Do You Really Have a Favorite

by Andre

Being a parent is hard enough and when you have multiple children, it gets creative. Together we have five children (four sons and a daughter) who are unique. An engineer, future neurosurgeon, future real estate agent, marketer, and a musician.

We are Teresa and Andre. First, thank you for visiting our website. We created our blog to share our journey as a couple and as parents. The good, the bad, and honesty throughout. We hope that you find something here that can help you and let you know that you are not alone.

As a couple, we have been able to navigate through challenges and enjoy the high points of having a family. We are as different as our writing styles, but we continue to grow together and love each other immensely. We believe that sharing with others can provide hope and perhaps a path for others to do the same.

When we are not sharing with you on our blog, we like to keep busy. We both enjoy hanging out with our tribe (kids) of five children, most who are now adults, watching movies, dancing, and cooking.

Again, thank you for visiting.
