Life as a Boy Mom

Most of us set out on the parenting journey with high hopes and expectations. We pray for a healthy baby first of all, but tucked behind that prayer is usually a gender expectation. I grew up with one sister, and I always thought it would be nice to have a smattering of both blue and pink in my household. I had no frame of reference for multiple boys, but that's what I got!

Yes, that's what I got -- four times. I have four wonderful sons and life has been an exciting and, at times, an exasperating journey. But I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My hope is that this will be a place of help, encouragement, and inspiration for boy moms. Here's my best advice for the mother of multiple boys: Tumble out of bed expecting a crazy day. Then you'll never be disappointed.

For the love of boys,
Laura
