old over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes while wearing the baby just to have to walk home from the park while they throw a tantrum 🤪 #2under2 #toddlerlife
Getting dressed postpartum is not fun. You’re in this in between stage of what you fit into, too small for maternity but too big for your pre pregnancy clothes (well at least for me). As a mom of 6 kids in 9 years I have been in a perpetual state of postpartum 😝 so, I started this little series in hopes I can help you feel better in your postpartum body 🤗❤️❤️ #postpartumstyle #postpartumjourney #postpartumrecovery #midsizefashion
Having different “shifts” has helped us maintain our home with 6 kids ages 9 and under. We have the morning shift, afternoon shift, and then closing shift. Do we get to each other”shift” every single day? No! But having these systems in place helps us get back on track 💪 Is my house clean everyday? Absolutely not! In fact most days it looks like a toy tornado went through our house. But the closing shift helps us reset for the next day. Don’t get me wrong, we have weeks where the closing shift just isn’t happening, but it’s nice to have when it’s time to get back to it. 🤗 What are some systems you have in place for your house? Do you have different “shifts” as well? #nightroutine #bigfamilylife #sahmlife #cleaningroutine #bedtimeroutine
My must haves in my mom car as a mom of 6 with a baby, toddler, preschoolers, and big kids! What are your must haves in your mom car?? #momcar #bigfamilylife #suburban #2under2 white suburban mom 😂
This isn’t to say do away with all routines and rules. Absolutely not. But just like in life, we need to learn how to handle situations when things don’t go according to plan. 🤗 So here is how I stay chill (definitely not all the time) when I am feeling overwhelmed with my 6 kids, especially during the nights I am solo parenting. #parentingadvice #bigfamilylife #momoflittles #2under2 #toddlermom
Episode 3!! I have decided to take a How I Met Your Mother approach and start from the beginning, and I mean the beginning, beginning. But instead of discussing how we met this will be a series on how we started dating and how our relationship grew from there 🤗 I hope you enjoy the journey in learning how we got to where we are as parents of 6 amazing children! 🥹❤️ #pregnancytest #bigfamily #postpartum #sahmlife The Horton House
I have learned to just lean into it and make the most of it on the nights that don’t go according to plan. Instead of getting stressed we did a fun activity and the kids went to bed shortly after that. Granted, we didn’t have to get up early the next day so that definitely helped me in staying less stressed 😂 #nightroutinewithkids #bigfamilylife #2under2 #3under3 #toddlerlife
