A For Effort

In this episode, we had the privilege of talking to three moms who all are parenting multiples! Chelsey in Arizona is raising 2 boys, but welcomed twin girls 10 months ago. As the newest of the bunch, she shares with us how she figuring out the nuances of twins with her other 2 boys at home. Next up we interviewed Jani, also in Arizona, who has twin boys! Born on Christmas Eve and with a crazy first week of life, Jani has honed her skills as a mom of multiples with a 7 year old son then the 4 year old twins. Our final guest is Kate, in our home state, who has 12 year old triplet boys and 8 year old twin girls. She shares with us the logistics of how to make sure everyone is rested and fed, but also how to enjoy these seasons of parenting that really are quite short. 

What is A For Effort?

Hey, it’s us: Amanda and Megan. We’re just two average moms who love their kids so dang much we decided to start a podcast! This is not another mommy podcast, with experts informing you how you can be a better mom/wife/daughter/coworker/best friend in twenty-six sugar-coated steps. What WILL you find in this podcast? Validation? Yes. Laughter? Hopefully. Inspiring advice? Probably not.

Truthfully, no matter how many parenting books we read or conferences we attend, we still find ourselves raising our eyebrows and stifling laughs at our offspring. So, at the end of the day, we just slap each other on the butts (like you did in high school volleyball) and say: “you really tried, and that’s all that matters…”
