Hi, I’m Jessica, 30-something mom to five, four in my arms and one in my heart.

On any given day you will find me taxi-ing a teenager, debating with two 5 year olds and trying to talk my three year old into going with the program for just. one. moment… all the while, looking for the closest Starbucks drive thru in Southeastern Michigan.

I began motherhood as a teen parent and found myself as the single mom to a daughter with autism. Many years and ten thousand issues I needed to call Mom and Dad for later, I met my Prince Charming.  I would love to say it was a fairy tale from then on but after years of infertility, we became pregnant with triplets only to lose our daughter, Hadley, as an infant.

A little over a year later my youngest was born, who has happily taken his place as the quintessential baby of the family.

I am a tad addicted to anything Social Media so you can always find me on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.

Email me any time at fourplusanangel@gmail.com.

You can also find me weekly (and sometimes more often) at Childswork and  SheKnows.com.
